About Early Bird: Wake Up Earlier
Most alarm apps are easy to ignore. You snooze, you roll over, and the morning gets away from you. Early Bird is builtto actually get you out of bed, and to slowly turn you into someone who wakes up early without dreading it. Here is how it works. When your alarm goes off, it keeps ringing until you stand up and photograph your made bed. There is no snooze button to fall back on. Making your bed takes about a minute, and by the time you have done it you are already up and awake. The photos are only used to confirm you got up. They are never saved or shared. The second part is the progression. Instead of forcing a big change overnight, Early Bird moves your wake time a few minutes earlier each day. You pick the time you wake up now and the time you want to reach, and the app eases you toward it. Wake up on time and tomorrow comes a little earlier. Miss a morning and it backs off instead of punishing you. Over a few weeks, a 9:00 wake up quietly becomes a 6:30 one. Early Bird requires a subscription ($59.99/year after free trial). WHAT YOU GET - An alarm that will not quit until you are up and have made your bed - A wake schedule that moves earlier at a pace you choose - A short morning routine you build yourself to start the day - Trends showing your streak, your progress to your goal, and the hours you have reclaimed - A gentle bedtime reminder so you are rested enough to actually get up YOUR PRIVACY Early Bird has no accounts and no logins. There is no email to hand over, it does not track you, and it collects no data. Your bed photos are checked on your device and then discarded. Early Bird requires iOS 26.1 or later and uses Apple's alarm system, so your wake up fires reliably even when the app is closed. Try Early Bird free for 7 days. After that it is $59.99 per year, with a monthly option also available. Cancel anytime. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
