Erly — An Alarm That Makes You Get Up

Erly is an accountability alarm app designed for people who keep snoozing. Instead of letting you silence an alarm from bed, it requires you to complete a real task before the alarm turns off.

Who it is for

Anyone who wants a more reliable wake-up routine and needs more friction than a standard alarm clock can provide.

Key features

• Challenge-based alarms: choose tasks such as push-ups, math problems, Bible verses, photos of the sky, object searches, making your bed, touching grass, or affirmations.

• Camera verification: for physical tasks such as push-ups, the phone camera checks that you completed the challenge.

• Streaks and progress history: track wake-up consistency over weeks and months.

• Bedtime app limits: schedule distracting apps to be blocked as part of your evening and morning routine.

• Goal accountability: the App Store listing describes locked wake-up goals and daily check-ins to make progress visible.

Getting started

Set an alarm, select a challenge, and complete it when the alarm rings. The alarm only stops once the task is verified.

Availability and pricing

Erly is available through the App Store and Google Play. The App Store lists it as free to download with in-app purchases; a subscription is required for full feature access. Exact pricing was not shown on the official pages reviewed, so check the current store listing before subscribing.

Takeaway

Erly turns waking up into a small accountability ritual: the core idea is simple, but it makes reaching for the snooze button much harder.
