Replacements

Listings that take over the same core job as Rise.

  • Sleep Cycle

    A sleep tracking app that uses sound analysis to score sleep and wake you gently.

    Sleep Cycle scores sleep through sound analysis with a smart alarm, is available on Android as well as iOS, and focuses on nightly quality rather than sleep debt and energy peaks.

  • SleepScore

    A phone app that tracks sleep with sonar instead of a wearable and offers coaching.

    SleepScore tracks sleep with phone sonar and adds coaching and a nightly score, runs on Android and iOS, but does not predict daily energy peaks from circadian rhythm.

  • AutoSleep

    An automatic sleep tracker for Apple Watch that keeps all data on the device.

    PaidProprietaryiOS

    AutoSleep tracks sleep automatically on Apple Watch with all data kept on the device and no subscription, but it requires a watch rather than working from phone data.

  • Pillow

    A sleep tracker for Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad with sleep analysis and a smart alarm.

    FreemiumProprietaryiOS

    Pillow tracks sleep on Apple Watch, iPhone and iPad with sleep audio and a smart alarm, and it uses a freemium model instead of Rise's paid app.

  • Athlytic

    Apple Watch and iPhone app that turns Apple Health data into daily recovery, exertion and sleep scores.

    FreemiumProprietaryiOS

    Athlytic gives Apple Watch sleep scores for quality, debt and consistency alongside recovery and exertion scores, but needs an Apple Watch.

  • Sleep as Android

    An Android alarm clock and sleep cycle tracker with smart wake-up and snore detection.

    FreemiumProprietaryAndroid

    Sleep as Android moves you to Android with a phase-based smart alarm and snore recording, but without Rise's energy peak predictions.

  • SleepWatch

    A sleep tracking app that uses an Apple Watch or iPhone to analyse nightly sleep.

    SleepWatch uses Apple Watch heart rate, HRV and blood oxygen for sleep trend reports and is also on Android, though it lacks Rise's energy predictions.
