Early: Photo Alarm Clock

Your alarm goes off. You reach for it. You turn it off. You go back to sleep.

Early breaks that loop. The only way to silence it is to get up, find a real object, and photograph it. No slider. No five more minutes.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Set an alarm and pick a mission.
2. It rings — through Silent mode and through Focus.
3. It does not stop until the camera sees what you were sent to find.

By the time you've crossed the room, you're awake. Willpower was never the issue. Distance was.

TEN MISSIONS
• Object Hunt — a random household object, different every morning
• Nature Hunt — get outside and photograph something living
• Pet Hunt — track down your animal
• Touch Grass — literally
• Sky Photo — point the camera up and catch the morning
• Make Your Bed — make it, then photograph the evidence
• Math Problem — solve it before your brain is ready
• Affirmations — type it out and mean it
• Bible Verse — start the day with a verse
• Surprise Me — a different mission each morning, and you won't know which

39 objects across household, nature and pets.

WHY IT WORKS
You can dismiss a slider in bed with your eyes shut. You cannot photograph a running faucet without standing up.

IT RINGS THROUGH SILENT AND FOCUS
Early is built on Apple's AlarmKit (iOS 26 and later), so it rings even on silent, even in a Focus mode, with a full-screen alarm on your Lock Screen. On earlier versions of iOS it falls back to a burst of time-sensitive notifications.

YOUR PHOTOS NEVER LEAVE THIS DEVICE
Recognition runs entirely on-device using Apple Vision. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is added to your photo library, and no one — including us — ever sees a frame. Early records only what the classifier concluded.

KEEP THE STREAK
Wake history, streaks, and how long each morning took you.
