RISE review

RISE takes a different angle from stage trackers. Instead of grading each night, it estimates your sleep need, adds up the shortfall as sleep debt and shows how that debt maps onto your energy across the day. The Energy Schedule marks expected peaks and dips from your circadian rhythm, and the app suggests when to wind down, when your melatonin window opens and when a nap would help. It pulls sleep data from Apple Health, Apple Watch, Fitbit, Oura, WHOOP and phone trackers such as Sleep Cycle and ShutEye, so it pairs well with a device you already wear. Widgets, calendar integration, sleep sounds, a smart alarm and habit reminders round it out. The help center says there is no permanent free plan; yearly plans include a trial, and the App Store mentions 7 days. AI Expert coaching and Expert Chat with sleep psychologists are paid add-ons. We could not confirm a labeled US price, so the price is pending.
