I personally prefer apps that integrate with my existing calendar, so it looks like I'll stick to getting my Rock fix via Instagram, rather than early-morning wake-up calls. Perhaps if you're training for a specific goal, like a marathon, it's a great daily reminder. It's worth it for daily videos from The Rock and his charming but challenging personality. The Rock Clock is a free app, so it's certainly worth the download to see if it's right for you. I kept using my iPhone alarm clocks, though, as they're much more idiot-proof and guaranteed to go off. I didn't necessarily feel more motivated, but I certainly was entertained. The tones are all kinds of kooky and fun and the videos aren't available anywhere else but on the app. I enjoyed being able to focus on a certain goal and it did make me more mindful of my daily routine while on the road. On the days when the alarms didn't go off, I often didn't think to watch the Rock's videos until later. It would be helpful if the Rock Clock could send notifications or reminders to check in. The lack of snooze button is helpful to keep you accountable to your wake-up time, although you can choose to cheat the system a bit and set multiple alarms. Also, the light from keeping your phone on to keep the app active may distract you from sleep, as it did for me. There were a couple of times I crashed for the night without remembering to keep the app running on my home screen, so the alarm never went off. bedtime didn't leave me motivated, just grouchy. Having someone yelling at you through your phone at 5 a.m. I wouldn't recommend waking up at Rock Time if you're a night owl like me. To get the full experience of the app, I tried a short-term and a long-term goal, as well as different alarms, each to a unique tone. You can only set one overall goal at a time, but you can set multiple task alarms throughout the day. (I chose to use this feature only once.)Įach day you complete tasks related to your goal, you're rewarded with an exclusive video from the Rock shouting out to users and sending encouraging words to help them continue to crush their goals. on the Thursday to Sunday that I used the app. That meant rising at times between 4-6 a.m. The tones are all created by The Rock, ranging from Johnson repeating "beep beep beep" to his much more soothing rendition of "Good Morning Sunshine." You can also choose to wake up at "Rock Time," which is apparently synced to his daily schedule. Next, you set an alarm to get up or remind you about your goal. You can set a time duration - including "indefinite" - in which to complete your goal. First, you pick a goal from the projects list or come up with your own. The app is all about setting goals, scheduling and achievement. The first release was a gym bag in collaboration with Under Armour. The Rock Clock is a free iOS and Android app meant for motivation and to "get s- done." The app is the second item in Johnson's "Project Rock," a four-part program that aims to help his fans achieve as many goals as possible and "chase greatness" using Rock-branded products. Could The Rock help this night owl become an early bird and get my booty out of bed with a head of steam? Time to find out. His Rock Clock app launched last week, claiming to be the world's most motivational alarm clock. ![]() That said, if there's anyone who could convince me to try something new and keep me committed, it's Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. In my quest to be reminded, I've tried plenty of alarm clocks and to-do list apps, but I always seem to go back to the standard ones that came with my iPhone. I travel a lot for work and struggle to adhere to a schedule, sometimes forgetting simple things like remembering to eat, stretch or drink enough water.
