A wake-up call service built for 2026, not 2005
Snoozester has been around for years. Reveille is what a wake-up call service looks like when you build it with modern AI, calendar sync, and actual context about your day.
The Problem
Where Snoozester falls short
Dated technology
Snoozester's tech hasn't changed much since launch. Basic robocalls with no personalisation or context about what's actually on your schedule.
Reliability complaints
Search any review site and you'll find reports of missed calls, wrong times, and calls that never arrive. When your morning depends on it, that's a problem.
No calendar awareness
Snoozester doesn't know what's on your calendar. It rings at a fixed time, whether you have a 7am meeting or not.
A Better Way
How Reveille works differently
Reveille syncs with your Google Calendar and calls you before each meeting with an AI-generated spoken briefing. You hear who you're meeting, what it's about, and how to join.
Calendar-driven
Calls are triggered by your actual meetings, not a manual schedule.
AI briefings
Each call includes a spoken summary with attendees, context, and meeting links.
Never miss info
If you don't answer, you get a voicemail and a text with the same briefing.

FAQ
Comparing wake-up call services
Why is Reveille more expensive than Snoozester?
Snoozester makes a basic robocall. Reveille syncs your calendar, generates a personalised AI briefing for every meeting, calls you, and sends a text if you miss it. It's a different kind of service — more like a personal assistant than an alarm clock.
Can I use Reveille just as a morning alarm?
Reveille calls you before calendar events, not at a fixed time. If you add a recurring "Wake up" event to your Google Calendar, it'll call you then. But it's really designed to brief you before meetings.
What if I don't have many meetings?
If you only have a few meetings a week, Reveille might be more than you need. It works best for people with 3+ meetings a day who want to walk in prepared.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new account gets 7 days of full access, no credit card required to start.
Does Reveille work with Outlook or Apple Calendar?
Not yet — currently Google Calendar only. We're looking at other providers.
