“The app feels silly,” another tester said. The app itself isn’t very useful once your device is set up.Though the setup should be straightforward, it took me two attempts to get things up and running and the majority of testers agreed that setup was more time-consuming and complicated than expected. While there’s a lot about Loftie that I liked, I’ll admit that there’s room for improvement. What we don't like about the Loftie alarm clock “The dimmable night-light setting at the base is both cute and practical for transitioning into bedtime,” one tester said. The big button, which is the same as the snooze button, makes it extremely intuitive to turn the light on when I need it, and I can say the same about turning off the screen entirely when I want it to go into blackout mode. Though you’d need more light for journaling or reading a book, Loftie really nailed it when it came to creating the perfect glow – it’s just enough illumination to get me to the bathroom safely, or to crawl my way into bed without waking up my partner. My favorite feature of all has to be the built-in night light. “This has made a tremendous difference in easing me into sleep.” There’s even a signal you can set to remind you when it’s time for bed, which is particularly useful if you’ve put your phone away for the night and have lost track of time. “I live in a New York City apartment with extremely noisy neighbors (that includes heavy footsteps and loud thuds),” one tester said. While Loftie doesn’t necessarily help me sleep better, I find myself looking forward to falling asleep to its various nature sounds and different noises, from white noise to pink noise and red noise. Plus, the snooze button is conveniently easy to hit. Mornings with Loftie are like waking up to the sun shining and birds chirping. Since using Loftie, I’ll admit that I haven’t missed the feeling of being ripped out of a dream by a ruthless alarm. Olivia Lipski / Good Housekeeping Institute

Since you technically don’t need to rely on your smartphone’s alarm, there’s no reason to have your phone by your side along with the temptation to scroll through Instagram or check emails before bed.Īnd, of course, Loftie just looks good. It's been getting a lot of attention on TikTok and Instagram as a relatively painless way of signing off at nighttime to set some digital boundaries.
