Loftie earns mixed reviews: it excels at promoting phone-free, gentler sleep with a two-phase alarm, rich white/brown noise, meditations, and a sleek, minimalist design, but reliability issues—missed alarms, freezes, buggy app syncing, and Wi‑Fi dependence—undermine trust. Buyers praise the blackout display, customizable sounds, and lamp’s red light, yet complain about unintuitive UX, inconsistent sound quality, cheap-feeling buttons, and the nightlight’s weak brightness.

The best thing I have ever done for my severe nighttime anxiety. I needed something to help me sleep immediately and not stay on my phone for all hours of the night. The first night with using this product I feel asleep within a few minutes and had the best sleep of the life. There are so many different noises, playlists and meditations. This is my new favorite wind down apparatus.

i LOVEEE my Loftie Lamp! The red light colour makes gives my room so much character and it's been nice to have the lamp wake up with sunrise and different colour. If I could afford, I would buy one for every one of my rooms. so easy to pair with my phone too!

Quick Question about Your Product Page
Hi — I came across your Smart Alarm Clock here on ThingsTested and had a quick question. Are you currently testing or optimizing your product page for conversion (especially for mobile shoppers)? Looking forward to your response Abigail

Loftie has a great ecosystem of products with a potential for some improvement on the app interface side of things. I have had my Loftie lamp and alarm clock for about 1.5 years now and it has become part of my daily routine. I am very happy with the products and they have made mornings - particularly in the winter - much easier. There are buttons on the clock and lamp where you can control some of the settings, however it is much easier to use the app. That being said, I can leave my phone outside of my bedroom to sleep once I have made sure my alarm is set as I can turn the lamp and alarm on/off from the devices. I do not pay for the subscription as I don’t use the storytelling or screen-time feature , so I cannot comment on that aspect, but I do agree with some of the other reviews that the app interface is a bit glitchy and could be improved.

I've been using Loftie's smart alarm clock for almost 5 years and have a lot of good things to say about it, but also quite a few let downs that I experienced in that time. The good: A sleek, minimal design that looks great no matte where I put it still feels pretty fresh today. A lot of great sounds (specifically brown noise) that have been super helpful when the bedroom is too quiet or there's too much noise going on outside of our apartment. The bad: No OLED display, so the screen's edges are clearly visible making the product feel less premium. Many of the sounds included on the device that come from nature often feel annoying and much to repetitive. For instance, the campfire sound has these loud crackling pops that occurring extremely frequently, doesn't seem realistic and not pleasant to listen to. The thunderstorm's thunder is heavily overshadowed by the rain, which wouldn't be terrible in most cases, but the rain has a pretty high/tinny frequency that feels like it'd be better suited for waking up rather than falling asleep. The acrylic body scratches very easily, so there's quite a few markings around it. The most obvious negative I've experienced with this clock is having set alarms not going off in the morning. This has only happened a handful of times for me, but a critical issue nonetheless. Not knowing when I can trust its most basic feature work is never a good thing. So yeah I've had this for a while and it's mostly served me well, but I am going to start looking for a replacement sooner than later.

Love that I can use my Loftie without having to use my phone as an alarm. I was checking my phone constantly at night and would feel anxious with it right next to me when I went to bed. It's easy to use and I love the design (fits perfectly on my night stand).

The sound waves for sleep have been a revelation. The ability to access features through the app sets the Loftie up for future proof success.

I absolutely love my Loftie. It's not only a clock but also my nighttime meditation buddy. I love the soft light and the multiple sound options for sleep. The bluetooth option is a bonus too! The aesthetic is what attracted me to it at first and everyday I can't help but admire it a bit.

Honestly, it's the best/coolest alarm clock I've ever owned. Is it worth the $150 retail price? Uhhh.. no. Absolutely not. I don't think it's even worth the $100 price that I paid for a refurbished one. I honestly don't know how they justify the price tag outside of the vast amount of money they probably spend on marketing. The aesthetics are nice; sleek lines, warm light, and big enough font to read from anywhere (w/ good vision at least). I also like the sounds that it's capable of making; it's what makes this alarm clock stand out above others imo. Although honestly, the only time I use the sounds are when my alarm clock is going off - the two-tier alarm is actually pretty nice - or when I'm going to sleep. The sound of a campfire, or a summer rain, or a breezy field as I'm lying in bed is probably the best part of this thing, even though the process of setting a sleep timer is an annoying nightly chore. Overall it's a very nice alarm clock. Probably not as smart as they make it sound, and although not the best at any one thing, it's a cool package all together. I would be thrilled if I paid $50 for it. For $100 it's a bit of a disappointment. $150 is a scam.
Feedback
A shortcut to setting a sleep timer would be nice, or just an on/off setting that allows you to set your preferred sleep timer duration that turns on when you put a sound on. More alarm sounds, especially since there's a promise of more content that has not arrived in 6 months. The app/software is clunky and prone to bugs.

I recently aquired a Loftie alarm clock. The initial setup was very simple, downloaded the app (which is not necessary for basic use after the setup has been completed) and connected to my Wi-Fi. The modern sleek design not only stands out, but allows the clock to be unobtrusive wherever you use it. It has the option for a 12 or 24 hour display, with an adjustable built-in nightlight on the base. The clockface can also be placed in, and out of, blackout mode at night with the simple push of a button. Multiple alarms can be programmed for single, daily or weekly settings. A multitude of alarm options allows for the gradual increase in sound for the initial and snooze alarms for a calm awakening experience. The snooze alarm can be set for a 3, 6 or 9 minute delay for those days you need a little extra time to wake up. My favorite feature is the ability to pair the clock with my phone and use the clock as a Bluetooth speaker. With a Loftie+ subscription, there are many other features to discover. It would appear that the designers really put a lot of effort into making this the last alarm clock you will purchase. Just buy it!! You won't be sorry!

I love this alarm clock! I have been wanting to stay off my phone in the evenings and sleep with it away from my nightstand, but that's hard to do when I need an alarm clock. I love that this one is an alarm clock and a sound machine! Plus the lighting on it is beautiful. I have it set to turn on at 9pm so when I go into my room for the evening there is relaxing lighting.

The loftie alarm clock is beautiful, sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing! It not only works as an alarm clock but has several functions such as playing white noise, breathing exercises to wind down for the night and wakes you up slowly! It’s so easy to set up and works great with the app! If you’re looking for an aesthetic but functional alarm clock you need a loftie!!

I recently added both the Lottie Lamp and the Lottie Alarm Clock to our household, and they have been absolute game changers for bedtime! As a parent of two small kids, bedtime can often be a chaotic time, but these products have made the process so much smoother for both the grown-ups and the little ones. The Lottie Lamp offers the perfect soft, adjustable lighting that helps create a calm and cozy atmosphere before bed. We love that it’s not too harsh, but bright enough for reading or winding down. The fact that we can control it via the Loftie app is a huge bonus—it allows us to adjust the light from anywhere in the house, making it so convenient when juggling multiple things at once! The Lottie Alarm Clock has been equally amazing. It gently wakes the kids up in the morning with soothing sounds and light, rather than those jarring, traditional alarm sounds. And again, the app comes in handy, allowing us to set wake-up times and customize the sounds effortlessly. Overall, both products have seamlessly integrated into our nighttime and morning routines, making life a little more peaceful for everyone. Highly recommend these for any family looking to improve their daily rhythms!

I was always a phone alarm user. But wanted something to help me stay away from my phone at night with the certainty that I will still wake up on time. Ever since I have been using this Loftie clock I have been more relaxed at the time of going to bed and more rested when I wake up. I would definitely buy the clock again or gift it to someone who loves to relax and have a good sleep

I recently got the Loftie Alarm Clock and love its aesthetic design and wellness features. The two phase alarm gently wakes me up, and the sound quality is excellent. I also appreciate the guided meditations and white noise options. Totally worth it for improving my sleep routine. Highly recommend!

This product have contributed to a much better sleep balance! I have never much liked the traditional alarm clock, as the noise is terrifying in the morning, the light is blinding, and the aesthetic is less than ideal. I don’t like sleeping with my phone by my bed either. This loftie clock has been an amazing find with its relaxing sounds minimal light, and pretty design! Highly recommend if you are in the market!

Just purchased this alarm clock for my husband and he is definitely pleased with it! Not only is it helping him sleep better but it also wakes him up with calming noises and he doesn't have to constantly reach for his iphone. This alarm clock is a total game changer and I am so happy with this purchase! I also love the fact that it offers many different alarm noises, and white noise as well! Highly recommend and could be a great idea for a father's day gift too!

My Loftie died after five weeks and Loftie refused to ship a replacement out to me despite recognising that they had shipped a faulty unit. I had to get my money back via Amazon. Useless company.

The clock arrived and Im so happy! The design is very elegant and classy. Very easy to connect to the app! I love the bluetooth feature, the sounds and music are very clear! I can connect my phone to play music too! Overall, Im so impressed of the device. Love it!

It's an okay clock, but not really worth the money. The nightlight feature is pretty weak and if your wifi goes out, then so does your clock. Additionally, its froze on us a few times which is really annoying. The best feature is having the sound machine function.
