You can tell it’s made by a company that specializes in baby products. Hatch Restore has a soft, rounded appearance. Loftie cannot be customized as much, but it has wellness content (like breathing exercises and stories) available without an additional fee.īoth devices have stylish designs, but the esthetics are very different. The only downside is that a paid subscription is required to access all of the features. Hatch Restore lets you customize everything - the steps in your bedtime routine, light color, brightness of clock display, different alarm times for different days, etc. Unfortunately, this feature cannot be adjusted or customized. Loftie also has a two-phase alarm, which begins with a 30 second alarm to nudge you, and then concludes with a louder alarm 9 minutes later to force you out of bed. But Loftie is far superior here because it takes only one touch to enter/exit the blackout mode. We appreciate that both Loftie and Hatch have a “blackout mode” where the device emits no light. This is true even in high-end alarms that are packed with features, For sensitive sleepers, even a little light from the digital clock can be aggravating. In many of the alarms we have tested, there is no way to force the machine to stop emitting light. But this also means that, if you want to check the time in the middle of the night, the app is required to turn the clock display back on. To turn off all lights on the Hatch, the clock display must be dimmed to zero via the app. In blackout mode, all lights on the device turn off, including the clock. Loftie has a “blackout mode” which is easy to activate. So, neither of these devices will be much benefit in the event of a power outage.

Hatch has no battery backup, but it will save settings for whenever the power returns.

However, the device is entirely dependent on WiFi, so a power loss may cause a missed wake-up regardless. Loftie has a backup battery to withstand brief power outages, which is a big benefit. So we like that the device is not dependent on an app. Loftie markets itself as a product that allows you to go phone-free in the bedroom. But almost everything can be controlled from the physical buttons on the device.

Loftie has an app that is needed for setup, and can be used to access many features. The Hatch app provides more customization and options, but the Loftie scores points for being fully-functional without requiring the app. The Loftie is an alarm clock that includes a noise machine, night light, and wellness content, but is not a sunrise alarm. The Restore is a sunrise alarm with a sound machine, lamp, traditional alarm clock, and meditation app included. If you want a simpler device that is less dependent on an app, Loftie is a solid choice that still includes great features. If you want a sunrise alarm with a lot of extras, the Hatch Restore is a great option. Although Loftie is less customizable, it is easier to control the device without the app, and there is no paid subscription to worry about. The Loftie Smart Alarm Clock includes a traditional alarm clock, sound machine, and night light.
