I’ve been using the Loftie Smart Alarm Clock for a month now, and it’s completely transformed my mornings. The two-phase alarm gently eases me awake—first with soft chimes, then a fuller sound. No more jarring buzzers!

The built-in sound machine is a dream. I fall asleep to rain sounds or guided meditations, and the nightlight is just bright enough to navigate my room without being disruptive. Plus, keeping my phone out of the bedroom has cured my late-night scrolling habit.

Setup was a breeze via the app, though I wish there was a manual option. Once configured, I switched to offline mode—no more Wi-Fi dependency. The Bluetooth speaker is crisp for bedtime podcasts, though I mostly use the free library of 100+ sounds.

Minor gripes? The auto-brightness can be finicky, and the display isn’t luxurious. But for $150, the sleep quality upgrade is worth it. Just set a backup phone alarm until you trust the system—mine’s been flawless, but reviews vary.
