Loftie Clock: Gentle Wake-Up and Wellness Features

The standard Loftie Clock is crafted to help you wind down, sleep more deeply, and wake up feeling refreshed.

  • Offers wellness content such as breathwork, sound baths, and guided meditation.
  • Functions as a Bluetooth speaker for your personal music or audio.
  • Customizable alarm tone, volume, and day-of-week settings let you tailor your wake-up experience.
The clock measures 6.5” W x 2.75” D x 2.75” H and weighs 1.8 pounds, with a durable polycarbonate shell and steel top grill. It requires a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection and uses a USB-C power adapter. Available in a wide range of colors including Black, White, Cherry, Denim, Coffee, Peach, Lavender, and Red Shell.
