Break up with your smartphone at night. Loftie is the alarm clock that gets your phone out of the bedroom. The app sets up your Loftie Clock or Lamp, then gets out of the way: alarms, sounds, the sunrise light and wind-down routines, from your phone when you want them and from the clock when you don't. Loftie+ is the part of your day where the phone stays quiet: • Drift. Your phone senses your Loftie Clock nearby and puts your chosen apps to sleep the moment you walk into the bedroom. Walk out in the morning and they wake up with you. • Rest schedule. Block distracting apps automatically around your sleep and wake times, in three phases: Rest, Sleep and Rise. No willpower required. • The Loftie Card. A wallet-sized card that blocks your apps with one tap to your phone, wherever you are. Included with Loftie+. • Your rules. Choose exactly which apps and websites go quiet and which stay open, like calls, maps and music. • Beyond the phone. Block distractions on your laptop with the Loftie browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Safari, and swap your home screen's app grid for a calmer Loftie widget. Free with your Loftie: • Alarms, sounds, the sunrise light and red mode on your clock, set from anywhere in the house • Hundreds of sounds, stories, meditations and breathwork for your clock's library • Wind-down routines for the clock and the lamp The app is free. Loftie+ is an optional subscription. Works with a Loftie Clock or Loftie Lamp; Drift needs a Loftie Clock.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Eight Sleep at 4.8 against Loftie's 4.3. Eight Sleep also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (17K vs 1.4K). Loftie's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 27%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Eight Sleep sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month and Loftie sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Eight Sleep holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eight Sleep has 17K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Eight Sleep's written reviews are positive against 54% of Loftie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Eight Sleep ships an update every 4 days, Loftie every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
