Molekule has reinvented the air purifier using its groundbreaking PECO technology to safely destroy the widest range of pollutants compared to conventional purifiers. Now, with a refreshed app experience, breathing clean air is even more of a breeze. PROVEN CLEAN AIR Beautiful outside, breakthrough inside, Molekule air purifiers destroy allergens, bacteria, mold, viruses, and airborne chemicals (VOCs), delivering clean air. Molekule’s PECO technology destroys pollutants 1000x smaller than what the traditional HEPA standard tests for. AIR QUALITY SENSING The particle sensors in Air Pro and Air Mini+ help you see your indoor air particle level with a color-coded scale, giving you a window into your air. TAP. SWIPE. BREATHE. The Molekule app connects the Molekule Air, Air Mini, Air Mini+, and Air Pro to the cloud, enabling many great features. RELIABLE CONNECTION The improved experience helps ensure your Molekule air purifier and mobile device stay connected. FILTER STATUS Molekule air purifiers use PECO-Filters to trap large particles and destroy pollutants. The app lets you track your filter’s status, so you know when to replace them. DARK MODE SCHEDULER for Molekule Air For those sensitive to light while sleeping, Dark mode turns off the light in the device. We recommend using this mode only as necessary, since the light enables the PECO-Filter to destroy pollutants. QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK?

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 call

Molekule and Loftie both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 54% of Loftie's written reviews are positive against 17% of Molekule's. Loftie also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Molekule's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (11K vs 1.4K). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
