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. Meet Henry. Tell him what's on your mind, a to-do, a 2am idea, your frequent flyer number, and he keeps it, sorts it and reminds you when it matters, so it stops pulling you back to your phone. Henry runs on Claude, by Anthropic. He's free while we build him with you. Less phone, built in: • 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. Block distracting apps automatically around your sleep and wake times, in three phases: Relax, Sleep and Rise. • The Loftie Card. A wallet-sized card that blocks your apps with one tap to your phone, wherever you are. • A calmer home screen. The Loftie Clock + Henry widget, and Flip: a plain list of only the apps you need. • Your rules. Choose exactly which apps and websites go quiet and which stay open, like calls, maps and music. For 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 Works with a Loftie Clock or Loftie Lamp; Drift needs a Loftie Clock.
