3.2. Alarms

The Loftie Alarm Clock utilizes a two-phase alarm system for a gentle wake-up experience:

• Phase 1 (Gentle Chime): A soft, soothing sound begins to gently rouse you from sleep.
• Phase 2 (Louder Tone): After a set interval, a louder, more persistent tone activates to ensure you are fully awake.

You can adjust the alarm volume, display brightness, and select from various alarm sounds directly on the clock or through the Loftie app. The Blackout Mode feature allows the screen and light to remain off while the alarm functions normally, ideal for those who prefer a completely dark room.
