Clock - Other Features
Drift
Drift is the Loftie Clock's proximity app blocking. Your Clock sends a low-energy Bluetooth signal, and when the Loftie app sees you're in range it locks the apps you've chosen. Walk into the bedroom and your phone is already quiet; walk out and your apps come back. You decide what gets blocked, so essentials like calls and maps can stay available.
Turning Drift on
- Update your Clock to the latest version (Drift needs it) and make sure it's online.
- In the Loftie app, open app blocking and tap the Drift tile.
- Tap Choose apps to block and pick the apps and categories you want to go quiet.
- Set your Drift radius: how far from your Clock the blocking should reach.
- Allow the permissions the app asks for. On iPhone, Drift needs Bluetooth and Location set to Always so it can find your Clock while your phone is locked, plus Screen Time access to block apps. On Android, set Location to Allow all the time and enable the Accessibility permission for Loftie.
Editing your blocked apps pauses Drift briefly; blocking resumes on its own when you're near your Loftie, and re-blocking can take up to a minute. To pause Drift, use the unlock option in the app, or switch it off from the Drift tile.
Sleep Timer
The Sleep Timer allows you to play content or sound and have it stop after a set time. This is ideal for folks who don’t want their sounds playing all night after they’ve drifted off to Slumberland.
To enable the Sleep Timer, on the Loftie use the arrow buttons to go to SETTINGS and scroll down to SLEEP TIMER. Press the small circular button to enter and select your duration. The Loftie’s sounds will stop after that set time.
Nightlight
Who doesn’t love a nightlight? The nightlight can be turned on and off by pressing the oval snooze button and it’s brightness can be adjusted in the app or on the Loftie itself (go to SETTINGS > NIGHTLIGHT).
Volume Shortcut
Pro-tip! Hold the left arrow button on the top of Loftie to quickly adjust the volume level for the sounds. It is also available under SETTINGS > VOLUME. (note: this does not adjust the Alarm volume)
To adjust the Alarm volume, on your Loftie go to ALARMS > SETTINGS > VOLUME.
Blackout Mode
Not a fan of stray light when you’re trying to sleep? Neither are we, that’s why we came up with Blackout mode for Loftie! Simply press and hold the oval snooze button and the clock face will black out completely—perfect for light-sensitive sleepers.
Offline Mode
Need your Loftie Clock to function without Wi-Fi? We’ve got you covered. Once your clock is set up and updated with the correct time, you can turn on Offline Mode for full functionality offline.
Simply go to Settings, select Offline Mode, and choose Offline—easy as that!
This way, your alarms and clock will work perfectly without a Wi-Fi connection.
Mute Alarms
Want to mute your alarms for the day? It’s quick and easy with Loftie.

Perfect for those mornings when you need a little extra rest.
How to Restart your Loftie
