The Habity Bedside Clock Nudges Users Away from Smartphones

The Habity bedside clock is a balanced piece of technology engineered for the bedroom that's focused on a friendly and focused functionality to help users disconnect from their smartphone in the night.

The clock puts an e-paper display in focus that's eye-friendly and is complemented by a warm glowing nightlight below. The offline device offers access to a sleep sound library that includes rain, campfire, city street sounds and more, which are supported by a wind-down reminder to help a user know when it's time to log off. The aforementioned nightlight also works as a sunrise-style light to brighten the room prior to alarms for a gentler wakeup experience.

The Habity bedside clock is USB-C-powered and has a built-in battery for backups during power outages.
