Hatch makes some of the most popular sunrise alarm clocks and sound machines on the market. Restore 3 ($169.99) is the sweet spot for adults, with gentle light, dozens of sounds and buttons that mean you no longer need your phone at bedtime. Hatch Baby and Hatch Go cover the nursery. The Hatch+ subscription is optional and mainly adds more audio content.
What we like
- Restore 3 works with physical buttons, so the phone can stay out of the bedroom
- Gradual sunrise and sunset light plus 60-plus sleep sounds
- Clear product split between adult, baby and travel devices
- Core features, including sunrise alarms, work without a subscription
- 30-day trial and one-year warranty on Restore 3
Keep in mind
- Hatch+ is needed for the larger sound library and longer routines
- The Hatch Sleep Clock is a big step up in price
- App is still needed for setup and personalization
- Light is gentle rather than bright, so not a substitute for light therapy lamps
Hatch started in the nursery, with sound machines and night lights that helped babies and toddlers learn when to sleep and when to get up. It then brought the same idea to adults with Restore, a bedside clock that combines a sunrise alarm, soothing sounds and guided wind-down routines.
In 2026 the adult range centers on Restore 3 and the Hatch Sleep Clock, while Hatch Baby and Hatch Go cover younger sleepers. Here is what each device does and how to decide between them. One note: Hatch is not connected to HATCH Collection, a maternity clothing brand with a similar name.
Restore 3: the core adult device
Restore 3 ($169.99) is a smart sleep clock designed to keep the phone out of your bedtime routine. It simulates sunset to help you wind down and sunrise to wake you gradually with warm light, and it plays more than 60 sleep sounds, from household noise and nature to travel-inspired soundscapes.
Its biggest change from Restore 2 is phone-free control. Buttons on the clock face handle the essentials: a large button to snooze or stop the alarm, a swap button to change wind-down routines, a pause button and a light button. A Sleep Persona Quiz in the app suggests light and audio routines when you first set it up.
What you get free
- Basic sleep, unwind and alarm sounds
- Sunrise alarms, cue lights and unwind light pairings
- Tap for Time, Rest Reminder, Goodnight Phone and a bedside light button
- Routine Swap with up to three routines (one step each)
Hatch Sleep Clock: adding sleep tracking
The Hatch Sleep Clock ($249.99) is aimed at people who want feedback on their sleep without wearing anything. Hatch describes it as a sleep tracker that does not believe in scores: it uses contactless tracking from the nightstand, learns your sleep patterns and offers personalized recommendations, with no ring or wristband to charge.
If you already own a smart ring or watch, Restore 3 is the better value. If you want light, sound and tracking in one bedside device, the Sleep Clock is the more complete option.

For babies and kids
- Hatch Baby ($89.99): a sound machine and night light designed for round-the-clock baby sleep support, controlled from a parent's phone.
- Hatch Go ($39.99): a compact, portable sound machine for strollers, car seats and travel.
- Hatch Baby + Hatch Go bundle: listed at $119.98, down from $129.98, at the time of our research.
For older toddlers, the color-cue light is the useful feature: a set color can signal that it is still sleep time and another that it is okay to get up. Replacement power cords for Restore 3 ($16.99) and Hatch Baby ($15.99) are sold separately.
Setting up a phone-free routine
The real value of Restore 3 comes from using it consistently. A simple setup works best:
- Choose a wind-down time and let the Rest Reminder prompt you, ideally 30 to 60 minutes before you want to be asleep.
- Build one routine: a dimming warm light and a calm sound or short meditation, ending in darkness or a soft sleep sound.
- Charge your phone outside the bedroom. Goodnight Phone is designed for exactly this, and the clock-face buttons mean you will not need the app at night.
- Set a sunrise alarm that begins brightening before your wake time, with a gentle sound at the end.
- Keep it consistent on weekends, even if you allow yourself a little extra time.
After two or three weeks, review what is working. If you want more variety, that is the moment to consider Hatch+, rather than paying for it from day one.
Pricing, Hatch+ and policies
Hatch prices are clear and published: $39.99 for Hatch Go, $89.99 for Hatch Baby, $169.99 for Restore 3 and $249.99 for the Hatch Sleep Clock. Restore 3 launched at the same price as the Restore 2 it replaced. Purchases of Restore 3 have included free delivery, a 30-day trial and a one-year warranty.
Is Hatch+ worth it?
Hatch+ is an optional subscription, reported at $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year. It unlocks a much larger library of sleep, unwind and alarm sounds, including featured, nature and music options, plus Hatch's original audio such as sound baths, meditations, sleep stories and podcasts. It also enables longer routines of up to five steps and, on iPhone, Play From Anywhere.
Our advice is to use the free features for a few weeks first. Many people settle on one sound and one sunrise routine and never need more. If you find yourself wanting variety or guided content, the annual plan is the better deal.
Who Hatch suits
Hatch is ideal for people who reach for their phone in bed, struggle with harsh alarm sounds or want a calmer bedtime routine. Parents get a well-supported ecosystem for nursery and travel. It is less suitable if you need a bright light therapy lamp for winter mornings, since Restore's light is designed to be soft. Loftie is the main alternative if you prefer a separate clock and lamp with a two-phase alarm.
Our verdict
Hatch earns its popularity with well-designed devices and a Restore 3 that genuinely works without a phone. Start with the free features, add Hatch+ only if you want more content, and choose the Sleep Clock only if contactless tracking is a priority.
