Restore 2 is a bedside device that combines a sunrise alarm, a reading light and a sound library, aimed at people who use a phone as an alarm clock and pay for it with scrolling. Light warms gradually before the alarm, the screen can be blacked out completely, and sound routines are built in the app: wind down, sleep sounds, morning. The hardware sits near two hundred dollars, and the full content library belongs to the Hatch+ subscription, billed monthly or yearly.
It earns its place for anyone rebuilding an evening routine rather than simply masking noise, and the touch controls work half asleep. As a pure noise machine it is expensive and dependent on Wi-Fi, an account and a phone for setup. Households that dislike subscriptions or keep the bedroom offline will find a simpler machine does the masking job for a quarter of the price.
