Klever Klox V2 · available now
Everything your
phone did at
the bedside.
Dawn light instead of a jolt, your own music instead of a ringtone, and a colour screen you can read at a glance in the dark. No feed, no notifications, no reason to reach for anything else. Printed and built to order.

We built this because we wanted our phones out of our bedrooms and could not do it — the alarm kept dragging them back. So the brief was simple: be a better alarm than a phone, and do nothing else. Light half an hour before the sound, your own music when it comes, and not one thing on it that can interrupt you.
01 — lighting
Woken by light, not startled by sound.
RGB LEDs build the room from a deep red through amber to gold before a single note plays, so your body has time to surface. The full spectrum is available — pick any hue and any brightness from the knob, or from the web page, or switch the light off entirely and keep just the sound.
- Full RGB, adjustable hue and brightness
- Gradual build-up before the alarm sounds
- Independent of the display — bright light, dark screen, or either alone
16 million colours · fully dimmable · off is a colour too
02 — audio
Your music,
stored on the clock.
Load MP3s onto the 4 GB micro SD card in the back — a song, a podcast intro, a field recording, whatever gets you out of bed. It plays from the card, not from a streaming account, so there is nothing to unlock and nothing to buffer. Each alarm keeps its own track, volume and days.
- Any MP3, added by dragging it onto the card
- Per-alarm track, volume and weekday schedule
- Built-in speaker — nothing else to plug in
03 — display & controls
Readable at 3am. Dark when you want it.
A 128 × 160 full-colour LCD shows the time, the date, which alarms are armed and what you are editing — so the 4am time check is a glance across the room, not a lock screen in the face. Brightness is adjustable, and one press turns the screen off completely while everything keeps running behind it. Four buttons and a rotary knob handle the rest: no app, no account, no phone.
- Five modes: Time, Alarm, LED, Song, Settings
- Rotary encoder for values, four buttons for everything else
- Screen off, alarms still armed
04 — connected
Sets itself. Updates itself.
On WiFi the clock fetches the time from the network, so it is never slow, never fast, and never needs setting after a power cut. Open its address in a browser and the same settings appear as a web page — easier than a knob when you are adding five alarms at once. It is a convenience, not a requirement: the clock is fully configurable on its own, and it never needs a phone in the room to run.
It also checks for new firmware on its own and installs it, verifying the download before it swaps over. An interrupted update cannot brick it: the clock simply starts on the version it already had.
