    Hatch Sleep Clock Alternative (2026): Contactless Picks and Restore 3 Options

    Founder, Komori Care

    Hatch sells two nightstand clocks that look related and do different jobs. Restore 3 is a routine and sunrise clock. Sleep Clock adds contactless tracking. If you landed here because Restore 3 has no sleep data, or because Sleep Clock only follows one person, here are the other shelves.

    Disclosure: I am Dovy, founder of Komori Care. We are building a contactless bedside sleep monitor, coming 2027, wellness only.

    Quick answer

    • Hatch's own support page says Restore 3 does not track sleep. Hatch Sleep Clock does, from the nightstand, and Hatch lists sleep tracking with no subscription required to access the data. The how it works page says it reads breathing, movement and presence. A separate Hatch article says the motion sensor is designed to track one primary sleeper.
    • Want bedside radar with more room data: Sleepal AI Lamp, $399 as listed in Tom's Guide in October 2026. We could not open Sleepal's compare page, so treat $399 as the Tom's Guide figure and check the cart before you buy.
    • Want nothing on the nightstand: Withings Sleep Analyzer under the mattress, $199.95 as listed on Withings in October 2026, or OZI under the sheet, $199 as listed on ozisleep.com in October 2026, with no subscription and no camera or mic.
    • Want free and phone-only: OpenSleep (open source, on-device, no account).
    • Komori Care (coming 2027, wellness only): bedside 60GHz radar with no camera and no screen or light at the bedside, designed for a back/side/stomach position timeline, not a sunrise alarm.

    If Apple already pulled a strip sensor you liked, see Beddit alternatives. If the lamp price is the question, see whether the Sleepal AI Lamp is worth it. If the phone on the mattress is the problem, see Sleep Cycle alternatives without a phone on the bed.

    Hatch Restore 3 vs Sleep Clock

    Hatch's comparison table is blunt. Restore 3: no sleep tracking. Sleep Clock: sleep tracking, insights and personalized recommendations, and "No subscription required to access sleep data and details." Both have a sunrise alarm. Hatch lists Restore 3 at $169 and Sleep Clock at $249 on that support page. The product page lists Sleep Clock at $249.99 and includes 30 days of Hatch+.

    If you already own Restore 3 and only wanted a clock plus sound, you do not need to swap it. If tracking is the job, Restore 3 is the wrong SKU.

    Sleepal AI Lamp

    Bedside lamp with 60GHz radar. Tom's Guide lists $399, with basic tracking free and optional AI+ at $5.99 a month or $69.99 a year after a free month. It is a lamp with a sunrise, so it still lights the nightstand. Different job than a dark sensor.

    Withings and OZI

    If you do not want another object on the nightstand, put the sensor in the bed. Withings slides under the mattress and says your sleep history stays free; Withings+ is optional at $9.95 a month or $99.50 a year as listed in October 2026. OZI sits under the sheet, $199, no monthly fee, no camera or mic.

    Phone apps

    OpenSleep tracks on the phone, on-device, with no account. Sleep tracking is free. You still put a phone on the nightstand or the mattress. Stages are estimates.

    Komori Care (coming 2027)

    Komori Care does a different job. It is a wellness sleep monitor with 60GHz radar above or beside the bed, nothing to wear, and a planned back, side and stomach position timeline. No camera is required. It has no screen or light at the bedside, so it is not a sunrise alarm. It is coming in 2027 (Kickstarter).

    FAQ

    Does the Hatch Restore 3 track sleep? No. Hatch's Sleep Clock or Restore 3 page marks sleep tracking on Sleep Clock only. If tracking is the goal, look at Sleep Clock or one of the picks above.

    Does the Hatch Sleep Clock need a subscription? Hatch's product page says "Sleep tracking included, no subscription required." The same Hatch support table says no subscription is required to access sleep data. Hatch+ audio is listed as 30 days included. That is Hatch's wording, not a promise about later plans.

    Can the Sleep Clock track two people? Hatch says it was designed as a personal use device and "the motion sensor is designed to track one primary sleeper." See sleep trackers for couples.

    What is a free Hatch alternative? Phone apps such as OpenSleep. Honest tradeoff: a phone on the nightstand, and rougher stages than a dedicated sensor.

    Does Komori Care have a sunrise alarm? No. Komori Care (coming 2027, wellness only) has no screen or light at the bedside. It is not a sunrise alarm.
