While some people wake up at the smallest sound, others find it more difficult to reach full consciousness. For those of us who reach this level of complete relaxation, even a blaring alarm clock may not be enough. If you often sleep through your alarm, it might be time to upgrade. As the name suggests, Forte offers tough love. When it’s time to wake up, this beast will crank up the noise.
In recent years, alarm clocks have become much smarter. Some use light to nudge your brain into action. Others take away the snooze button.
Forte takes a far simpler approach. This extra-loud alarm clock makes it almost impossible to keep on sleeping — however much you want to stay put.
You will struggle to sleep through Forte’s alarm
The clock lets you choose from six different alarm sounds and five levels of loudness. The nine-inch screen is easy to read, even with blurry eyes, and you control the clock using simple buttons.
No touchscreen, only buttons
Unlike many smart alarms, this clock doesn’t need charging. You simply plug it into the wall and go. As a result, you won’t miss an alarm because you forgot to charge your clock or phone.
The smart features don’t end there. Forte works in ten different languages, and the auto-dimming feature ensures you won’t be kept awake by ambient light. Forte also comes with an adjustable stand, meaning you can find the perfect angle for viewing.
Forte offers loads of options
Ever set your alarm for the wrong day or the wrong time? Forte has you covered. The clock’s countdown feature shows you how long it’ll be until the alarm next sounds — great when you have important plans.
You can angle Forte how you like
With a maximum volume of 100dB, Forte is great for heavy sleepers and people with hearing problems. Even if you don’t need the full volume, it makes a great addition to any nightstand.
“At Forte, we believe a reliable alarm clock should behave like a mission critical device, always on and always available. Forte is bursting with modern day functionalities, including customizable timer settings, a seamless navigation system, and ten easy to remember icons.” — Screaming Meanie on Kickstarter
Upgrade your nightstand with Forte
While many smart alarms are quite complicated, Forte provides a simple solution to an age-old problem. The clock is easy to use, packed with great features, and loud enough to wake the dead!
Forte is currently available in a clean white finish. But if this Kickstarter does well, we may see other colors made available.
