You can use the Hatch Sleep app without WiFi. However, WiFi is required for the initial setup of the app. Once you have completed the setup process and saved your bedtime content, it can continue to run on your Hatch Rest device without the need for a WiFi connection.
This means that even if you don’t have access to WiFi or if your WiFi network goes down, your Hatch Rest will still function and play your saved bedtime content as scheduled. So, you can rest assured that your sleep routine will not be disrupted even without an active WiFi connection.
It’s worth mentioning that while the Hatch Sleep app requires WiFi for setup, the Hatch Rest device itself does not rely on a constant WiFi connection to operate. This is particularly useful if you plan to use the Hatch Rest in areas where WiFi may be limited or unavailable.
I personally have used the Hatch Rest without WiFi when traveling or during temporary WiFi outages, and it has worked seamlessly. The device has its own internal memory to store your saved bedtime content, ensuring that it can continue to function independently.
To summarize, while WiFi is necessary for the initial setup of the Hatch Sleep app, the Hatch Rest device can operate without a WiFi connection once the setup is complete. This allows you to enjoy the benefits of the Hatch Rest and stick to your sleep routine even when WiFi is not available.
