Leave the tab open
0 keystrokes now
- Gone at the next restart
- Carries no time — it cannot tell you when
- One of thirty by Thursday
- You are still the one doing the remembering
Snooze a tab in one keystroke, then close it. At the moment you asked for, the reminder opens that exact page again on its own — at the spot you stopped reading.
01 The problem
So the strip fills with decisions you meant to come back to, and the only thing left telling you which one matters today is you.
You leave the tab open
And it works — right up until it does not.
The open tab has one real advantage: it is already there, and it cost you nothing. What it never learned is when. By Thursday it is background noise among thirty others, and it says nothing about the deadline that made you keep it.
You bookmark the page
And forget it exists in a crowded bookmark folder.
Bookmarks store a web address, but not a time. You end up with hundreds of saved links that you never open again.
You set a phone reminder
And the alert pops up on the wrong device.
An alert on your phone forces you to stop what you are doing, go back to your computer, and search for the webpage again.
You try to remember it in your head
And you forget until it is too late.
Presale tickets sell out, bills become overdue, or deadlines pass because life gets busy.
02 The whole thing
Scroll, and the browser below does what it would do. The two beats that matter most are the ones where you are not there.
01 Discover
A presale, a restock, a deadline halfway down an email. Right now you are in the middle of something else — and this is not the moment to deal with it.
02 Capture
The page you are on is filed at your usual time. No window, nothing to type, no decision to make. The only thing that moves is the badge on the toolbar icon.
03 Forget
This is the step doing the work. There is no list to maintain and nothing to check back on, so forgetting is not a risk here — it is the intended outcome.
04 Elsewhere
You are reading something else, on another day, with no memory of this at all. You did nothing to keep it alive. Nothing was asked of you.
05 Return
The tab comes back on its own — the exact URL, at the spot you had scrolled to, three weeks after you closed it. It opens quietly behind what you are doing, with a notification beside it carrying the title and whatever note you left.
There is more than one way in, and one of them reads the date off the page — all four are below.
03 The trade
Latr is not competing with another reminder app. It is competing with the tab you already have open, whose one real advantage is that it cost you nothing. So the comparison is not a feature list — it is how much work each one asks of you now, and every day after.

1 keystroke, once
That is the whole trade. Everything below this line is worth nothing to someone who could not be bothered to press the key.
04 Ways in
They all end at the same reminder. The difference is only how much you want to say about it before you get on with your day.
Saves the page you are on at your usual time. No window opens and there is nothing to type.
Opens the form below — already filled in. This is the one for when the default is not the time you want.
Highlight “next Friday at 9am” on the page and Latr reads the time straight out of it. The same menu has one-tap presets.
rem Type rem, then a phrase — rem next tuesday 5pm. It searches what you have already saved, too.
Open the popup instead and you get the same save with every decision available — already answered, so you only touch the ones you disagree with. Nothing here is a required step; it is the same reminder, with more said about it.
The composer is deliberately collapsed behind a single button, and More holds the fields a minority of saves need. That is what keeps your upcoming list above the fold in a popup Chrome will not let grow past 600px.
05 Depth
Four of these are worth seeing. The rest exist because the alternative was annoying, and none of them are here to fill out a comparison table.
01 When
tomorrow at 3pm in 2 hours every weekday at 9:30 — Latr reads the phrase and shows you the date it landed on before you save, so there is nothing to confirm and no picker to fight.
The parser ships in nine languages, and it is the same nine the interface is translated into — a placeholder promising input the parser cannot read would be worse than no translation at all.
02 Calendar
The queue answers “what is next”. The month answers “what does my September look like” — overdue, repeating and pinned reminders on one grid, in a full tab rather than in a 384-pixel popup.
And any single reminder can leave for a real calendar in one click: Google, Outlook, or an .ics file — which is how a reminder reaches a phone at all, since there are no extensions on mobile.
03 Quiet hours
Set the hours you do not want to hear from it and anything due inside them waits at the edge of the window instead of waking you. It is held, never dropped — and never delivered early to get it out of the way.
Windows chain, so a night ending at 07:00 beside a block starting at 07:00 is one hold rather than two. A set that covers the whole day delivers now: a reminder arriving at an awkward moment is a nuisance, one that never arrives is the product failing.
04 Where you stopped
Three weeks later the article comes back at the paragraph you were on, not at the headline. A tab is a page, an intention and a position — and coming back to the top of something you were two thirds through is starting it again.
It works by storing the line of text at the top of your window and reopening with it as a text fragment, so the browser does the scrolling during a navigation Latr was making anyway. That is why it needs no extra permission, and why it beats remembering a pixel offset — the page has reflowed by the time the reminder fires.
And the rest
Four ways to save a page, the fastest of which involves no UI at all.
Repeats that follow working days and real month ends.
A repeat can be pinned to the clock it was set on.
A reminder can be marked done without being deleted.
A second reminder, declared on the first and created when you finish it.
A line of your own, carried to the moment the reminder arrives.
A one-click handoff to Google Calendar, Outlook or an .ics file.
One box over every reminder and every action.
The interface and the “when” field, translated together.
Reminders on your other computers, with no account of ours.
Two ways to group reminders, because they answer different questions.
A default that applies to one domain.
06 In practice
Upcoming 6
07 Privacy
This is not a policy promise, it is the architecture: Latr has no server and no account, so there is nowhere for your reminders to go.
08 Pricing
Saving a page and being reminded on it never costs anything, and never will. Pro adds depth for people who live in it.
$0 forever
A complete reminder app, not a trial of one. Everything that makes a reminder arrive is free and stays free — there is no cap on reminders and no feature that expires.
$19 one-time, yours forever
Make it yours, and give it room. Pro is the look, the sound and the ceilings — never the reminder itself, which works the same on both plans.
One payment, not a subscription. Latr has no running costs, so charging rent for it would be hard to justify. You get a licence key by email; paste it into Settings → Latr Pro.
09 Questions
Something else? Ask directly — it reaches a person, usually within a day.
Latr shipped in 2026 and has no testimonials yet. When it has earned some, they will go here — tell us how it went.
One keystroke. Pressing Alt+Shift+Y saves the page you are on at your default time — no popup opens, and there is nothing to type. If you want to pick a different time, the toolbar popup opens with the page title and a sensible default time already filled in, so it is still one click to save. This is deliberate: Latr is competing with leaving the tab open, and saving has to be less work than not saving.
No. There is no sign-up, no login and no server. Latr stores your reminders in your own browser, and a free install makes no network requests at all — so there is no account to create, nothing to be logged out of, and no service that can shut down and take your reminders with it.
Yes — that is the whole mechanic. One keystroke files the tab you are on, so you can close it, and at the time you chose the tab reopens on its own, quietly in the background, at the exact spot you stopped reading. You get a notification too, but you do not have to catch it. Seven snooze lengths are built in (+15 minutes through to this weekend), two of them sit on the notification itself so pushing something further is one click, and anything outside the presets is typed in plain words. Unlike a snooze that holds the tab open, Latr stores the address and the time as a record, so quitting or restarting the browser changes nothing.
Your tab reopens as soon as you next open your browser, and the notification says it arrived late rather than turning up with no explanation. The honest limit is that Latr lives in your browser, so a reminder cannot fire while the browser is shut. For anything you genuinely cannot miss, hand it to Google Calendar or Outlook when you save it — one click, and your phone rings whether the laptop is open or not.
Yes, and it is architecture rather than policy. There is no account and no server of ours, so your reminders sit in your own browser’s storage and there is nowhere else for them to go. The only network request Latr can ever make is verifying a Pro licence key, and a free install never makes it.
No, and no extension does — mobile browsers have no extensions to install. What Latr can do is hand a reminder to Google Calendar, Outlook or an .ics file in one click, and your phone already knows how to ring for those.
Chrome, Firefox and Edge have their own listings. Brave, Vivaldi, Arc and Opera all install the Chrome build straight from the Chrome Web Store and behave identically — they are Chromium underneath.
Latr runs locally on your machine, so there are no server costs to maintain. Everything that makes a reminder fire, arrive, repeat, snooze, sync or export is free, and is meant to stay that way. Pro is themes, notification sounds, and higher limits on folders and templates — none of which decide whether a reminder goes off.
Chrome shows you no permission warning at all when you install Latr, which is unusual for this category — most tab managers ask to read your browsing history, because they need access to every tab at once. Latr asks for storage (to save your reminders), alarms (to fire them on time) and active-tab access, which lets it read the title and address of the one page you deliberately saved and nothing else. Bookmark import is the only extra, and it is asked for from the button that uses it rather than at install.
Yes. Export writes a JSON file that restores everything exactly, or a CSV you can open in a spreadsheet and sort. Import reads the JSON back. Neither asks for an account, and both work on a free install.
They go with it. Reminders live in your browser’s own storage, so removing the extension removes them — there is no copy on a server for us to keep, which is the same fact that makes the privacy claim true. Export first if you want them: it is one button in Settings.
Free, no account, and nothing leaves your device. About ten seconds to install, and one keystroke to use.
Also on Brave, Vivaldi, Arc and Opera — straight from the Chrome Web Store listing.
