A reminder that brings the page back

Latr started with a specific annoyance. You find something that matters later — an on-sale time, a restock date, a deadline written halfway down an email — and your options are to copy it into a calendar, or leave the tab open and hope. Most people do a lot of both, and the tab strip becomes a graveyard.

The problem is not that we forget things exist. It is that remembering and finding your way back to the exact page at the exact moment is two jobs, and most tools only do the first one.

What it does differently

One keystroke files the page you are on, so the tab can close. Or, when the page already says when, you highlight the time where you found it and right-click, and Latr reads it out of the text you selected. Either way it saves the page with the time, and at that moment reopens that exact page — not a note about it. Nothing is retyped, so nothing is mistyped, and there is no second app to keep in sync.

Why there is no account

Every reminder tool wants a sign-up. We could not find a reason for one that benefited the person using it rather than the person building it. Everything Latr needs is already in your browser, so that is where it stays: no account, no server, no copy of your reminders anywhere else, and no network requests at all from the free version.

That decision has a real cost, and it would be dishonest not to name it. Reminders only fire while your browser is running, because that is when the browser’s alarms run. If your laptop is shut, the reminder arrives when you next open it — and Latr tells you it is late rather than pretending. The one-click calendar handoff exists precisely for the things that cannot slip.

Where it is going

Slowly, and driven by what people actually ask for. A Pro tier is planned for power features like sync across devices, but it is deliberately not built yet — the features would be a guess until real people have used the free version. The core loop of saving a page and being reminded on it stays free permanently.
