Latr Ours
Tab snoozer
Tab Snooze and Latr share the core mechanic: close a tab with a time and it reopens automatically. The differences are around it. Tab Snooze is a focused snoozer with presets you can tune and a todo list. Latr types the time in plain language, reopens the page at the line you stopped reading, and adds a tab manager, saved windows with their groups, a bookmark library and focus sessions - and it runs on Edge and Firefox as well as Chrome.
Covers 4 of Tab Snooze’s 4 features. Adds: reopens at the line you stopped reading, saves a whole window and restores it, saves sessions automatically, keeps tab groups, manages every open tab, across windows, finds duplicate tabs, puts idle tabs away automatically, share a list of tabs, focus timer with site blocking, sync between computers.
Unlike Tab Snooze, it also runs on Edge, Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Arc, and, like Tab Snooze, it is free to start (Free; Pro is $19 once, for themes, sounds and extras).
Choose Latr over Tab Snooze if you want a snoozer that reopens where you stopped reading, takes times in plain words, and works on Firefox and Edge too.
