A bookmark is a link with no plan attached, which is why the folder fills up and nobody opens it again. Latr keeps your pages the same way - and lets you give any one of them a time, at which point it stops being a bookmark and comes back on its own.
The problem
Saving a page feels like doing something about it, and it is not. The link goes into a folder you have to decide to open, and nothing will ever remind you it is there - so the folder grows, the useful links sink under the dead ones, and the only honest description of the whole thing is an archive of intentions.
How it works
One press keeps the page you are on with no time attached. Folders and tags are uncapped, nesting included, and every row carries the picture of the page it saved - so you recognise it before you read it. Hover the picture for a larger look, with the title and address.
The real bookmark tree sits in the sidebar and every verb on it writes: new folders, rename, change an address, move, delete with an undo, and drag links in either direction. Import stopped being one-way. Show them as cards with a picture of each page, size the cards, colour a folder and drag links into the order you want.
Remind me… on any saved page arms it. It leaves the library, joins the queue, and reopens on its own at the moment you chose - at the line you had scrolled to, not the top.
Only in Latr
That is the whole trick, and it is an architecture decision rather than a feature. Everywhere else, the thing you saved lives in a bookmark manager and the thing that nags you lives in a to-do app, so promoting one to the other means retyping it. Here it is one switch on one record - and it runs both ways, so a reminder you no longer want a time on becomes a kept page instead of being deleted.
Not only pages
The library is one of four lists in the same panel, and they behave the same way. Open tabs is every tab across every window, searchable, with the duplicates marked. A saved window keeps its tab groups, their names and their colours, and comes back as a window rather than as forty tabs dropped into the one you are in. And any of them can be given a time - a page, a tab, a tab group, or a window you want back on Monday morning. One place, rather than a bookmark manager beside a session saver beside a to-do list.
More on those two: the tab manager and saving windows and tab groups.
What it will not do
There is nothing to sign into and nowhere for your list to be stored but your own browser. Latr also will not tell you which bookmarks are dead: finding out means fetching every link you have ever saved, and a free install making no network requests at all is worth more than that feature. Reordering inside a folder is left to the browser's own manager for the same reason - one implementation of it is enough.
Questions
Work in the library rather than the browser’s bookmark bar: search across every folder at once, sort by name or site, select many and move them in one go, colour the folders you use most, and drag to arrange. Pages you only kept to come back to can be given a time and leave the pile on their own.
Yes. Switch the library to cards and each bookmark shows a picture of its page once Latr has one - otherwise the site’s letter - with a size slider. See visual bookmarks for how the pictures are taken without fetching anything.
Both, and you choose per link. Latr has its own library, and your real browser bookmark tree appears beside it as a facet you can edit: make folders, rename, change an address, move, delete, and drag links either way. Copy a bookmark into Latr to give it a time; drag a Latr page out to your bookmarks bar when it has earned a permanent place.
It can stop being one. A kept page and a reminder are the same record in Latr, so giving a saved link a time is one switch - the link leaves the library, joins the queue, and the page reopens on its own at the moment you chose, at the place you had scrolled to. Nothing else in this category can do that, because everywhere else a bookmark and a reminder are two different objects in two different apps.
No, and there is nowhere to make one. Everything is stored in your browser. A free install makes no network requests at all - which also means no server outage, no price change and no shutdown notice can take your list away.
Both, and folders are uncapped for everyone, nesting included. Tags are never limited either, because a tag carries the name behind its colour dot and limiting them would put an accessibility affordance behind a paywall. You can also search across a page title, its note and its domain, and save a filter you use often as a view.
No, and that is deliberate rather than missing. Finding out means fetching every link you have saved, and "a free install makes no network requests" is worth more than the feature. Any tool that offers dead-link checking is visiting your bookmarks from somewhere.
Never. Bookmark access is optional and requested at the click that needs it - the install dialog shows no permission warnings at all. Decline it and Latr’s own library still works; you simply do not see the browser tree beside it.
Four ways: write a selection into a real browser bookmarks folder, export a JSON backup that restores exactly, export a CSV for a spreadsheet, or send a list as a share link. A manager you cannot leave is one you should not have joined.
Free, no account, and nothing leaves your device. About ten seconds to install, and one keystroke to use.
