How Latr Works
Understand how webpage alerts and local storage work inside your browser.
- How Reminders Fire How browser alarms trigger desktop alerts on time.
- What Happens When Chrome Closes How missed reminders are safely caught when you reopen your browser.
- Life of a Reminder Understanding active, snoozed, completed, and missed statuses.
- Where Your Data Lives What is stored, where it physically sits, and the only two things that ever cause a request.
Saving Reminders
- 4 Ways to Save Toolbar icon, keyboard shortcut, right-click, address bar — and which to use when.
- Right-Click Date Text Highlight a date on the page and let Latr read the time out of it. Plus five one-tap times.
- Writing Plain-Language Dates Type "next tuesday 5pm" and see the exact date before you save.
Scheduling
- Repeating Reminders Ten rules, including the third Thursday and the last working day. Repeats never drift.
- Quiet Hours (Do Not Disturb) A window where nothing fires. Reminders are held and released, never rescheduled.
- Snooze & Early Warning Seven snooze lengths, two on the notification buttons, and heads-up alerts before the reminder.
- Priority Levels Four levels. High and critical make the notification wait on screen instead of fading.
- Task Dependencies Make one reminder wait until another is finished.
Organising
- Tags & Folders Several tags, one folder. Tags are unlimited on every plan, and here is why.
- Search & Saved Views Search titles, sites and your own notes. Keep a filter you use often as a view.
- Task Templates A saved set-up you apply to a new reminder, for the ones you make the same way every time.
- Per-Site Rules For sites you always treat the same way, a rule fills the composer in. Subdomains included.
Notifications
- If Notifications Do Not Appear Quick fix for system notification permissions on Windows and macOS.
- What Notifications Show What is on a notification, what clicking and dismissing each mean, and how to reword it.
- Toolbar Icon Badge A count or a countdown on the toolbar icon, and what a grey icon means.
- Notification Chimes Six built-in chimes or your own, and the five settings that decide which one plays.
Mobile & Sync
- Google Calendar & Outlook Sync One click puts a reminder in Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar — and on your phone.
- Share Reminders via Link Copy a link that carries the reminder inside it. No server ever sees it, including ours.
- Sync Across Your Browsers Optional, off by default, and it rides on your browser own profile sync rather than a server of ours.
Backups & Imports
- Backup & Restore JSON Export everything as readable JSON and restore it anywhere.
- CSV Spreadsheet Export Your reminders as a spreadsheet. Eleven columns, opens cleanly in Excel and Sheets.
- Import Chrome Bookmarks Turn a bookmark folder into reminders, spread out, with a preview and a one-click undo.
Customisation
- Themes & Clock Formats Light or dark, a 12- or 24-hour clock, thumbnails, and reopening a page where you left it.
- Color Theme Editor Eight palettes including Nord and Dracula, plus an editor for your own.
- Default Reminder Settings What a new reminder opens with, and the order that decides when four settings disagree.
