Your first reminder

Save it

1. Open a page you actually care about later. Not this one — something real, so the reminder is worth arriving. An article, a product, a pull request.
2. Click the Latr icon in your toolbar, then Remind me about this page.
3. The title is filled in for you from the page. Edit it if the page title is unhelpful — many are. This is what the notification will say.
4. Type when you want it in the When field, in plain language. For now, type in 5 minutes.
5. Press Save reminder.

The composer closes, the reminder appears at the top of your queue with a live countdown, and the button flashes green to confirm. That green ring is the entire confirmation — Latr does not interrupt you with a dialog.

Writing the time

The When field reads ordinary language, so you can type what you would say out loud:

• in 20 minutes
• tomorrow 9am
• next tuesday 5pm
• friday morning
• in 3 weeks

Underneath the field, Latr shows the exact date and time it understood, plus how far away that is. Always glance at that line — it is the confirmation that what you typed means what you thought, and it is why an ambiguous phrase never silently becomes the wrong day.

If you would rather pick a date, the calendar icon opens a picker. There are also one-tap chips for the common cases: In 1 hour, Tonight, Tomorrow, Next week.

Close the tab and wait

Close the page. This is the part worth doing deliberately — the reminder does not need the tab, and closing it is what makes Latr different from leaving forty tabs open.

Leave the browser itself running. Five minutes later a notification appears with your title, and the page reopens in a background tab beside it.

That is the whole product. Everything else — repeats, quiet hours, tags, templates — is a refinement of those two steps.

What to try next

Three things, in the order most people find useful:

1. Save without opening the popup. Press Alt+Shift+Y and the page you are on is saved at your default time — nothing opens, and there is nothing to type. Or highlight a date on the page and right-click, and Latr reads the time straight out of the text. The same menu has one-tap presets — in 15 minutes, tonight, tomorrow morning — that work with nothing highlighted at all.
2. Set something repeating. Daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly and five more, under the same disclosure as the note. Weekdays is the one most people want: a daily reminder that fires on Saturday is how people learn to ignore reminders.
3. Set quiet hours. Settings → Notifications. Nothing fires inside your window; it waits and arrives when the window ends.

Then press Ctrl+K (⌘K on a Mac) in the popup. It reaches every action and every reminder you have, and it is the fastest way to use Latr once you have more than a handful.
