Sharing a reminder as a link

Copying one

Any reminder's row menu has Copy share link. It goes on your clipboard; paste it wherever you were going to paste it.

Typical use: "that stream is Tuesday at 5" in a group chat, where the alternative is three messages and somebody still getting the time wrong.

What the other person sees

A small page on latr.page showing the page title, the site and the time, with two options:

• They already have Latr — one click adds it to their queue, with the time already set, and they can change it before saving.
• They do not — the page offers the extension for their browser, and the reminder is waiting once it is installed.

Either way they see what they are agreeing to before anything is added. Nothing is written to anybody's browser by opening a link.

Where the data actually goes

Nowhere. This is the part worth understanding, because "share link" normally means "we stored your thing and gave you an address for it".

The reminder is encoded into the part of the URL after the #. Browsers do not send that fragment to the server — it is resolved entirely on the recipient's machine. So the page they open genuinely does not receive the title, the address or the time; the page's own script reads it out of the URL bar locally and draws it.

Your note is not included

The link carries the title, the page address and the time. It deliberately leaves out your note.

A note is something you wrote to yourself — "check whether it drops under what I told her I'd spend" — and this link gets pasted into a group chat. Sending it along would be a surprise of the worst kind, so it never travels.

What a link cannot carry

• Your note, per above
• Tags, folders and priority — those are your organisation, not theirs
• The page thumbnail, which would not fit in a URL
• Repeat rules — the recipient gets the single occurrence you shared

For moving your own reminders between machines, this is the wrong tool: use sync, or a JSON backup, both of which carry everything.
