Snooze and early warning

The seven lengths

• +15 minutes
• +30 minutes
• +1 hour
• +3 hours
• This evening — 6pm, or tomorrow evening if that has passed
• Tomorrow morning — 9am
• This weekend — Saturday, 9am

All seven are always available from the reminder's own row menu in the popup. You can also add your own in Settings → Notifications, which then resolve exactly like the built-in ones.

Note the split: the first four are durations and the last three are wall-clock times. "This evening" means six o'clock, not "six hours from wherever we are now" — which is the difference between a snooze that lands when you meant it and one that lands at 2am.

Why only two are on the toast

Chrome allows a notification exactly two buttons. Not a design decision of ours — a hard platform limit. So rather than pick two on your behalf, Latr lets you choose which two: Settings → Notifications → snooze buttons.

Pick the two you actually reach for. Most people want one short and one long — +1 hour and tomorrow morning is a reasonable default pair.

Snoozing twice

A second snooze compounds from where the first one left it, not from now. Snooze something by an hour, then an hour again twenty minutes later, and it lands roughly 100 minutes out rather than 60 — which is what "another hour" means when you say it.

Snoozing does not overwrite the reminder's real time. It records a deferral, which is why a snoozed repeating reminder pushes only the occurrence in front of you and the series carries on untouched.

If you find yourself snoozing the same thing repeatedly, that is usually a sign the original time was wrong rather than the reminder. Reschedule it from the row menu.

Early warning

An early warning is a separate, quieter notification before the reminder itself — 15 minutes, an hour, a day, whatever you set. Useful for anything you need to be ready for rather than merely told about: a ticket sale, a webinar, a call.

You can set more than one on the same reminder. A day before and fifteen minutes before is a sensible pair for something that needs preparation and then attention.

Set it per reminder in the composer, behind More, or set a default for every new reminder in Settings → Notifications, where it sits with the other questions about when rather than with tags and folders.

Snooze counts as an answer

Pressing snooze is a decision, and Latr records it as one. Two consequences worth knowing:

• A snoozed reminder is not counted as ignored in your history. Recording the most engaged users as the least would make the history screen useless.
• Snoozing stops any escalation for that delivery. If a high-priority reminder is set to re-notify until answered, snooze ends it — arguing with a decision you just made is how a feature gets switched off rather than tuned.
