Guide
Everything you need to know about Latr in simple, clear English. No accounts, no trackings, and completely private.
Get started in 1 minute and watch your first reminder arrive.
After installing, click Chrome's puzzle-piece icon and pin Latr to your toolbar. The Latr icon displays a countdown badge to your next due item.
Open a product page, email deadline, news article, or status page.
Click Remind me about this page, type in 2 minutes into the When field, and save.
In 2 minutes, a desktop alert arrives. Click the alert to reopen the exact webpage!
Notifications blocked? Check your computer's notification settings if desktop alerts do not appear. Latr shows a banner in the popup if notifications are muted by your operating system.
Choose whichever method is easiest for you.
The fastest way, and no window opens.
What it is: One keystroke, no interface at all.
How it works: Press Alt+Shift+Y anywhere on the web. The page you are on is saved at your default time — an hour out until you change it in Settings — and nothing opens. If you would rather say when each time, one switch in Settings makes the same key open Latr with the form ready instead.
Why it helps: It is less work than leaving the tab open, which is the only thing it has to beat.
When the page already says when.
What it is: Save a reminder directly from webpage text.
How it works: Highlight any date (e.g. "tickets open next Friday at 9am"), right-click, and select Remind me about this. Latr reads the date automatically and saves the link.
Why it helps: Zero retyping or manual date entry required.
When the time is in your head.
What it is: Save the active webpage from your toolbar.
How it works: Click the Latr icon and select Remind me about this page. The form opens with the page title and a sensible time already filled in, so you only touch what you want to change.
Why it helps: Save any tab in seconds.
Keyboard-only capture and search.
What it is: Address bar integration.
How it works: Type rem in your browser address bar, press Tab or space, and type your phrase like rem tomorrow 5pm.
Why it helps: Search saved reminders or add new ones without leaving your address bar.
Duplicate Prevention: If you try to save a webpage that is already in your reminder queue, Latr alerts you with an Already saved for this page prompt so you can edit the existing reminder instead of creating duplicate entries.
Type dates in plain language or use the visual picker.
Plain-Language Date Parsing: Type times naturally like tomorrow 9am, next tuesday 5pm, in 3 hours, or friday evening. Latr displays the exact parsed date and time right underneath before you save.
Typed Repeats: Typing every weekday at 9:30am sets both the time and the repeat schedule simultaneously.
Visual Date & Time Picker: Click the calendar icon to open a visual picker with quick preset buttons for This evening, Tomorrow morning, and This weekend.
Add Personal Notes: Add short notes (e.g., "Check for discount code") when saving. Notes appear inside the notification popup and are fully searchable.
Manage all pending reminders in one clean, time-sorted list.
Advanced repeat schedules for daily routines and standing deadlines.
| Rule | What it does |
|---|---|
| Daily | Fires every single day at the exact same time. |
| Every weekday | Fires Monday through Friday only. Work reminders won't interrupt your weekends. |
| Weekly | Fires once a week on your chosen day. |
| Monthly | Fires on the same date each month (clamping short months like February to their last day). |
| Same weekday each month | Sets rules like "the 3rd Thursday of the month" so recurring meetings match calendar cycles. |
| Last working day of the month | Ideal for month-end payroll, invoices, or reports. Automatically steps back off weekends. |
| Every 2 weeks | Fires every fortnightly cycle. |
| Every 30 days | Fires every 30 days regardless of month lengths. |
| Every 90 days | Quarterly check-ins, password changes, or seasonal reviews. |
| Every N days / Custom interval | Type any custom interval like "every 10 days" or "every 6 weeks". |
Time Zone Lock: Lock repeat reminders to a specific time zone so standing meetings (e.g., 9am London time) stay locked to that time zone even when you travel.
Custom options for controlling when notifications arrive.
Organize your reminders by topic, project, or domain.
Color Tags: Assign color-coded labels (e.g., Work, Personal, Shopping) to categorize tasks.
Folders & Subfolders: Organize reminders into folders and 1-level subfolders (e.g., Work > Project Alpha).
Saved Filter Views: Combine filters (e.g. "Work tag + Overdue status") and save them as 1-click custom views.
Automate settings for websites you visit frequently.
Per-Site Automation Rules: Create domain rules (e.g. github.com/*) so new reminders on that domain automatically inherit tags, folders, priority, and reminder timing.
Re-usable Templates: Save task templates containing preferred notes, tags, priorities, and sound settings to apply in 1 click using Ctrl+K.
A dedicated visual monthly dashboard.
Click the calendar icon in the header to open a full month view displaying your scheduled due dates, overdue items, repeating tasks, and pinned reminders in a visual calendar grid.
A desktop notification pops up displaying the page title, your custom note, and quick snooze options. Click the notification to open the exact webpage in a new tab.
Browser Closed Behavior: If your browser was closed when a reminder was due, the alert pops up as soon as you reopen your browser and informs you that it arrived while you were away.
Import Bookmark Folders: Select any bookmark folder in Chrome or Edge and convert all saved links into scheduled reminders.
Paste Link Lists: Paste raw text, spreadsheet columns, or email link lists to bulk-create reminders with instant preview and undo.
