It rolls forward from the original time
The next occurrence is scheduled from when it was meant to fire, not from when you got to it, so a series never drifts later. Marking one done ticks off this occurrence and the series carries on.
The page you check every week,
opening itself.
The timesheet on Friday afternoon, the dashboard every morning, the invoice run at month-end. Type when you want the page back - “every weekday at 9:30” - and it reopens on that schedule, on its own, until you tell it to stop.

Typing the time
Set reminders by typing a time
The When field reads a time the way you would say it, so a recurring tab scheduler does not need a form. Type a moment and it schedules that moment; start with “every” and it sets the repeat as well. Nothing is guessed silently - the field says what it understood before you save.
| You type | It sets |
|---|---|
tomorrow 9am | Once, tomorrow at 9:00 |
next tuesday 5pm | Once, on that Tuesday |
in 2 hours | Once, two hours from now |
every weekday at 9:30 | Monday to Friday, 9:30 |
every monday 9am | Weekly, Mondays at 9:00 |
every day at 8am | Daily, 8:00 |
every 3 days | Every 3 days |
every other week, fortnightly | Every 2 weeks |
every month, monthly | The same date each month |
every third thursday | Refused - pick it from Repeat |
Times are understood in nine languages; the repeat words above are English. “In 3 days” and “every 3 days” differ by one word and mean one reminder against a permanent one, so only “every”, “each” or an explicit word like “weekly” ever sets a repeat. And the third Thursday is refused from text on purpose: reading it from a phrase can land on the second, so Latr sends you to the Repeat field rather than scheduling the wrong week every month.
Every option
Repeat a website reminder every day, week or month
Repeat sits under More in the composer, because most saves are one-offs. Everything in it is free. These are the choices, and what each one is for.
- Every hour- a page you need to keep an eye on through the day
- Daily- the same time every day, weekends included
- Every weekday- Monday to Friday, skipping weekends: the standup, the morning dashboard
- Weekly- on the day you first set it: schedule a tab to open every Monday
- Certain days of the week- tick the days, say Tuesday and Thursday
- Monthly- the same date each month; a 31st falls on the last day of shorter months
- Same weekday each month- the third Thursday, taken from the date you picked
- Last working day monthly- steps back off a weekend: invoices, payroll, month-end reports
- Every 2 weeks, 30 days or 90 days- fortnightly checks, renewals, quarterly reviews
- Every N days, weeks or months- any interval from 1 to 365, such as every 6 weeks
There is no named yearly option; every 12 months does the same job. Each time a repeat comes round, the page reopens on its own - in the background by default - with a notification, and at the line you had scrolled to on a long page (see reopening where you stopped reading).
Step by step
Schedule a tab to open every Monday
The same four steps make any routine website open itself, whether it is daily, weekly or monthly.
- 1 Go to the page you want back.
The exact page - the report filtered the way you like it, not the site's home page. Latr saves that address.
- 2 Open Latr and type “every monday 9am”.
Click the toolbar icon or press AltShiftL, choose Remind me about this page and type the time. Weekly is set from the phrase; for anything else, open More and choose from Repeat.
- 3 Pin it to a time zone if it belongs to one.
A repeat follows your device's clock by default. Choose Stay on a zone and a 9am London meeting stays 9am London when you travel, through clock changes too.
- 4 Save, and close the tab.
It comes back every Monday at 9. You never save it again.
Living with them
Manage multiple recurring webpage reminders
A routine is only useful if it bends when the week does. These are the controls for a series once it is running.
Snooze one, keep the rest
Snoozing a repeat moves only the occurrence in front of you; the next one arrives on time. Pausing the whole series for a month, say over a holiday, is part of Latr Pro.
See them all in one list
The popup's queue filters to everything that repeats, and the month calendar shows each reminder on the day it is next due. A seven-day log in the popup shows each occurrence that fired and whether you opened it.
On your calendar too
One click sends a reminder to Google Calendar, Outlook or an .ics file, for the occasions that must reach your phone - covered on website reminders.
Quiet hours
Recurring reminders that avoid night-time and meetings
Set quiet hours - say 10pm to 7am - and any Latr reminder that comes due inside them is held, then delivered when the window ends. It is never dropped, and its schedule does not move: a daily reminder held from 2am to 7am is still a 2am reminder tomorrow.
Quiet windows
One quiet window is free, which covers sleep or working hours. Several - nights plus a lunch hour, say - are part of Pro.
Wait for the break
During a focus session, reminders wait through the focus time and arrive on the break. Pause reminders holds everything for one, two or four hours, or until tomorrow morning.
Not while presenting
Optionally, reminders wait while the browser is full screen - presenting, or a shared window - for up to 30 minutes, then arrive anyway.
All of this applies to Latr's own reminders and nothing else. It does not silence other websites' notifications or the browser's, and it is not a do-not-disturb for your computer - it decides when the pages you saved come back.
Questions
Recurring reminders, asked directly
How do I open a website every weekday at 9:30?
Go to the page, open the Latr popup and type “every weekday at 9:30” in the When field. Latr reads the time and sets Repeat to Every weekday for you, so the page reopens Monday to Friday at 9:30 and never at the weekend. If you would rather pick, choose Every weekday from Repeat.
Can I set a reminder for the third Thursday of every month?
Yes, from the Repeat field rather than by typing it. Pick a date that is a third Thursday, then choose Same weekday each month - Latr takes the “third Thursday” from the date you chose and keeps to it. Typing “third thursday” is refused on purpose and points you to Repeat, because guessing it from text can land on the wrong week.
Can a website reminder repeat on the last working day of the month?
Yes. Choose Last working day monthly in Repeat. It steps back off a weekend, so a month ending on a Saturday lands on the Friday before. Like the third Thursday, it is chosen from Repeat rather than typed.
What happens if my computer is off when a repeat is due?
No extension can fire while the browser is shut. When you come back, the missed occurrence is delivered and marked late, and the series carries on from its original time - a daily 9am reminder caught at 11:20 is still a 9am reminder tomorrow. For anything that must reach you while the laptop is shut, send the reminder to your calendar.
Do quiet hours silence other notifications in my browser?
No. Quiet hours hold Latr’s own reminders and nothing else - other sites’ notifications and the browser’s own are untouched. What they do with a reminder is hold it: one due at 2am waits and arrives when the window ends, and its schedule is not changed.
Can I pause a recurring reminder while I am on holiday?
Pausing a series - for a month, or until you resume it - is part of Latr Pro. The occurrences keep stepping while it is paused, so it picks up at the right one when you are back, with its note and history intact. On the free tier you can snooze the next occurrence, edit the time, or set Repeat back to Never.
Which languages can I type a time in?
Nine: English, German, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese and Chinese, matched to the language your browser runs Latr in. Setting a repeat by typing - “every monday”, “every 3 days” - works in English; in the other languages choose the repeat from the Repeat field.
Close the tab.
