Twenty links,
one message.

Sending a set of pages usually means pasting them one by one, or putting your list on somebody's server to get an address for it. Latr puts the whole set inside the link - titles, addresses and times - so you send one link and nothing is stored anywhere.

The problem

Sharing browser tabs one by one

You have spent an afternoon gathering the right pages - the research for a report, the reading for a class, the options for a trip - and now somebody else needs them. So it is twelve messages of bare links with no titles, or a document you build by hand, or a service that asks you to sign up so it can keep your list on its server and hand you a link to it.

How it works

Share a group of tabs, or a whole session, as one link

Anything Latr has saved as a set can be sent as one link. If the tabs are still open, save them first - it takes one press - and then share what you saved.

  1. 1
    Gather the pages into one set.

    Open tabs: Save all tabs in the popup, then Save as one window. Pages you have kept: select them in the library. Tabs you saved together with a time are already a session. And a single page works too - any reminder can be shared on its own.

  2. 2
    Copy the share link.

    Copy share link on a saved window (or on just the tabs you tick inside it), Share this session on a session, or the share button on a library selection. The set's name travels with it - a library selection is named after the folder or tag you were looking at.

  3. 3
    Paste it anywhere a link goes.

    A team chat, an email to students, a project document, a message to a friend. It is an ordinary https address on latr.page, so every app treats it like any other link.

The sets worth sharing usually started as a saved window - how to save and keep those is on the session manager, and how a window keeps its tab groups is on saving tab groups.

Privacy

Share tab links without uploading a saved session to a server

Most share links work by storing your thing somewhere and giving you its address. This one does not: the list is encoded into the part of the URL after the #, which a browser resolves on its own machine and never sends in a request. The page on latr.page that opens it receives nothing - its script reads the list out of the recipient's address bar and draws it there.

What travels

Title, address, time

For every page in the set, up to 50 of them, plus the name of the set. A page you kept with no time arrives kept, with no time. Only http and https addresses are carried, and a page that fails the check is dropped while the rest arrive.

What stays with you

Everything else

Your notes, your tags and folders, priority, the page pictures and repeat rules. A note is something you wrote to yourself, and a link pasted into a group chat is the wrong place for it - so it never goes.

Because nothing is stored on our side, nothing can be taken back either: a link works for as long as whoever has it keeps it. The full account of what Latr stores, and where, is on the privacy page.

Receiving

Can they open a shared set of tabs with one click?

With Latr, adding the whole set is one click, and a set saved as a window then opens in one more. Without it, they can see and open every page you sent, and need Latr only to save the set. Either way, nothing is added to anybody's browser just by opening the link.

Without Latr

A plain page listing the set's name and every page in it, with title and site. Each page opens with a click, and there is an offer to install Latr to save them. No sign-up, and the list is read in their own browser.

With Latr in Chrome or Edge

I already have Latr hands the set to the extension. Every page starts ticked; untick the ones they do not want, rename it or change the time, and add the rest in one click. A page they already have is skipped.

Saved their way

As reminders at the shared time, as kept pages in the library, as a saved window to open later, or as a new folder in their browser bookmarks. A shared saved window opens on saved window by default.

The one-click hand-off is for Chrome and Edge, where the page can open the extension directly. Sharing is for sending pages to somebody else; to carry your own reminders and kept pages to your own other computer - notes, tags and all - use a backup file, described on moving tabs to another computer.

Questions

Sharing tabs, asked directly

How do I share multiple tabs in one link?

Save them together first - a saved window, a set of tabs you saved at once, or pages you select in the library - then choose Copy share link (or Share this session) from its menu. One link goes on your clipboard carrying every page, and you paste it wherever you like: a chat, an email, a document.

Does the person I send it to need Latr?

Not to see or open what you sent. The link opens a plain page on latr.page that lists the name of the set and every page in it, with its title and site, and each page opens with a click. To save the set - as reminders, as kept pages, as a saved window or as a bookmarks folder - they need Latr, and in Chrome or Edge that is one click on “I already have Latr”.

Is anything uploaded to a server when I share?

No. The list is written into the part of the link after the #, which browsers never send to a server. The page that opens it reads the list out of the address bar in the recipient’s own browser, so neither Latr nor anyone else stores a copy. The other side of that: nothing can be revoked, so treat the link like any link you paste into a chat.

How many tabs can one link hold?

Up to 50 pages. Share a bigger selection and the link carries the first fifty and says so. Only ordinary web pages travel - an address that is not http or https is left out, and if one page in a link fails that check, the others still arrive.

Are my notes, tags and page pictures included?

No. A share link carries each page’s title, its address and its time, and nothing else. Your notes are things you wrote to yourself, tags and folders are your own filing, and pictures would not fit in a link. Repeats do not travel either - the recipient gets the single occurrence you shared.

Can I share a tab group?

You can share the pages in it. Save the window the group is in, then share the saved window, or tick only that group’s tabs inside it and share those. The pages travel; the group’s name and colour do not, so the recipient files them their own way.

How do I send a page to my own phone?

That is a different feature. Show QR code for your phone, in a reminder’s menu, draws a code for the page address so your phone’s camera can open it - it is not a share link and carries no list. To move your reminders and kept pages to your own other computer, export a backup instead.

Close the tab.
It will come back.

Free, no account, and nothing leaves your device. About ten seconds to install, and one keystroke to use.
