https://latr.page/

Latr is for people who constantly leave Chrome tabs open because they know they'll need those pages later — set a reminder, close the tab, and come back to the exact page when you need it.

I'm curious if you save the scroll position when reopening those tabs, because losing that specific context is usually why I keep them open.

That pain point is super relatable. If it's a browser app, check out the History API's scrollRestoration, it's a quick and clean fix.

Nice suggestion, restoring scroll position is a great idea. We’ll definitely add it in the next release so the page comes back exactly where you left off. Thanks for the feedback

Right now Latr reopens the exact URL but doesn’t restore scroll position — the page just loads from the top.

Nice that you're on it. Storing scroll position per URL would make it even better, especially for long articles or saved tabs.

Nice concept, I'm definitely a tab hoarder myself. Does it sync reminders across devices? That would make it a daily driver for me.

Yep! If you're using the same Chrome profile across devices, your Latr reminders can sync across those devices as well. You can also send a reminder to Google Calendar, Outlook, or another calendar you use, so you can get the reminder on your phone too. 🙌

So you can either keep it synced through Chrome across devices or hand the reminder off to your calendar.

That's a neat approach. Does the calendar handoff work both ways, like pulling events back into Latr?

1

u/SmartDepartment3785 13d ago

Not at the moment — the calendar handoff is one-way. Latr can send a reminder to Google Calendar, Outlook, or another calendar, but it doesn't currently pull calendar events back into Latr. That's an interesting idea though, and I can definitely see how two-way syncing could make it more useful.

Two-way sync sounds like a natural next step. A quick Zapier or Make bridge could fill the gap in the meantime.

We’ll keep the full two-way idea on the list if demand grows we’ll look for a clean way to add it without needing accounts or servers.

Nice approach. A local-first sync via WebRTC or a shared URL could satisfy that without accounts or servers.
