PingLater

Features

Type the Time Don’t want to click? Type when the tab should come back, the way you’d say it: in 45 min, tomorrow 9am, friday 18:30, dec 24 10:00, in 3 days at 10, in an hour and a half. The line under the field shows exactly how PingLater understood you before you press Enter. Add a repeat in the same phrase — every Monday 10am, every weekday at 9, every 2 weeks — and it’s set for you. Works in all 8 languages (завтра в 9, morgen um 9, demain 9h, 明日9時…), forgives typos, and even fixes text typed in the wrong keyboard layout. If a phrase is unclear or in the past, nothing is snoozed — you’ll see a hint instead

Your Own Quick Buttons Settings → Quick buttons: tap any of the 10 buttons and make it “in N minutes / hours / days / weeks” (1–99) or a fixed time — tomorrow morning or evening, next Monday, in a week, the weekend, or the 1st of next month. The grid keeps the same layout, labels are written for you in your language, “someday” always stays last, and one tap on Reset brings back the defaults. Your buttons sync with Cloud Sync (Pro)

Multi-Tab Snooze Select multiple tabs at once, search by title, open a full-page view for hundreds of tabs, and snooze them together as a named group. Pick a custom date & time with the built-in calendar, and set recurring schedules

Sessions Save a whole window or selected tabs and reopen them anytime — no reminder. Click a saved session to expand its tab list; remove tabs you don’t need, or use + to add from the current window. Open all, open in a new window, or one tab at a time. Optional autosave takes periodic snapshots (kept separately from your manual saves). Export/import sessions as JSON; full Backup & Restore includes them too

Open in Background When a snooze ends, open the tab quietly without stealing focus from what you’re doing (Settings → Notifications). Optionally still show a wake-up notification so you know it opened

Duplicate Tabs Close same-URL duplicates in the current window with one click, or turn on auto-close so a newly opened duplicate is closed and the existing tab is kept (Settings → Duplicate tabs). Pinned tabs are never closed

Custom Date & Time Open “Custom date & time” under the buttons and pick any day and time in the built-in calendar

Recurring Reminders Repeat hourly, daily, weekdays, weekly, monthly, every N weeks/months — or pick specific days (e.g. Mon, Wed, Fri)

Someday List Save tabs for "someday" without a specific time

Categories Organize tabs with custom categories and icons

Notes Add personal notes to any snoozed tab — they'll appear in the notification

Missed Reminders Computer or browser was off? Reminders fire when you're back — one by one. A repeating reminder whose time already passed today opens once, then moves to its next time; earlier missed days are skipped, not piled up

Pause Waking Settings → Notifications → Pause all waking freezes auto-open: due tabs wait in Pending and nothing jumps open until you turn it off. To hold just one reminder or group, use its pause button in Pending. The global switch stays on this device

Reschedule from Notification Click the notification to reschedule — +1 hour, tomorrow, evening, someday, or any custom time

Keyboard Shortcuts Press ⌥⇧S / Alt+Shift+S to snooze for 1 hour. Plus 5 configurable shortcuts — set each to any preset (5 min, 1 hour, tomorrow, etc.) in Settings, then assign keys in chrome://extensions/shortcuts

Statistics Track your snoozed, opened, and dismissed tabs

Search & Filter Find tabs by title, URL, or category. Smart filters: Recurring, Opening today / tomorrow, Within a week

Themes Eight looks in Settings → Appearance → Theme: Dark, Light, Hollow Eve, Synthwave, CRT, 8-bit, Starry Night, and Newsprint. Applies instantly across PingLater and is saved with your other settings

Auto-Snooze Inactive Tabs Automatically close tabs you haven't used in a while and save them to Someday. Set your own inactivity timer and whitelist sites you want to keep open

Full-Page Pending View Open all your pending reminders in a spacious full-page layout — search, filter by category, reschedule with a calendar, manage groups, and handle hundreds of tabs comfortably

Backup & Restore Export all your data as JSON (reminders, history, sessions, settings), or import a backup / migrate from other snoozers (including Snoozz). Sessions also have their own export/import in the Sessions tab. With Pro, importing a full backup also replaces the cloud copy, so every device with your license gets it on its next sync. Imported by mistake? Use a recovery point

Wake Now / Wake & Delete From Pending: open a tab right away, or open it and remove the reminder in one tap

Open in a Full Tab Prefer more space? Open PingLater itself in a browser tab instead of the small popup (Settings → Appearance)

8 Languages English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Japanese, Russian, and Korean — switch anytime in Settings → Appearance → Language (or follow your browser’s system language)

History Every reminder that already fired — opened or dismissed — lands in the History tab with when it fired and whether it was opened or dismissed. Search it, reopen a tab in one click, or clear the list when you’re done. Handy when a tab woke up while you were away and you closed it by accident

Pro

Optional. One license covers Cloud Sync, recovery points, and voice commands. Free PingLater stays on this device, with no account. The 14-day trial covers all of them.

Cloud Sync

Snoozed tabs, sessions, history, categories, and settings on up to 5 devices. The other browser catches up when you open PingLater, and every 30 minutes in the background.

How to turn it on

On each device: Settings → Pro → paste the same license key → Activate. Chrome may ask once for sync-server access; if the popup closes, reopen PingLater and activate again.

How sync timing works

This device uploads changes automatically. Your other devices catch up when you open PingLater there (and in the background at least every 30 minutes). Use Sync now for an immediate refresh — it is not instant chat-style sync.

One wake-up, one device

With Cloud Sync, a due reminder opens on one device, not on all of them. Before opening, PingLater checks the cloud (on a slow connection this can take a few minutes), so your other devices just move it to its next time. If the cloud can’t be reached, the device opens it from its own copy.

What syncs

Pending reminders, sessions (including autosave settings), history, categories, and most settings. Language, pause reminders, open-in-background, and auto-close duplicates stay per device. Favicons and notification queues stay local. Cloud Sync has a size limit: if the document gets too large, oldest History entries and then oldest Autosaves are dropped so sync can continue — saved sessions and pending reminders stay.

Not the same as Chrome Sync

Chrome Sync (Google) may sync a few small settings separately. Cloud Sync is PingLater’s own optional sync for reminders and sessions across your browsers and devices.

Recovery points

Pro keeps two ways back, not a full history of every change. Restore from Settings → Pro. It replaces reminders on every device with this license and does not open tabs.

A daily copy

Once a day, the next cloud save stores the document that was there before that save. You get yesterday’s cloud copy, not every edit made during the day.

Undo the last cloud change

The document overwritten by the latest cloud save is kept as one slot. Use it to undo that save. States in between the daily copy and that slot are not kept.

Voice commands

Tap the microphone on the time field, say when the tab should come back, then press Snooze yourself. The phrase is the same one you can type: tomorrow 9am, half past nine, in 2 hours. Speak in the language selected in Settings → Appearance → Language. System default uses the browser’s language, so an English interface only hears English — switch the language to Russian if you want to say завтра в 9. The shortcut is Alt+Shift+V (Option+Shift+V on Mac); change it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. The first tap asks for the microphone. While you speak, Chrome sends that audio to Google and Edge sends it to Microsoft. PingLater does not keep the recording. Firefox has no voice button

Pro Tips

Use Close tab (default) when snoozing — the page is fully closed, so it stops using RAM until it comes back

Right-click any link and select "PingLater" to snooze it without opening

Set your preferred morning/evening times in Settings → Default Times — “tomorrow morning/evening”, “next Monday”, “the weekend”, and typed phrases like “tomorrow” all use them

Use "Someday" for articles you want to read but don't need a reminder for

Enable Auto-Snooze in Settings to automatically clean up tabs you haven't touched in hours. Add your favorite sites to the whitelist so they're never auto-snoozed

Set up keyboard shortcuts in Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts. You get 5 customizable slots — assign each to your favorite snooze preset, then bind keys in chrome://extensions/shortcuts

Pick a theme in Settings → Appearance → Theme — from calm Dark and Light to CRT, 8-bit, or Newsprint

Got too many pending reminders? Click "Open Full View" in the Pending tab to manage everything on a spacious full page with search, filters, and a calendar to reschedule

Before updating or switching devices, go to Settings → Backup & Restore → Export Data to save a copy of all your reminders, sessions, and settings. Import it on any Chrome to restore everything instantly. With Pro, that import also replaces the cloud copy for all your devices

Snooze vs Sessions: use Snooze when you want a timed reminder; use Sessions when you just want to park a set of tabs and reopen them yourself later — no alarm

Turn on Sessions → Autosave for a safety net of window snapshots. Manual saves stay in “Saved”; autosaves stack separately (up to 30) and skip duplicates if nothing changed

Using two computers? Activate Cloud Sync (Pro) with the same license key on each. Open PingLater on the second device to pull the latest — or tap Sync now. Free users can still Export / Import a backup manually

Need a quieter wake-up? Enable Open in background in Settings so due tabs open without jumping you away from YouTube, a form, or a call — keep Show notification on if you still want a heads-up

Too many copies of the same page? Settings → Duplicate tabs → Close duplicates now, or turn on auto-close so new duplicates don’t pile up

Saved session missing a tab or has extras? Click the session card to expand the list — remove with ✕, or use + to add tabs from the current window (manual sessions only; autosaves stay read-only snapshots)

Fastest snooze without the mouse: open PingLater, type “in 2 hours” or “tomorrow 9am”, check the line under the field, press Enter. Repeats work too — “every weekday at 9”

Always snooze for the same odd time — 20 minutes, 4 hours, 3 days? Put it on the grid: Settings → Quick buttons → tap a button and change it

Missed something in the welcome tour? Settings → Help → Show welcome tour replays it anytime

Never lose a tab again.
