Later lets you schedule reminders in natural way by choosing times like this evening, tomorrow morning or next week. Download Later for Mac to sync your reminders and even add reminders that appear when you're back on your Mac. “On-the-go users don’t want to fill out sign-up forms, watch tutorials or face a steep learning curve just to use what should be a basic utility. Later gets that, by taking you right to the experience. It takes only a few seconds to get going. In fact, the download of the app itself takes longer than creating your first reminder.” -Tech Crunch “Later sets out to do one thing really well. There are almost no buttons or settings to get lost in. It's just a few taps and you're done. The UI is clean and simple.” -Arctic Startup 5-stars by chrisgscott: "This is exactly what I needed. No feature bloat, no bells and whistles, just one tap to set a "don't forget to do this" then one more tap to choose when to be reminded. No more late night emails to myself! Thank you, it's already earned a spot in the tray on my iPhone." Key benefits: - Predefined presets saves time (you can change these in settings) - 3x faster to schedule a reminder than iCal - Share extension - Today's widget - Recurring reminders If you send an email to yourself whenever you want to schedule a reminder or find that other reminder apps just have too many options to add a simple reminder, Later app will be ideal for you. It is dramatically simpler reminder's app that has the perfect amount of features. We love your feedback! Send it to us at support@laterapp.co. You can also do this from app's Settings.
