Reminders

Set reminders on tabs and groups to revisit them later

Reminders

Set reminders on tabs and groups to get notified when it's time to revisit them. Reminders help you stay on top of important links, research, and saved workflows without losing track of them.

Overview

Reminders are a premium feature that allows you to:

  • Set date and time reminders on any tab or group
  • Add notes to remember why you set the reminder
  • Get notified when reminders are due
  • View, dismiss, or open saved tabs and groups directly from reminder notifications

Setting a Tab Reminder

  1. Open Tabhive and navigate to the tab you want to set a reminder for
  2. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on the tab
  3. Select "Reminder" from the dropdown menu
  4. Choose a date and time for the reminder
  5. Optionally add a note to remember why you set this reminder
  6. Click "Set Reminder"

The reminder will be saved and you'll receive a notification when it's due.

Setting a Group Reminder

Use group reminders when you want to revisit a whole collection of tabs later, such as a research set, project queue, or follow-up list.

  1. Open Tabhive and navigate to the group you want to revisit
  2. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on the group
  3. Select "Reminder" from the dropdown menu
  4. Choose a date and time for the reminder
  5. Optionally add a note to remember why you set this reminder
  6. Click "Set Reminder"

The reminder will be saved for the group and you'll receive a notification when it's due.

Viewing Reminders

When a reminder is due, you'll see a notification overlay on the webpage. The reminder notification shows:

  • The tab or group's title
  • The time the reminder was set
  • Any note you added
  • Options to view the saved item or dismiss the reminder

Reminder Notifications

  • Reminders appear as stacked notifications in the top-right corner of web pages
  • Multiple reminders stack on top of each other
  • Reminders are shown for up to 24 hours after they're due
  • Each reminder shows how long ago it was due (e.g., "2 hours ago")

Managing Reminders

View a Reminder

Click the "View" button on a reminder notification to:

  • Open the tab or group
  • Automatically dismiss the reminder

Dismiss a Reminder

Click the "Close" button to dismiss a reminder without opening the tab. The reminder will be removed and won't appear again.

Update a Reminder

  1. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on a tab or group that has an existing reminder
  2. Select "Reminder" from the dropdown menu
  3. Modify the date, time, or note
  4. Click "Update Reminder"

Reminder Features

Notes

Add notes to reminders to remember:

  • Why you wanted to revisit the tab
  • What action you need to take
  • Any context about the content

Notes appear in the reminder notification when it's due.

Multiple Reminders

You can set reminders on multiple tabs and groups. Each reminder works independently:

  • Set different dates and times for different tabs or groups
  • Each reminder will notify you when it's due
  • Reminders are managed per tab or group

Best Practices

  • Set specific times: Choose a date and time when you'll actually be available to review the tab
  • Use notes: Add context about why you're setting the reminder
  • Review regularly: Check your reminder notifications and either view or dismiss them
  • Update as needed: If plans change, update your reminder instead of letting it expire

Troubleshooting

Reminders Not Showing

  • Make sure you're on a paid plan (reminders are a premium feature)
  • Check that the reminder date and time have passed
  • Reminders only show for 24 hours after they're due
  • Refresh the page if a reminder should be visible

Can't Set Reminder

  • Verify you're on a paid Pro plan
  • Make sure you're logged into Tabhive
  • Try refreshing the extension or restarting your browser

Premium Feature

Reminders are available on all paid plans. If you're on the free plan, you'll be prompted to upgrade when trying to set a reminder.
