Put something off

  1. Select a capture, or move to it in the Inbox, and press L. Or right-click it and choose Remind…

  2. Pick a time: press its number, click it, or press L again for the default.

  3. For any other time, choose Pick a date…, type something like “fri 3pm” or “in two weeks”, and press Return. Or click a day on the calendar.

  1. Open the capture and tap More, or long-press it in the library.

  2. Tap Remind me and pick a time.

  3. To cancel, open Remind me again and tap Remove reminder. The capture comes back to the Inbox now.

The times

  • Later today: 6:00 pm. Offered before 5:00 pm.
  • Tomorrow: 9:00 am.
  • This weekend: Saturday, 9:00 am. Offered on weekdays.
  • Next week: Monday, 9:00 am.

On Mac, a typed day without a time comes back at 9:00 am, or 6:00 pm if you write “tonight” or “evening”.

When it comes back

It goes to the top of the Inbox, under Reminders. A capture that's in a space stays there while it waits. On Mac, a notification says “Back in your inbox”; click it to open the capture.

Notifications are on Mac only. Turn them off in Settings → General → Later → Notifications.

Bring it back early

On Mac, open the Inbox's Later list, select the capture, press L and choose Now. On iPhone and iPad, tap Remove reminder.

Questions

Can I put something off with no date?

Not with Later: every choice has a time. On Mac, press A in the Inbox to archive it instead.

I didn't get a notification.

Reminder notifications are on Mac only. Check Settings → General → Later → Notifications, and Resurf's permission in macOS notification settings.
