Tab Reminder lets you close a tab and get a Chrome notification to revisit it later, from 20 minutes to next week or a custom time. The AppSumo deal is $2.99 once, which appears to be the same price as unlocking it inside the extension. It's well reviewed on AppSumo, but it's a small tool from a solo developer, and free alternatives cover some of the same ground. ## Pros - Close a tab and get a native Chrome notification when it's time to come back - Presets from 20 minutes to next week, custom dates and repeating reminders - Snooze for 15 minutes, or have the tab reopen automatically - Optional webhook so a reminder can trigger an automation - 46 AppSumo reviews averaging 4.7 tacos - The developer says the extension doesn't collect your data ## Cons - The $2.99 AppSumo price appears to match the in-extension upgrade, so there's no real saving - Chrome has to be running for reminders and webhooks to fire - Only 3.7 stars from 19 ratings on the Chrome Web Store, with about 2,000 users - A one-person project; the AppSumo founder update dates from 2021 - It isn't clear whether the AppSumo code also unlocks the Firefox version - Partner-managed listing that AppSumo hasn't vetted ## Choose it if - You leave tabs open so you won't forget them - You want reminders tied to a specific web page, not a separate to-do app - You like small, single-purpose tools ## Skip it if - You already use a to-do app that can save pages with due dates - You need reminders when your browser is closed or on your phone - You only ever need a 20-minute reminder, which is free ## Pricing - AppSumo lifetime deal: $2.99 one-time — All reminder times, snooze, dashboard and webhooks. One code, not stackable. - Free: Free — 20-minute reminders only. ## Deal terms - Pay once, keep access for life - All future updates included - Redeem your code within 60 days - One code only, not stackable ## Full review ### Why I looked at Tab Reminder Plenty of us keep tabs open for days as a kind of to-do list: an article to finish, a form to submit later, a sale that starts tomorrow. Tab Reminder offers a tidier habit: close the tab and let Chrome remind you when it matters. The [AppSumo deal](https://appsumo.8odi.net/xJaY9y) is $2.99 once. It's a small tool, so this is a shorter review. I went through the AppSumo listing and reviews, the Chrome Web Store listing and the developer's answers I could find. ### What Tab Reminder actually is Tab Reminder is a Chrome extension by Garrett Grimm. Click its bell icon on any page, choose when you want to be reminded, and close the tab. When the time comes, you get a native Chrome notification, and clicking it takes you back to the page. It isn't a full task manager or a tab organiser. It doesn't group or save sets of tabs; it just schedules a reminder for one page at a time. ### The features that stood out to me #### Quick presets and custom times You can pick 20 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, tomorrow or next week, or set a custom date and time. The Chrome Web Store listing also mentions repeating reminders (hourly, daily or weekly) and a reminder history. #### Snooze or reopen automatically When a reminder fires, you can snooze it for 15 minutes. You can also choose whether the tab opens by itself. The bell icon lights up when the page you're on already has a reminder, which helps avoid duplicates. #### A dashboard and a webhook All reminders sit in one dashboard where you can edit or delete them. For automation fans, you can add a webhook URL that receives a POST request whenever a reminder fires, so you could log it or send it to Zapier or Make. The developer has confirmed the webhook is sent from your browser. ### Where Tab Reminder falls short - **No real discount.** AppSumo shows no list price, and a Chrome Web Store review mentions the same $2.99 for the upgrade. Buying through AppSumo gets you its 60-day refund window, not a lower price. - **It needs Chrome running.** Reminders are Chrome notifications and the webhook fires from the browser, so they rely on your computer being on with Chrome running. There's no phone app. - **Mixed ratings outside AppSumo.** It averages 4.7 tacos from 46 AppSumo reviews, but 3.7 stars from 19 ratings on the Chrome Web Store, where it has about 2,000 users. - **A one-person project.** The extension was last updated in April 2026, so it's maintained, but the only founder update on AppSumo is from 2021 and feedback goes through Google Docs. - **Firefox is unclear.** There's a Firefox version, but the listing doesn't say whether the AppSumo code unlocks it. ### Tab Reminder pricing The extension is free to install, and 20-minute reminders are free. Unlocking every reminder time, snooze, the dashboard and webhooks is a one-time **$2.99** on AppSumo, with lifetime access, all future updates and 60 days to redeem the code. It isn't stackable, and there's nothing to stack. Prices are in USD, checked on 1 November 2026. Inside the extension, the upgrade appears to cost the same, so the decision is really whether $2.99 is worth it to you, not which store is cheaper. AppSumo's 60-day refund is a small advantage. The listing is managed by the developer and not vetted by AppSumo, so the extended "We Got Your Back" guarantee doesn't apply. ### What other buyers are saying AppSumo buyers like that it's simple, reliable and does exactly one thing. Several say it helped them stop keeping dozens of tabs open, and they like that the tab reopens automatically. The most common criticism is that free alternatives exist, and AppSumo's review summary mentions requests for more custom intervals and a public roadmap. I couldn't find any video reviews of this extension. ### My verdict If you treat open tabs as reminders, Tab Reminder is a cheap, focused fix, and $2.99 once is hard to argue with. If you already live in a to-do app that saves web pages, or you need reminders on your phone, you can skip it. If you want it, [get Tab Reminder on AppSumo](https://appsumo.8odi.net/xJaY9y) and you'll have 60 days to change your mind. ## FAQs ### How much does Tab Reminder cost? It's free to install, with free 20-minute reminders. The full version is $2.99 once on AppSumo, which appears to be the same price as the in-extension upgrade (checked 1 November 2026). ### Do reminders work when Chrome is closed? No. Reminders are Chrome notifications and webhooks are sent from the browser, so Chrome needs to be running when a reminder is due. ### Does Tab Reminder work on Firefox? There's a Firefox version by the same developer, but the AppSumo listing doesn't say whether the code unlocks it. Ask the developer before buying if you need it. ### Does Tab Reminder collect my data? The developer states on the Chrome Web Store that the extension doesn't collect or use your data. ### Can I get a refund? AppSumo offers a 60-day refund. The listing is managed by the developer and isn't covered by AppSumo's extended "We Got Your Back" guarantee. ## Alternatives - Todoist: choose it instead if you want web-page reminders inside a full to-do list that also works on your phone - OneTab: choose it instead if you just want to clear many tabs at once into a saved list, without reminders
