Frequently asked questions
Saving
How do I save something to Laterwise?
iPhone and iPad: tap Share in any app (Safari, Photos, Files, Mail, YouTube…) and choose Laterwise. If you don't see it, scroll the row of apps to the end, tap More, and add Laterwise to your favorites.
Mac: press ⌥⌘S from any app to save the clipboard or a screenshot, or drop a link, file or image on the Quick Capture panel. You can also select text or files and choose Services › Save to Laterwise, or use Share.
What is "why did you save this" for?
When you save, you can tap a reason: read, buy, try, go, decide, reference, or for someone. Laterwise uses it to sort the save and to decide when to bring it back. If you skip it, Laterwise suggests one, and you can change it any time.
I saved a highlight from Safari. How do I get back to it?
Open the item and tap Open. Safari scrolls to the passage you highlighted and marks it.
Screenshot Rescue
What does Screenshot Rescue do?
On iPhone and iPad, it brings the screenshots in your Photos library into Laterwise, reads the text in them, and sorts them into receipts, tickets, events, recipes, quotes, products and more. Open Screenshots in the sidebar to start, or accept the offer when you first open the app.
Will it delete my photos?
Only if you ask it to. Clean Up Photos deletes the screenshots that are already in Laterwise, and iOS asks you to confirm first. Deleted screenshots stay in Photos › Recently Deleted for 30 days, and they stay in Laterwise, searchable by their text.
It's taking a while. Can I leave the app?
Yes. The import keeps going in the background, with progress shown by the system. Sorting a large library on the device can take a while longer, and it carries on whenever Laterwise is open.
Laterwise says it can't see my photos.
Open Settings › Privacy & Security › Photos › Laterwise and choose Full Access, or Limited Access with the screenshots you want to include.
Sorting and Apple Intelligence
Which devices sort and summarize my saves?
Titles, summaries and dates come from Apple Intelligence on your device. On a device without Apple Intelligence, Laterwise still saves, reads text and searches, with simpler titles. When iCloud sync is on, a device that has Apple Intelligence improves those saves, and the results appear on your other devices too.
Is my content sent to a server for AI?
No. The AI runs on your device. See the privacy policy.
iCloud sync
How do I sync between my iPhone, iPad and Mac?
Sign in to the same Apple Account with iCloud on each device. Sync is on by default; check Laterwise › Settings › iCloud. Sync Now fetches and sends right away.
My saves aren't showing up on another device.
Check that iCloud is on for the device and has free storage, that both devices use the same Apple Account, and that Settings › iCloud in Laterwise doesn't show a message. Then tap Sync Now on both devices. Large files can take longer than the rest.
Can I save iCloud space?
Turn off Sync Original Files in Settings. Titles, notes, text, summaries and small previews still sync; the full-size originals stay on the device you saved them on.
Moments and the Weekly Review
What are Moments?
Notifications that bring a save back when it's useful: the evening before an event, the day before a deadline or sale ends, five and one days before a plan's date, and the morning an action is due. You can set how many a day and quiet hours in Settings. Moments are part of Laterwise Pro.
I stopped getting a kind of reminder.
If you dismiss the same kind of reminder three times in a row, Laterwise pauses it for 30 days. Opening or acting on one resets that.
What is the Weekly Review?
A short stack of cards on the day and time you choose: what's coming up, this week's saves, and things you haven't touched in a month. Do it, keep it or toss it. The Weekly Review is free.
Laterwise Pro
What does Pro add?
Moments, Briefs for every group and plan, and unlimited suggested groups. Saving, search, your library, sync, Screenshot Rescue and the Weekly Review are always free. See pricing.
I bought Pro but the app doesn't show it.
Open Settings › Laterwise Pro and tap Restore Purchases, signed in to the App Store with the Apple Account you bought it with. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.
How do I cancel my subscription?
On iPhone or iPad: Laterwise › Settings › Laterwise Pro › Manage Subscription, or Settings › [your name] › Subscriptions. On Mac: App Store › your name › Account Settings › Subscriptions. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
How do I ask for a refund?
Refunds are handled by Apple. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com and choose the Laterwise purchase.
