Read-later reminders

Schedule an email nudge for a bookmark in your queue.

When a bookmark is in your read-later queue, you can pick a reminder time. Cowpin emails you on the due date (via the daily cron) with links back to the item.

Set a reminder

  1. Open the bookmark (Edit view).
  2. Ensure it is in read-later (clock icon / Add to read-later).
  3. Under Email me when it's time to read this, choose Tomorrow or In 1 week, or Clear reminder.

Reminders are stored on the bookmark (readLaterRemindAt). Marking the item read clears the reminder.

Delivery

  • Runs on the daily server cron (same schedule as trial reminders).
  • Requires a verified email on your account.
  • One email may list several due bookmarks; after send, those reminder dates are cleared so you are not spammed.

Weekly digest email (Settings → Weekly digest) is separate — it summarizes saves and suggests focus picks, not per-bookmark schedules.
