Press Ctrl+L (Windows) or Cmd+L (Mac) from anywhere — any app, any window — to instantly capture a task. No switching tabs, no lost context.
Lifr lives in your system tray. One click to check your next task or add something new. It's there when you need it, invisible when you don't.
Tasks you add offline queue automatically and sync when you reconnect. Works on planes, in basements, and in spotty hotel WiFi.
Separate from your browser session — no tab to accidentally close, no memory fighting with your other apps, no "where did I put that tab?"
Because Lifr is an independent app from a small team, Windows SmartScreen will show a warning the first time you run the installer. This is expected — the app is safe.
To proceed:
We're working toward code signing certificates — this warning will disappear in a future release. If you have concerns, contact us and we'll walk you through it.
The desktop app checks for updates automatically. When a new version is available, you'll see a notification in the tray — click to update in the background. No manual reinstalls needed.
