Later — The essential Slack app for remote teams 🌎

Ever send Slack messages to coworkers in different time zones? Or use Slack after hours? Send your message with "/later" and Later will wait to deliver it until 9:00 AM in your recipient's time zone — or whenever Later spots your recipient online in Slack.

👋Hi folks! I created Later to solve a problem I've had every day since joining a remote team: I want to keep our conversations in Slack, but don't want to intrude on my coworkers after hours when they're in different time zones. Later has a few tricks that I continue to enjoy daily: - Later does the time zone math for you, automatically determining when 9:00 AM is in your recipient's time zone - Later watches for when your recipient comes online and delivers your message early if they go green before 9:00 AM (but you can disable early delivery for a message, too) - Messages are delivered as if you sent them (as opposed to Slack's built-in /remind, which sends messages out of context from Slackbot) - Later works in DMs and group DMs as well as public and private channels - handy for making morning announcements to a distributed team After months of use with my team, I'm excited to launch Later for anyone to try. I'd love to answer your questions 🙌
