How it works
Click the zzzTab icon and type in the box in the popup. Under it, zzzTab shows the exact day and time it understood. If that is right, press Snooze. If it is not what you meant, change the phrase.
It never guesses: if it doesn’t understand what you typed, it snoozes nothing. It also understands English and Spanish: “tomorrow 9” and “mañana 9” do the same.
Amounts of time
For “in a while”. Hours and minutes count from now; days, weeks and months land on your morning time.

For when you don’t care about the exact minute. Type “tonight” or “tomorrow afternoon” and zzzTab picks that part of the day. You can see the exact time it chose before you confirm.

Phrases that repeat
If you start with “every” (or “weekdays”, “daily”), the tab comes back again and again at its time instead of once.

Two special words

Your morning and afternoon times can be changed in Settings, under “Advanced”. In the popup, the “How to type” link opens a guide with examples you can try live.
Questions
What if zzzTab doesn’t understand what I typed?
It snoozes nothing. It never picks a time for you. Try a shorter phrase, like “tomorrow 9”.
Is it day/month or month/day?
Day first: “15/10” is the 15th of October.
Can I type in Spanish?
Yes. zzzTab understands English and Spanish phrases: “tomorrow 9” and “mañana 9” do the same.
Do I have to type? Can I use buttons?
No, you can also use the quick buttons, like tomorrow or the weekend, or the calendar. Typing is just the fastest.
