Or cycle a whole list.

Auto-Refresh mode — reload one tab on a timer
♻️ Auto-RefreshReload one tab on a timer

Two modes, that's it

Designed to do two jobs really well — nothing you have to learn.

♻️

Auto-refresh a tab

Reload one page every N seconds or minutes — dashboards, build status, live scores, queues. Even with the popup closed.

🔁

Cycle URL lists

Open a list of pages one by one in a single reused tab. Great for QA passes and link checks. Loop optional.

⏱️

Background countdown

The toolbar badge shows a live countdown to the next reload, so you always know where it's at.

🧊

Hard reload option

Bypass the cache to pull a genuinely fresh copy — handy for CDNs and changing dashboards.

⌨️

Keyboard shortcuts

Step through your list manually with Ctrl+Shift+← / whenever you want.

🔒

Private by design

No servers, no analytics, no tracking. Your URLs and settings stay in your browser only.

No account, no setup screen, no learning curve.

FAQ

Anything else? Email [email protected].

Is it really free?

Yes — free and ad-free, with no subscription. If it saves you time, a small tip is appreciated but never required.

Does it keep refreshing when the popup is closed?

Yes. The timer runs in the background service worker, so you can close the popup and switch tabs. The toolbar badge shows the live countdown.

Which tab does Auto-Refresh reload?

The tab that was active when you pressed Start. It keeps reloading that one. If you close that tab, refreshing stops automatically.

What's "hard reload"?

A normal reload can serve cached files. Hard reload forces Chrome to re-fetch everything from the server.

Do you collect my data?

No. There are no servers and no analytics. Your URLs and settings are stored locally via chrome.storage.local. See the privacy policy.
