Simple Refresh brings automatic webpage refresh functionality to Safari on iOS and macOS.
Stop manually refreshing pages—let Simple Refresh do it for you.
With an intuitive slider interface or direct input, set your preferred refresh interval from
1 second to 10 minutes and let the extension handle the rest. Each Safari tab maintains its
own refresh settings, so you can monitor multiple pages simultaneously with different refresh
rates.
Key Features:
- Automatic page refresh at customizable intervals (1s, 5s, 15s, 30s, 1m, 2m, 5m, 10m, or any
custom interval between 1s and 10m)
- Live countdown timer shows time remaining until next refresh
- Slider control or click-to-edit display for flexible input
- Independent refresh settings for each tab
- Visual "On" badge shows active refresh status
- Settings persist across browser sessions
- Efficient battery usage with smart refresh engine
- Available in 27 languages
- Works on both iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Perfect for:
- Monitoring live scores, stock tickers, and weather updates
- Watching for content changes without manual refreshing
- Development and testing workflows
- Any webpage that updates frequently
Simple Refresh focuses on doing one thing well: refreshing webpages automatically. No complex
setup, no unnecessary features—just reliable, automatic refresh when you need it.
It works as expected, including only with a single tab if you have multiple tabs open. The problem I have is that it just shows a red “On” bubble over the icon in the Safari menu bar. This is a good indicator, but please change it to show a countdown of time remaining.
Does what it says

I was finally able to get a limited item on a web site that goes as soon as they are posted. I did have to camp on the website to watch the majical refreshes happen and then, bam! the item I was wanted showed availabe :) Too bad Apple limits develpers and does not alow push notifications in apps like this so I did'nt have to camp on the site but this beat the alternative of having to keep clicking. Thanks guys!
Perfect solution

This is a perfect solution for anyone wanting multiple tabs to have different timing for being refreshed- very intuitive. No need for watching videos or reading instructions. All you have to do is turn on the extension and that's it. Thank you so much for developing this.
Very nice misisng one feature

This does the job. One thing I wish it had is a keyboard shortcut to start/stop it (for start, have a default interval.).
What’s New in Version 3.6.0
• Added a disclaimer in the iOS instructions for refresh intervals under 30 seconds
• Added an in-app disclaimer in the extension when using refresh intervals under 30 seconds
• Improved reliability and recovery for sub-30-second refresh timers
• Increased the minimum supported iOS version to 16.6
This update improves clarity around shorter refresh intervals and makes timer behavior more stable overall.
