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.

User Reviews

Users praise the app for being simple, effective, and affordable, with per-tab refresh timings and a usable custom interval feature. However, recurring complaints focus on reliability issues after updates, inconsistent performance across devices (notably iPad and iOS 17), unclear on/off indicators, and limited timing options with no countdown or keyboard input. Installation/settings can be confusing, and several reviews report the extension failing to start or stay connected. Overall, strong concept and potential when it functions, but maintenance and cross-device reliability are major concerns.

Pros

Simple, easy to use and effective
Per-tab timing with different refresh intervals
Custom interval override feature (tap timer to set 1 second to 10 minutes)
Easy to turn on / start and good value

Cons

Reliability and compatibility issues after updates; start button sometimes does nothing and extension can stop working on some devices
Unclear status indicators on/off (no clear countdown; red On bubble can be confusing)
Limited and non-precise timing options (no keyboard entry; no countdown; preset intervals like 1s/5s/10s only)
Setup/installation and settings are confusing; reports of iPad/iOS 17 issues and being stuck on 'turn on extension in settings' messages

The recent update fixes several bugs and adds the custom interval override feature. Just tap on the timer for the keyboard to enter a custom interval between 1 second and 10 minutes.
