The problem

Manual refreshing is a terrible monitoring system.

When a page matters, a simple refresh loop is not enough. You need timing, conditions, alerts, and control over what happens next.

01 Pages change when you look away

Sales drops, appointment slots, stock pages, and dashboards can update while you are focused somewhere else.

02 Basic refresh extensions are blind

They reload the page, but they cannot tell you whether the keyword, section, or condition you care about appeared.

03 Uncontrolled refresh can break sessions

Redirects, scroll jumps, CAPTCHAs, and error pages need guardrails so a refresh task does not run off course.

Get started

Set up a smarter refresh task in seconds.

Open the extension on any supported page, choose your timing, add monitoring rules, and let the agent watch the tab.

01 Choose a refresh rhythm

Use a preset interval, enter a custom time, randomize between two values, or start after a countdown.

02 Add monitoring rules

Watch visible text or HTML source with keywords, regex, XPath, boolean logic, or a specific CSS selector area.

03 Pick the alert behavior

Notify, play a sound, focus the window, pause, stop, continue after alert, or send PRO email and webhook alerts.

Capabilities

A refresh tool with monitoring logic built in.

Auto Refresh Agent combines refresh scheduling, page scanning, safety controls, and multi-tab visibility in one compact extension.

Intervals, randomness, timers, and schedules.

Run a simple every-N-seconds refresh, randomize timing to avoid predictable reload patterns, start from a countdown, or limit refresh windows by day and time.

  • Preset, custom, and random interval modes
  • Countdown timer and target date/time starts
  • Schedule refresh windows by weekday and time

Monitor the exact content you care about.

Scan visible text or HTML source, monitor the full page or a selected area, and use keyword, regex, XPath, or boolean matching to detect important changes.

  • Text, regex, XPath, and boolean keyword types
  • Full-page or CSS selector based monitoring area
  • Real-time detection and keyword highlighting

Stay in control across every active tab.

See which tabs are refreshing, where alerts happened, and what the current status is. Pause, resume, or open active tabs without losing track.

  • Active tabs dashboard for running refresh tasks
  • Unread alert state for detected keywords
  • Status labels for running, paused, CAPTCHA, and error states
