About QuietRefresh: Auto Refresh When Away
Most auto-refresh extensions reload the page no matter what, even while you're scrolling, reading, or halfway through typing a reply. QuietRefresh only refreshes when you're not looking.
How it works
• Pick an interval (30 seconds to 1 hour) and click Start.
• While the tab is in front of you and you're active, QuietRefresh holds off.
• Switch tabs, move to another window, minimize, or step away from the computer, and refreshing picks up again.
• Great for dashboards on a second monitor, order queues, ticket portals, class-registration and appointment pages, live scores, and status pages.
Free
• Auto-refresh one tab at a time
• Pause-while-looking (focus + idle detection)
• Refresh counter and last-refresh time
Pro ($4.99 one-time, buy at https://quietrefresh.vercel.app, then paste the license key in Options)
• Keyword alerts: get a desktop notification when text like "In stock" or "Available" appears
• Unlimited tabs at once
Privacy
No account. No servers. No analytics. Settings stay in your browser. Site access is only requested if you turn on keyword alerts.
Note: Chrome limits extension timers to a minimum of 30 seconds, so that's the shortest interval.
