Auto Reload Page

Features
Read full description

Auto Reload Page is a Safari extension that helps you refresh web pages faster and more conveniently on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Set an interval once, start auto reload, and keep pages updated without pulling to refresh again and again. It is especially useful for pages that update over time, such as live status pages, announcements, dashboards, booking pages, and websites that occasionally become slow or unresponsive. Similar apps on the App Store position themselves around automatic tab refresh, custom intervals, countdowns, and site-based controls, which fits this use case well. Features Quick reload for the current Safari page. Auto reload with your chosen interval. Easy start and stop controls from the Safari extension. Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac through Safari extension support. Clean and simple interface focused on fast page refreshing. Privacy Works on-device. No account required. No collection or transmission of your browsing history, page content, or usage data, if your implementation truly keeps all processing local and does not send any telemetry. App Store examples in this category commonly state that no data is collected and that browsing stays private. How to enable the Safari extension iPhone / iPad: Settings → Apps → Safari → Extensions → Auto Reload Page → Turn On. Safari extensions on iPhone and iPad are managed from Safari settings. Mac: Safari → Settings → Extensions → enable Auto Reload Page and allow website access as needed. Safari website permissions are controlled by the user and can be granted per site.
