Plain Refresh

Reload a tab on a timer, and get an alert when text on the page appears or disappears. No ads, no tracking.

Plain Refresh reloads a tab on a timer, and can alert you when text on the page changes. It was made for stock checks: tell it "Out of stock" and you'll know the moment that text disappears. REFRESH • 5s, 10s, 30s, 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m or 1h, or set your own (1 second to 24 hours) • Every tab has its own timer, shown on the toolbar badge • Optional hard refresh that skips the cache • Timers end when you close the tab or the browser TEXT ALERTS • Alert when text disappears ("Out of stock") or appears ("Add to cart") • Matching ignores capitals and extra spaces • Gives the page time to finish loading its content before deciding, so slow shop pages don't cause false alarms • When it fires you get a notification that stays until you click it, a red "!" on the toolbar, and refreshing stops so the page stays put PRIVACY • No ads, no analytics, no accounts • The extension makes no network requests of its own and sends nothing anywhere • No access to your sites by default. Text alerts ask Chrome for access to one site at a time, only when you set one up, and hand it back when you stop watching or close the tab
