  description

  Reflow auto-refreshes any web page at the interval you choose. One click to start — tap a preset and it begins immediately. No setup wizard, no account, no bloat.
  
  WHAT MAKES REFLOW DIFFERENT
  
  → One-click start
  Tap a preset (5s, 10s, 30s, 1m, 2m, 5m, 10m, 30m) and it starts refreshing instantly. No "configure then click Start" two-step.
  
  → Hard refresh by default
  Every refresh bypasses the browser cache, so you always see live data — not stale cached pages. Essential for dashboards, trading platforms, and data portals.
  
  → Scroll position preserved
  Your scroll position is saved before each refresh and restored after. You won't lose your place in a long page or data table.
  
  → Domain memory
  Reflow remembers your interval and settings for each website. Visit your trading dashboard tomorrow and it already knows your preferences.
  
  → Reliable — never stops
  Built on Chrome's Alarms API with automatic recovery. The #1 complaint about other auto-refresh extensions is they randomly stop working. Reflow doesn't.
  
  → Lightweight
  The entire extension is 14KB. No tracking, no analytics, no account required. Your preferences stay in your browser.

  Reflow is free, open, and private. No data leaves your browser.

  Click a preset. The page refreshes. That's it.
  
  Reflow is the auto-refresh extension that gets out of your way. No setup screens, no accounts, no feature overload. Open the popup, tap an interval, and it starts immediately — one click, not two.
  
  Every refresh bypasses the browser cache by default, so you see live data, not what your browser remembered from ten minutes ago. Your scroll position is saved and restored after each reload, so you don't lose your place in a table or feed. And Reflow remembers your settings for each website — set 10 seconds on your trading dashboard once, and it's already configured next time you visit.
  
  Built for people who rely on fresh data:
  Traders watching price feeds. Developers testing local changes. Job seekers monitoring listings. Anyone refreshing a page to catch a ticket drop, appointment slot, or inventory restock. Anyone whose internal tools keep logging them out.
  
  Why people switch to Reflow:
  
  The most common complaint about other auto-refresh extensions is that they randomly stop working. Reflow uses Chrome's Alarms API with automatic recovery on wake — it doesn't stop until you tell it to.
  
  Presets: 5s, 10s, 30s, 1m, 2m, 5m, 10m, 30m — or enter any custom interval in seconds, minutes, or hours. A live countdown shows on the extension badge, inside the popup, and as a subtle pill on the page itself.
  
  Randomized interval mode adds jitter to your refresh timing, so sites with bot detection don't flag regular requests.
  
  The entire extension is 14KB. No tracking, no analytics, no data collection. Everything stays in your browser.
