About

GitHub Actions Smart Auto-Refresher keeps your GitHub Actions pages up to date without constant manual refreshing. It watches your workflow runs and only reloads the page when a run is queued, pending, waiting, running or in progress, so you always see the latest status without hammering refresh.

Features:

🔄 Intelligent auto-refresh that only runs when workflows are active

🧠 Advanced detection of GitHub status indicators (icons, aria-labels, status text and spinners)

🚀 Full support for GitHub’s single-page navigation, so it keeps working as you move between runs and views

🟢🔴 One-click enable/disable toggle in the popup

⏱ Adjustable refresh interval with a simple slider

🕒 Popup dashboard showing time since last refresh and the countdown to the next check

🔒 No data collection, no tracking, no external requests – all logic runs locally in your browser

Designed for developers who keep the Actions tab open while iterating on pull requests, debugging builds or monitoring deployments.
