Auto-refresh any tab.
Without giving it access to your pages.
QuietReload reloads tabs on a timer, with a countdown on the toolbar badge. It asks for just two permissions, alarms and storage, so it can't read or change the websites you visit.
Free for 7 days, no sign-up. Then $1.99 once. Not a subscription.
4s
Does one thing, and stays out of the way
Per-tab timers
Set a different interval for each tab, from 5 seconds to 24 hours. Use as many tabs as you like.
Countdown on the badge
See the time to the next reload right on the toolbar icon. Start or stop in one click.
Your browsing stays private
No analytics, no remote code, and it never sees your pages. The only network traffic is to the payment service, and only after you choose to buy or restore.
Permissions, in plain English
In 2025 a popular auto-refresh extension with about 100,000 users was found loading hidden code, and in 2026 it was taken off the store.[1] An auto-refresh tool shouldn't need the keys to your browser.
QuietReload asks for
alarms: a wake-up timer so reloads keep going while the browser is idle.storage: remembers your timers, on your device only.- No “Read and change all your data on all websites”, no
tabs(it can't even see your tab titles or URLs), no cookies, no browsing history.
What about payment?
- The 7-day trial runs on your device. No email, no account, no network requests.
- When you choose to buy, ExtensionPay and Stripe handle the payment on their own pages. QuietReload never sees your card.
- After that, QuietReload asks
extensionpay.comwhether you've paid. That needs no extra permission, and Chrome shows no warning at install.

FAQ
Why only two permissions?
Chrome can reload a tab and show a badge with no special access. A timer that survives idle needs alarms, and saving your settings needs storage. That's all it uses.
Can I use it to grab tickets or limited stock?
Please check the rules of the site first. Many sites forbid automated reloading. QuietReload won't auto-click or auto-buy, and reloads stay at 5 seconds or slower.
Why not a subscription?
It's a small tool. Pay once, keep it.
What happens after the trial?
Timers stop and the popup offers a one-time purchase of $1.99. Already paid on another browser? Press Restore purchase and confirm the email you paid with.
Refunds?
Email us within 14 days of purchase and we'll refund you.
