Auto Refresh Plus allows you to manage your account and keep your settings synchronized across multiple devices. It enables you to create a primary control device, connect secondary devices using sync keys, and organize configurations using settings profiles. This system ensures your setup stays consistent, centralized, and easy to manage, while giving you flexibility to run different configurations across different devices.
Sync Settings allows you to synchronize Auto Refresh Plus settings across multiple devices using your Auto Refresh Plus account.
What Gets Synchronized?
Sync Settings synchronizes both:
This includes refresh intervals, Hard Refresh, monitor settings, keywords, notifications, auto-start options, and most website-specific configurations.
How It Works
Auto Refresh Plus uses a profile-based system.
Any changes made to the profile are automatically synchronized to all devices using that profile.
The Main Benefit
The biggest advantage of Sync Settings is centralized control.
Instead of managing every computer individually, you manage profiles from a single Master Device.
For example:
You can assign 5 devices to each profile and run 4 completely different operations at the same time.
Need to change keywords, monitor settings, refresh intervals, or Hard Refresh?
Simply select the profile on your Master Device, make the changes, and all assigned Slave Devices will automatically receive the updated settings in real time.
In most cases, Slave Devices only need to press Start and will continue following the profile configuration automatically.
Why Can't I Edit Some Settings?
If you see a message such as:
"You cannot modify this option because you are a slave user."
This is expected behavior.
Slave Devices follow the profile configuration from the Master Device. To make changes, edit the profile on the Master Device and the updates will automatically synchronize to all assigned devices.
Configuration
The Devices section in Auto Refresh Plus allows you to manage all devices connected to your setup when Sync Settings is enabled.
There are two types of devices:
Primary Device (Master) The Primary Device is the main control device. This is the only device that requires login using your Auto Refresh Plus account (email and password).
From the Primary Device, you can:
Only one Primary Device can exist per setup, and it acts as the central controller.
Secondary Devices (Slave) Secondary Devices do not require login. Instead, they connect using a Sync Key generated from the Primary Device.
To connect a Secondary Device:
Once connected, Secondary Devices automatically receive and follow the configurations assigned by the Primary Device.
Devices can be grouped under different Settings Profiles. This allows you to run different configurations across devices. For example, one group can run a monitoring setup while another group runs a different refresh configuration.
From the Devices section, you can:
This setup allows you to control multiple devices from one central Primary Device while keeping everything organized and synchronized.
Configuration
Settings Profiles in Auto Refresh Plus allow you to create and manage different groups of configurations. Each profile can have its own refresh settings, monitoring rules, and automation preferences.
This feature is especially useful when you use Auto Refresh Plus for different tasks or across multiple devices, where each setup requires a different configuration.
For example, you can create:
Settings Profiles are managed from the Primary Device (master). The Primary Device creates and controls all profiles, while Secondary Devices (slave devices) are assigned to specific profiles.
Each Secondary Device automatically follows the configuration of the profile it is assigned to. This allows different devices to run completely different setups at the same time.
Using Settings Profiles helps keep your monitoring organized, flexible, and easy to manage, especially when working with multiple devices under one system.

Refresh Controls
Auto Refresh Plus includes all tools related to managing how and when a webpage refreshes, offering options such as predefined intervals, custom timing, random refresh patterns, countdown timers, and refresh limits. These controls allow you to fine-tune refresh behavior based on your needs, whether you want consistent updates, controlled timing, or more dynamic refresh patterns, giving you full flexibility and precise control over how the extension operates.
URL & Tab Automation
Auto Refresh Plus extends refresh controls with advanced automation features that manage how specific URLs and browser tabs behave during refresh cycles. It allows you to automatically start refresh on selected URLs, manage active tabs, handle URL changes and redirections, and detect conditions such as captchas or error pages. These features are designed for more advanced use cases, giving you greater control and automation over multiple tabs and dynamic browsing scenarios beyond basic interval-based refreshing.
Page Monitor
Auto Refresh Plus adds intelligent monitoring on top of refresh controls, allowing you to detect changes on a webpage based on keywords, expressions, or content updates. Instead of simply refreshing at intervals, it enables the extension to react to specific conditions such as text appearing, disappearing, or changing, making it ideal for tracking availability, price updates, notifications, or dynamic content. With multiple monitoring modes, detection methods, and advanced options, it provides precise control over when and how actions should be triggered during the refresh process.
Advanced Monitoring
Auto Refresh Plus enhances Page Monitor by adding more precise control and automated actions when changes are detected. It allows you to focus on specific areas of a webpage, highlight detected keywords, automatically scroll to matched content, and even trigger actions like auto-clicking. These features are designed for users who need faster response, better visibility, and deeper control over how monitoring behaves on dynamic or complex pages.
