Total Refresh for Safari
🇰🇷 KR LocalizedScreenshots
Description
Total Refresh is a Safari extension for iOS and macOS that reloads all browser tabs at once. Tap the toolbar icon to refresh every open tab and pull the latest content. On macOS, choose your refresh scope from the extension menu: all tabs in all windows, just the current window, or only the active tab. You can also trigger it from the keyboard shortcut (default MacCtrl+Shift+R). Getting started is simple: install the app, enable the extension in Safari, and grant the required permissions. The app includes step‑by‑step instructions for iOS and macOS.
What's New
- Added support for 28 languages with improved localization throughout. - Localized the keyboard shortcut description and kept your refresh scope setting between sessions. - Fixed macOS metadata to align with the iOS Info.plist.

User Reviews
I have a window of tabs that I refresh daily so thought this would save me a few seconds. When I invoke it some windows are refreshed but some are not so I still have to check and it saves me nothing.
Works great, reloads all my tabs that are in a tab group at a click
I’m so frustrated by this app and documentation at this point. The App Store page says it comes with a guide, online instructions say there should be a way to toggle it to only the current window, and I think MAYBE I saw that option when first downloading, but I can’t find anywhere in my Mac or the app menu to check/change this option. Even when uninstalling app, when I re-download it from the App Store to trigger a setup wizard or something, it just defaults back to the current settings where there’s no way to change it. I’m a user who tends to keep a few different windows open for various projects, and when I revisit a project I just want all those tabs to refresh. This app defaults to refreshing ALL tabs across ALL windows which is a significant drag on computer resources, for tabs I have no intention of using today.
As reported by some of the other users, this app was in a state of disrepair, but has since been updated to work for the latest macOS. Works great!
The latest update seems to have fixed all the bugs that some of the other reviews mention
The option to only refresh the tabs on the current active window doesn’t seem to work. Like another reviewer noted, this extension works… sort of. Every time I activate it, it refreshes every tab I have across all 3 of my Safari windows. I really wish he would fix this and it would be perfect if it worked like it was supposed to.
I do not recommend at all
Perhaps the fault is mine. I have tabs set up on Safari that open automatically every time I start the browser. Those tabs are for specific pages. Throughout the day, while using the tabs, I may venture off to another page. I had hoped that TOTAL REFRESH would load those tabs back to their original home page. This does not seem to be the case at all. This is odd, as Chrome offers a free extension that when activated, resets all tabs back to their designated page. I will be seeking a refund on this app
Every time I pressed the button, it started at the top of the list of tabs and not continuing further but instead back at the beginning. It also always stopped at 11 tabs, and it also goes too fast where i get a "I'm not a robot" captcha on each tab it went through, where I have to then manually get it off. This is a great idea for an app but honestly I don't think this is working anymore at all because it just adds more inconvenience.
you cannot set a specific time to reload a single tab
