Refresher© 1.2 FREE*
Refresher is the first and only browser of its kind to have a dual pane (two webpages) open simultaneously side-by-side. Easily resize each pane to suit your requirements.

Open as many new tabs in Refresher as you require. Each tab can have its own dual pane view and each individual refresh and monitoring settings, making them completely independent.

A quick and convenient tool giving your the ability to resolve an I.P. (Internet Protocol) Address or a domain name. Enter the I.P. Address or domain name into the allocated boxes in the I.P. Tool and click resolve. The results will then be displayed at the bottom of the window. The I.P. Tool also states the I.P. address and host name of your computer.

If you need to remind yourself to send an important email in a couple of hours, need to complete a task at a certain time or remind yourself of an on-line auction nearing to an end, simply set a PC Reminder. A PC Reminder can be set at a specific time within a 24 hour period, or with a count down timer within 100 hours. The purpose of the PC Reminder is not to be a complete scheduling tool, but for one-off reminders. Each time you open Refresher, another PC Reminder may be set.

The PC Reminder can be set to alert silently, beep once, or if you are away from the computer it can repeatedly beep until you return. If you are currently busy with a task and the PC Reminder activates, set a time and press 'Snooze' in the reminder box. The PC Reminder will then go into a sleep mode, whereby it will remind you once again when the snooze time has passed.


Quick PC Reminder pre-configures itself instantly for you based on the selected time in the web browser. For example, if you highlight "13:31" in a web browser and select Quick PC Reminder, the reminder will alert you 15 minutes before the selected time. So in this instance, you will be notified of your reminder at "13:16". This can be used when reading a deadline time in which to reply to a web mail or when selecting the end time of an auction. The 'Title' of the reminder is set to the name of the web page you selected to start the Quick PC Reminder and the 'Message' is set to the web site address (URL). Therefore, when the reminder activates you can see where the reminder was set.

You are able to snooze the Quick PC Reminder when it notifies you of the reminder just as you would the PC Reminder. The PC Reminder and Quick PC Reminder use the same engine, therefore open another Refresher window if you would like to set another PC Reminder.


The PC Timer can be used to shutdown, restart or log you off the computer. A PC Timer can be set at a specific time within a 24 hour period, or with a count down timer within 100 hours. PC Timer maybe used if you are waiting for information to finish downloading, burning a CD or simply will be away from the computer when you need to complete one of the above actions.


Refresher Quick Links are used temporarily store to favourite links to items interest on the web. For example for quick references between several web sites, rather than having multiple tabs open or re-arranging your favourites.


Create your own web pages with this basic HTML editor. You can save and open pages and preview the HTML in the 'Preview' tab to see how you code has turned out.


The Auction Template makes it very quick and simple to make highly attractive auction listings. You can customise and save your auction listings however you like using the simple settings in the Refresher Auction Template.

Refresher© 1.3 PRO (Including Above)

Automatically cycle through pre-entered links every x seconds for an unlimited or pre-determined time/number of cycles. Get notified (by sounds/pop-up) when the next link is shown.

This can be displayed in full screen, useful for galleries, statistical monitoring areas, work place or foyers. Simply enter the URL, the time to wait on the page before moving to the next, set the notification level (i.e. on-screen popup) and then you are away!


Monitor a web page (i.e. a word or any change whatsoever) on as many web pages as you like and get notified by email, SMS, Beep, Custom Sound or an onscreen pop-up. The email notification can send the web page in an HTML email, or send the web page as an attachment on the email. Monitors the removal of words, addition of words or any change within the web page that you set.


Visit a URL from a different Proxy Server (IP address). Import or create your own list of proxy servers. Great for increasing web page hits/plays or testing the load on your own servers.


If a web page is changed you may want to know what has changed. Just before each page refresh, the webpage can be emailed to any email address. Very useful if you are away from Refresher.


The Refresher Tab Cycle allows each tab to be viewed in order (from left to right) every x seconds. The user can specify the Tab Cycle frequency by clicking on "Start Tab Cycle".


The Keyboard Macro Recorder tool plays a given set of commands executed by the keyboard. This is a useful utility should you have a task which you have to repetitively type the same commands/text or any action which can be performed with a mouse that can be replicated with keyboard commands.

Send your own Macro's to us and we will publish them to a gallery of all user submitted Marco's.


The Refresher Get Links tool retrieves links for a web site. Click the "Custom" radio button and enter in the desired web site using the http://www.mywebsite.com format or click the "Current Page" radio button to retrieve the links of the current page in Refresher. You can export the links as CSV, TXT or XLS format.


Refresher 1.3 PRO gives the user the ability to Refresh a web page every one second, whereas Refresher 1.2 is limited.


Whether you are surfing the web or browsing through images, you may see a colour which you like and would like to know the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) value, Hex value or VB (Visual Basic) value. To do this, you can use the Colour Picker tool. Also includes the history of previously selected colours for you to refer to later.


Should you need to check if a year is a leap year, simply run the Lear Year Checker tool. Enter a year and click "Check" to automatically determine if the entered year is a leap year or scroll through each year manually to determine if it is a leap year.


Increase page hits or test the load on your servers by refreshing a page every one second. Unlike Refresher 1.2, Refresher 1.3 PRO does not have a limit to the number of seconds each refresh can occur.
