I am looking for but cannot find the following:

An app that would allow you to schedule open apps to refresh in background. Examples:

1) an rss app that you could set to refresh every 30 minutes if open
2) gmail, mailbox and other messaging apps that will notify you of new messages but they don't actually download until you open the app.

I have seen this somewhat accomplished without a jailbreak using locations as a way to trigger updates (instapaper, downcast)

The old school backgrounder app I don't think would do this and it's not compatible with 6.1 anyway.

Anyone know of anything like this?
