The app automatically tracks inventory changes and sends restock emails without any manual work.
Stocky shut down on August 31, 2026, taking its daily low-stock email with it. Restock Digest brings it back. Every morning you get one email listing each variant at or below its threshold, grouped by vendor. Mark a row ordered to snooze it for 7 days while the purchase order is on its way. It clears itself when stock recovers. Set a shop-wide threshold, override it per variant, and choose the location to watch.
