Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureStocky 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.
StockGlow watches your inventory and emails you before products sell out. Set a low stock threshold, choose who gets the alert, and pick the timing: instant, daily, weekly, or monthly digest. Send alerts straight to your suppliers so restocking starts before the stockout, not after. One quiet email at the right time replaces spreadsheet checks and sold-out surprises.
