See every featureYour store just broke. Which app did it? Every app you add can change your theme. When something goes wrong, you can lose days guessing, uninstalling apps one by one and waiting on support while sales slip away. MacSleuth is your store’s detective. It backs up your theme, tracks every change apps make, names the app most likely behind it, and finds hidden code left by apps you deleted long ago.
When a signal approaches a dangerous threshold, you get an email or Slack alert before it becomes a problem. Run a one-time health check or enable daily automated monitoring.
