Every app can change your store.
Mack keeps watch.
Don't wait for something to break. Mack keeps an eye on your apps and theme and flags risky changes early. If something does go wrong, he shows you which app most likely did it and helps you put it right.
"Every broken store has a culprit. I simply find it."
A look inside Mack's toolkit
These are the tabs you'll find in the app. Pick one to see what it does.
Dashboard
Your store at a glance. See your risk level, how many apps and theme files Mack is watching, when it last checked, and the next thing worth doing.
"The whole case, on one page."
Apps
Every app that adds code or scripts to your store, each with a risk score, plus any app code written straight into your theme files. See which ones are most likely to cause trouble.
"Every suspect, lined up."
Conflicts
Check whether any of your apps are known to clash with each other, so you can act before they break something.
"Some apps simply cannot share a room."
Leftover Code
Scan your theme for code left behind by apps you've uninstalled. Old code like this can slow your store down and clash with the apps you use now.
"The app has gone. Its fingerprints have not."
Timeline
See how your store's performance changed after each app was installed or updated, so you can spot the moment things went wrong.
"Follow the clues back to the moment it changed."
Rollback
Pick a date and put your theme back to how it was. You can also restore single files and see a record of every restore. Restore is on the Detective and Pro plans.
"Let us put things back as they were."
Community
See problems other store owners have reported with your apps on Reddit and community forums, and report an app yourself.
"Store owners talk. I listen."

Why stores break without warning
Most of the time you never see it. Until something breaks.
"The app world is the Wild West. Lucky for you, I'm the sheriff."
Apps edit your theme
Reviews, popups, upsells and page builders all add code to your theme, and updates can change it again without asking.
They leave code behind
Uninstall an app and its code often stays, slowing your store and clashing with the apps you add next.
Finding the culprit takes days
Guessing, uninstalling apps one by one and waiting on support, while sales slip away.
How it works
No code to add and nothing on your storefront. Mack works quietly in the background.
"I do my best work in the small hours, while your store sleeps."
