Free tool · 12 decisions

Audit every app.
Break nothing.

Expose app cost and overlap, then protect data, workflows, theme code, and billing before you remove anything. No login and no checklist data leaves the page.

THE KEEP RULE

An app stays when it has a named owner, a measurable job, and evidence worth more than its total cost and exit risk.

Why the exit steps matter

Uninstall is not always cleanup.

Shopify’s current guidance says some apps add theme code that is not removed automatically, dependent workflows stop after uninstall, app data might not be recoverable, and app-managed inventory can require transfer or deletion.

Uninstalling stops future Shopify billing cycles, but a pending charge can remain. Apps billed directly by the developer need a separate cancellation.

Official sources: uninstalling apps ↗, managing apps ↗, and app charges ↗.

Safety boundary: this checklist is an editorial planning aid. Verify each app’s current instructions and use a qualified developer for theme or integration changes you cannot test safely.
