Leftover App Script Cleaner
The Opportunity
An app that detects and removes leftover theme code, scripts, pixels, and UI fragments after an app is uninstalled. It helps merchants quickly restore site functionality without hiring a developer.
"Merchants uninstall apps but the app’s code or assets remain on the storefront, causing broken images, layout issues, or lingering widgets they cannot find in the admin."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide automatic scan-and-clean for app embeds, theme snippets, script tags, pixels, and injected assets, plus a safe rollback checklist and one-click removal guidance for each installed app.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants who frequently test apps and non-technical store owners troubleshooting theme issues
Competitive Landscape
Theme cleaner apps, app uninstaller tools, support tools from some app vendors
Implementation Notes
Use Shopify APIs to list installed apps and detect app embeds, theme app extensions, script tags, and legacy snippet references in theme files; provide a guided cleanup flow with warnings for code not owned by the app, backups, and support for common leftover artifacts like image placeholders, CSS, and JavaScript injections.
