- Use your text editor of choice to edit theme files
- Automatically keep theme files in sync
- Manage multiple shops and themes at once
The Shopify Desktop Theme editor for OS X lets you sync your local theme files with your live Shopify store's theme. This means you can use any code editor (Sublime, TextMate) to modify Shopify theme assets and they will automatically be uploaded to your store.

Big problems when using precompilers. I use CodeKit and the app crashes whenever a newly compiled .css or .js file is uploaded. Useful app, but it is rendered useless with this bug.
It's very buggy, and it doesn't play well at all with pre compilers or task runners like Coffee Script or Gruntjs. It will upload the correct file about 20% of the time and crash about 70% of the time.
I downloaded it to check it out and it's so buggy I can't even open it to play around.
A very useful tool to help automate the process of designing a Shopify theme, though it's quite buggy and crashes a lot.
Really Great!!! :D
Excellent app, wouldn't want to work on Shopify without it!
Its crashed always on start up on 10.8.3 any help ??ß
This a Godsend, I was so tired of fighting with packages that sometimes worked and sometimes did not. Thank YOU!
Wow! So far, so good...this is amazing!!!
Nice to have an external uploader back again. Having some trouble getting myshopify.com to serve updated images.
WOW - I second what ICICLES said. I can't believe I was working through the web admin instead of this! HUGE help.
What a godsend! A few bugs/kinks to iron out but *drastically* improved the theme-building workflow. Thanks guys!
I wish I had looked for this sooner, I've been designing in the admin area and let's just say it's not super friendly for those of us that know what we're doing with code! Loving this, works perfectly with my local editor. good job!
Great, Only request is that, I wish it worked on Windows, So my work mate could use it to collaborate.
Two-way sync to check that no-one naughty has used the online editor to change a file since the first download would be nice, but even without, this greatly improves the template editing process. Thanks.
Can't imagine working without the added flexibility that this app gives me.
The app doesnt detect files added to folders. Only new saves. So you still have to upload those manually. Other than that is a huge improvement.
I’ve been using this app for little while now, and I must say it’s great! I’m new to Shopify but I don’t know how designers/developers would have ever worked without something like this!
I was a beta tester of this app ... it is amazing in every possible way. Markedly speeds up theme development.
