Diffy Theme Tools

I initially obtained this app to assist me with theme updates. Instead of automatically updating and losing all of my customizations, I can now view current theme files, side-by-side with the updated theme files, and add the updated code manually if I choose to do so.

Most theme updates include very minimal changes, and Diffy Theme Tools conveniently displays those exact changes and makes it easy to update manually with no loss of functionality of any third-party apps, or other customizations in my current theme.

So that’s why I got this app, and here’s why I’m keeping it. If you do any customizations to the code on your Shopify theme, I can’t tell you enough about how this app helps make life easier. The ability to instantly locate even the smallest piece of code, in any one of your theme files, is priceless; Not just for editing, but also for debugging. Making global changes across dozens of pages of code is no longer painful when you have such convenient access to all of the theme files and their contents.

And finally, Wade (the developer) deserves a separate 5 star review for exceptional customer service. I had mistakenly uninstalled this app from my Shopify dashboard and there was some sort of issue when reinstalling. I assume this had something to do with now having duplicate accounts. He got back to me right away, did some troubleshooting, and had me back up and running in no time.

The next time you’re dreading doing a manual theme update, or doing some customizations, get the free trial of this app and see how much easier it makes the process.

Excellent diff tool specialized in shopify theme. Very quick and easy to use. Saves a lot of time looking for changes of theme files. The history tracking changes is excellent.

Super helpful app. It has been saving a ton of time reviewing and comparing theme files for changes. I have been especially loving the new search and backup functions for theme files. I was able to find all the theme files with a specific keyword in an instant.

Saved tons of time by comparing all theme files and automatically flag any changes. Excellent UI and would be even better if I can download the changes.
