Most Shopify export apps need to be installed from the App Store by someone with admin access to the store - fine if it’s your own store, a non-starter if you’re auditing a competitor’s catalog, prototyping a migration, or working with a client who hasn’t granted access yet.

This tool doesn’t touch the store’s admin at all. It reads /products.json, the public product feed any visitor’s browser can already see - so exporting a store’s catalog needs nothing more than that store being public and not password-protected.

The Chrome extension version works the same way: it runs from a normal browser tab on the store’s own storefront, never its admin panel.

That also means there’s no risk of leaving something behind - no app to later find in the store’s admin and remember to uninstall, no permission grant to revoke. The moment you close the tab, nothing about this tool remains connected to the store in any way, on either the website or the extension.
