Can you recommend a reliable app for scheduling theme updates?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Request for a reliable, ideally Shopify-endorsed way to schedule theme updates, plus whether scheduling a theme publish is possible without using an app.

Recommendations shared (no consensus):

  • Starlight Scheduler: linked via a Shopify Community post announcing a new app.
  • Theme Scheduler Pro: recommended by its developer; claims operation since 2019 and use by hundreds of stores.
  • Maestro Theme Scheduler: suggested as a strong option, noted as widely recommended by users.

Key gaps and status:

  • No confirmation of an official Shopify-recommended app.
  • No clear answer provided on a native (built-in) way to schedule theme publication without an app.

Is there a Shopify recommended app to schedule a theme update? I understand that there are a handful of apps out there, but I just want to make sure that the one I choose is 100% reliable!! Does anyone have one that they wholeheartedly recommend?

Alternatively, is there a way to schedule a theme publication without the use of an app?

Thanks in advance!

A little biased here but I’d recommend an app I developed to schedule themes: https://apps.shopify.com/theme-scheduler-pro

We’ve been around since 2019 and have helped hundreds of stores schedule updates to their theme.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.
