What it does

Loman Maintenance Mode replaces the broken or half-finished store a shopper would otherwise find while you work. Put up a branded page, say when you will be back, and let a countdown do the explaining — then take it down in one click.

The part worth knowing before you set it up: maintenance is something you do while people still need access. A staff password lets you, your developer, and your support team keep using the live store while shoppers see the page, and a URL allowlist keeps chosen paths — support, a status page — reachable throughout.

What it deliberately does not do

There is no email capture, no analytics dashboard, and no A/B testing. Nobody builds an audience on a maintenance page or tests a page they hope no one sees, so those would be features charging rent without paying it.

That is also the dividing line between this app and its sibling. If your store has not opened yet and you want to collect email addresses and build anticipation, that is a different job and a different app — Coming Soon.

Two plans

The Free plan is the whole app: both templates, the editor, the staff password, and the allowlist. Your page carries a small "Powered by Loman Maintenance Mode" line at the bottom. Standard, at $1.99 a month, removes that line and changes nothing else. See Plans and features.
