Everything in PackRat, plus a local memory for your references: know what a broken or cleared field used to point to, even after the original file is gone. Still 100% local — no cloud, opt-in, nothing to worry about.
« Requires Unity 2022.3 LTS or newer »

⭐️ What's Included
• Missing Script Cleanup — finds and removes broken MonoBehaviour references, even ones a normal search misses.
• Reference Linker — finds broken guid references, ranks real candidates, and actually relinks them. Not just detection.
• Asset Vault — backs up every new Asset Store download into your own Dropbox/Drive/OneDrive folder, automatically.
• Reference History Tracking (Pro exclusive) — a rolling local log of what a reference field used to point to, even after the original file is gone.
❓ What is PackRat Pro?
Same PackRat, with one thing added for people who want it. Pro is the identical Missing Script Cleanup, Reference Linker, and Asset Vault as plain PackRat — plus Reference History Tracking, for anyone who's ever wished they could ask "what did this used to point to?"
📌 Reference History Tracking
• Switch it on and PackRat quietly watches reference fields while the Editor is open, keeping a rolling 7-day local log of what each one used to point to.
• Change a field, clear it, reassign it — Pro remembers, down to the exact sprite slice inside a spritesheet, not just the file.
• Click "History" on any broken or empty field to see the full trail, most recent first.
• One click from a history entry straight to the old asset (if it still exists), or into candidate search.
• Not telemetry, not analytics, never phones home. One plain JSON file on your own machine, never version-controlled, never shipped with your project. Turn it off or delete the file whenever you want.
📌 Everything else, unchanged
Missing Script Cleanup, Reference Linker (same candidate ranking, Ignore List, live filter as Base), and Asset Vault all work exactly the same as in plain PackRat.
🔁 Already own PackRat (Base)?
Pro detects a Base install in the same project and lets you know — install Pro instead of Base, not alongside it, once you've upgraded.
📎 Not sure if you need Pro?
See the Base listing: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/package/2170447 — same three core tools, without Reference History Tracking.
🔒 100% Local
No telemetry, no network calls, no account — for both the core tools and Reference History Tracking.
🚧 Limitations
• Doesn't recover deleted code — only cleans up what's already broken.
• Relink candidates and history entries are suggestions, not guarantees — you make the final call.
• Editor-only — adds nothing to your player builds.
