What is SheepTerm?

SheepTerm is a free native terminal client for network engineers on macOS and Windows. It combines SSH, serial consoles and a local shell with saved hosts and groups.

Vendor-aware highlighting helps identify interfaces, VLANs, IP addresses, masks, MAC addresses and counters in device output. Supported families include Cisco, Aruba, Juniper, Fortinet, Check Point and others.

Optional Google login syncs hosts and settings through your own Google Drive, encrypted with your passphrase. The macOS app supports split panes and group export/import for sharing hosts without credentials. Other features include session logging, log search, CSV host import, jump hosts and safe multi-line paste.

Designed with low CPU and memory overhead in mind; no measured performance advantage over other clients is claimed. Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 26.4 or later, or Windows 10/11 x64. The macOS build is not notarized. Linux and Share Link are not yet available.
