About the project
eSheep is a love letter to the original desktop sheep that roamed Windows screens in the late '90s and early 2000s. This macOS port brings back that same charm — tiny pixel-art characters walking along your windows, falling off edges, and generally being delightful distractions.
Built as a native macOS application, eSheep lives in your menu bar and stays out of the way until you want more sheep. Or an alien. Or a flower.
