SheepTap 14

SheepTap now looks for updates itself: it checks when it starts and once a day, and downloads a verified new version for you.

• Update checks: automatic, or "Check for Updates…" in the menu-bar menu to check right away. Release notes are behind Details…
• Signed updates: every download is verified against SheepTap's own signing key before it is unpacked; one that does not verify is never offered
• Download Update puts the verified zip in your Downloads folder and shows it in Finder — unzip it and drag SheepTap into Applications (SheepTap runs sandboxed, so it cannot replace itself)
• VPN rows name the provider (FortiGate, Tailscale, Check Point, …), show the VPN client's own icon and its DNS servers
• Hardened: hardened runtime on, and no file-access permission it does not use

This version has to be installed by hand once.

SheepTap 13

• The Wi-Fi More/Less toggle no longer flashes: the panel now grows and shrinks in one step instead of briefly drawing the new rows in the old frame.
• While the panel is open, the two-second Wi-Fi refresh no longer re-lays out the menu when only the numbers changed.
• macOS now remembers the Location permission (needed for the network name and BSSID) across updates. You will be asked once more after installing this version, then not again.

SheepTap 12

• Gateway is now shown for every connected interface, not just the one currently carrying internet traffic. Wi-Fi no longer reads "N/A" while Ethernet is plugged in.

SheepTap 10

• Fixes the Wi-Fi More button and Wi-Fi generation badge (Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E/7) not appearing in version 9 — macOS was withholding the Wi-Fi radio information from the app.
• More now shows Security, BSSID, Channel, Country Code, RSSI, Noise, Tx Rate, PHY Mode, MCS Index and NSS as intended.

SheepTap 9

• New More button under the Wi-Fi card shows the same diagnostics as the Option-click Wi-Fi menu: Security, BSSID, Channel (band and width), Country Code, RSSI, Noise, Tx Rate, PHY Mode, MCS Index and NSS.
• The figures refresh live every two seconds while the menu is open.
• A badge next to the network name shows the Wi-Fi generation you are connected with — Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, 6E or 7.
• The address details (IP, Subnet, Gateway, DNS, MAC) use a smaller, tighter font so the panel stays compact.
• The first time you open More, SheepTap asks for Location access. macOS treats the network name, BSSID and country code as location data; if you decline, those rows are simply hidden.
• The panel remembers whether you left More open.

SheepTap 8

• "Open at Login" is now set up correctly even if the app was first run from a development build before being installed.
• An interface with more than one IPv4 address shows its primary address instead of the last alias.
• The Wi-Fi network name no longer overlaps the interface name when it is shown.
• The pointer changes to a hand over an interface icon and always returns to normal when the menu closes.
• Duplicate DNS servers in a manual list no longer confuse the DNS rows.

SheepTap 7

• Click the icon on any interface card to jump straight to that interface in System Settings.
• Wi-Fi opens the Details sheet of the network you are connected to.
• Ethernet and other wired adapters open their own service page under Network — the right
  adapter even when several are attached.
• VPN opens the VPN pane.
• The icon highlights on hover and shows a pointing hand so it is obvious it can be clicked;
  the menu closes itself once System Settings comes forward.
