Shepherd is an open-source JavaScript library for building guided product tours and user onboarding experiences in web apps. It is framework-agnostic with wrappers for React, Ember, Angular, and Vue, and emphasizes accessibility and customization.
Use cases
- create a guided product tour for my web app
- add user onboarding walkthrough to my site
- show new users how to use the app step by step
- highlight UI elements with tooltips in sequence
- build an interactive feature announcement tour
- add onboarding to a React or Vue application
When to choose
- you need a customizable, accessible onboarding tour with keyboard navigation and ARIA support
- you use React, Ember, Angular, Vue, or plain JavaScript
- you want a mature library with minimal default styles
- your project is open-source, personal, or non-commercial
When to avoid
- you need a commercial license without paying - commercial use requires a paid license
- you need built-in analytics or enterprise digital-adoption features
- you want a fully styled out-of-the-box look with no customization
- you need non-browser environments such as mobile-native or server-side tours
