Less friction.
More flow.

Same wheel input.
A smoother way to move.

Without smoothing

A softer landing.

Good tools should get out of the way.

Scrolling is a small interaction, but it is part of almost everything you do on a computer. It should feel natural, predictable, and comfortable — so you can focus on what matters.

SmoothWheel adds a gentle, consistent feel to your scroll. Turn the wheel a little. Follow a line. Take your time.

Find your rhythm.

Some days you want a little more precision. Others, a little more room to coast. Choose the feel that suits the way you work.

A small turn. A smooth movement. Enough momentum to carry you, enough control to stop where you want.

A little nicer all day.

Read a long article. Browse your favorite places. Move through the things you do every day with a little less friction.

Your mouse is already yours. Its scrolling should feel that way, too.

FAQ

Will it work with my mouse?

SmoothWheel works with standard, discrete mouse-wheel events without a brand-specific driver. Mice or drivers that already send continuous scrolling events keep their existing behavior. You can exclude individual apps or hold Option to temporarily bypass smoothing.

Will it change my trackpad?

Normal trackpad scrolling passes through unchanged. Speed, smoothing, and reverse direction apply to the mouse-wheel events SmoothWheel handles.

Why Accessibility access?

macOS requires Accessibility access so SmoothWheel can turn wheel steps into smooth scrolling across apps. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility, add SmoothWheel, and allow access. The app does not record your input or send it anywhere.
