Smooth mouse-wheel scrolling for the desktop.
Website & download → smoothscroll.top
SmoothScroll turns discrete mouse-wheel input into configurable, eased motion. It works at the platform input layer, so the same scrolling feel can follow you across browsers, editors, file managers, and other wheel-driven applications.
Why SmoothScroll
Mouse wheels naturally arrive as separate notches, while applications do not all animate those notches in the same way. SmoothScroll adds one consistent smoothing layer without replacing your mouse, changing application code, or requiring a vendor-specific utility.
Highlights
- System-wide smoothing — give ordinary wheel scrolling a more continuous, responsive feel across desktop applications.
- A feel you can tune — adjust step size, animation time, easing, acceleration, and scroll direction instead of settling for one preset.
- Per-app control — assign different profiles to different applications or exclude an application when raw input is the better choice.
- Input that stays useful — modifier-wheel pass-through, horizontal scrolling, and game-mode bypass help preserve zoom, command, and raw-input workflows.
- Instant control — use the system tray and global hotkey to toggle smoothing without interrupting your work.
- Native and lightweight — built with Rust and Tauri for a small desktop utility with platform-specific input handling.
