Download Smooze Pro for macOS

Smooze Pro 2.2.9 runs on any Mac with Apple Silicon or an Intel processor, as long as you're on macOS 14.6 or later. It's a native build for both architectures, so you won't be running through Rosetta regardless of which machine you're on.

Buttery smooth scrolling in jittery apps

• Adding buttery smooth, animated scrolling to any app that feels jittery with a standard scroll wheel.
• Disabling scroll acceleration entirely, giving you precise, linear control that matches your finger movements.
• Assigning custom actions to mouse buttons on a per-app basis — your side button can do one thing in Safari and another in Final Cut Pro.
• Drawing mouse gestures to trigger shortcuts like switching tabs or snapping windows.
• Enabling auto-scroll anywhere on screen; just click a button and nudge the mouse to cruise through long documents hands-free.
• Dialing in exactly how many lines you scroll per tick, so long pages don't feel sluggish or twitchy.

macOS 14.6 minimum, English only, Terminal setup

• Requires macOS 14.6 or newer — older Macs stuck on earlier OS versions won't run this build.
• The interface is English only, with no additional localizations right now.
• You'll need to run a Terminal command during the first install to bypass Gatekeeper and get it launched.

Forgettable menu bar helper until you use another Mac

Smooze Pro sits quietly in the menu bar and I forget it's there until I use someone else's Mac and miss the fluid scrolling immediately. On my M1 machine it's practically invisible — CPU usage hovers near zero when I'm not flinging pages around, and even during heavy auto-scroll sessions through long PDFs it barely tickles the Activity Monitor. RAM sits around 50 MB, which feels reasonable for a utility that's intercepting scroll events across every app.

Stability has been solid through the 2.2.x line. I've thrown it at everything from Electron apps to older Cocoa software and haven't seen a crash or a hung scroll. The per-app settings reload without a restart, and the gesture engine hasn't misfired on me once. If you're hunting for a smooze pro macos free experience that doesn't degrade under daily use, the performance footprint here is genuinely light.

Taming DaVinci Resolve's unpredictable timeline scroll

Imagine someone cutting a project in DaVinci Resolve — lots of horizontal timeline scrolling, zooming in on waveforms, and switching between the edit page and Fusion. Out of the box, a standard scroll wheel accelerates unpredictably, so nudging a clip into place overshoots half the time.

With Smooze Pro, they disable scroll acceleration inside Resolve and dial the lines-per-tick down to three for fine control. The middle mouse button gets mapped to play/pause instead of its default. A quick upward-right gesture switches to the Fairlight tab without touching the keyboard. Meanwhile, their browser keeps default macOS scrolling behavior because the per-app settings isolate everything cleanly. The whole setup takes five minutes and then disappears — just the kind of invisible adjustment that makes a long editing session feel less like wrestling with input and more like moving at the speed of thought.

• macOS 14.6 or later
• Apple Silicon or Intel (64-bit)
