A simple solution to a common challenge
Smart Scroll was born from a simple observation:
Volume knobs are incredibly satisfying to use, but they're limited to just one function.
As someone who spends hours coding, reading, and navigating long documents,
I wanted to repurpose this tactile control for something I do hundreds of times a day — Scrolling.
Smart Scroll was designed with various users in mind:
Easy to understand, with minimal setup and configuration required
Designed to make your workflow smoother and more efficient
Clean, unobtrusive design that works with your existing habits
Smart Scroll isn't trying to revolutionize how you work —
it's about enhancing what you already do.
It's about finding joy in the small interactions that make up your day, making each scroll a little more satisfying, and each session a little more productive.

Smart Scroll works with any device that has media volume controls, including keyboards with volume knobs, media keyboards, and external volume controllers.
No, Smart Scroll only intercepts volume controls when in an active scrolling mode.
Your volume controls work normally at all other times.
You can switch modes using the WIN+Shift+F1 hotkey or through the system tray icon.
