🖱

Right-Click Drag Scroll

Hold right mouse button and drag to scroll any window. Small movements trigger normal right-click context menu.

🔀

Axis Locking

Automatically detects scroll direction and locks to horizontal or vertical axis for precise control.

💨

Momentum Scroll

Natural trackpad-like inertia with smooth deceleration and bounce effect. Feels native to macOS.

Menu Bar Utility

Lives quietly in your menu bar. Quick access to preferences and controls without cluttering your dock.

🌐

50 Languages

Full localization in 50 languages including English, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and more.

🔧

Customizable

Adjust scroll speed, direction, axis behavior, diagonal scrolling, and momentum to your preference.

How It Works

1

Right-Click & Hold

Press and hold the right mouse button

2

Drag to Scroll

Move mouse to scroll the content

3

Release

Let go for momentum glide effect

Smart Detection: If you right-click without dragging (less than 5px movement), the normal context menu appears as expected. Only drag gestures activate scrolling.
