Smooze Pro 2.2.9 Mac

Smooze Pro 2.2.9 is a Mac utility that adds smooth scrolling, custom mouse-button actions, and gestures that macOS does not support by default.

Which setting should I change first?

Start with scroll acceleration. The app can disable it, which gives the wheel a more predictable feel across long documents and web pages.

How do mouse gestures work?

Hold a button and move the mouse to trigger actions like switching tabs or going back. You assign the gestures yourself, and they work in any app unless you restrict them with per-app settings.

What is auto scrolling?

Auto scrolling lets you scroll anywhere on the screen without the pointer sitting over the scrollable area. It is useful for reading long articles or comparing two windows side by side.

Does it remember settings for specific apps?

Yes. Per-app settings let you keep one configuration for a browser and another for a code editor, so a gesture never does the wrong thing in the wrong place.

How light is it in daily use?

On an Apple Silicon MacBook Air, Smooze Pro sits at roughly 35–55 MB of RAM and barely moves the CPU needle during normal scrolling. The real difference shows up when an app fights the system’s native momentum — Smooze overrides that cleanly and keeps frame pacing steady, even in Electron apps that usually stutter with a mouse wheel. No relaunches, no background spikes noticed across a full workday.

Small conveniences worth finding

A few touches are easy to overlook: the menu bar icon shows the current scroll mode at a glance, and Option-clicking it pauses Smooze instantly — handy when you need raw system scrolling for a few seconds. The grab-and-throw scrolling feels closer to a trackpad than a wheel, and it respects per-display settings, so a large external monitor can scroll differently than the built-in display without extra fiddling.

Disable scroll acceleration for a predictable linear feel

• Disable scroll acceleration first. The linear feel is the whole point for many users, and it makes the lines-per-tick slider behave predictably.
• Set one global gesture early. A right-click-and-drag-left for “back” in browsers trains your hand fast and proves whether gestures fit your workflow.
• Check the per-app list. Apps like Figma or Blender sometimes clash with auto-scroll or grab scrolling; adding them to the exclude list takes ten seconds and prevents confusion.
