## What it is

Scroll Ticks plays a soft tick for every notch of the scroll wheel, like a real wheel detent, in every app.

There are 8 scroll styles, from a fine tick to a ratchet, a bubble or a zipper. You can tick on every notch, every 2nd or every 3rd.

On a trackpad or Magic Mouse, the Trackpad setting picks how much scrolling makes one tick.
