About Scroll Reverser
Scroll Reverser is a Mac app that sets scroll direction separately for trackpads and mice, including Magic Mouse. A common setup is natural scrolling for the trackpad with classic scrolling for the mouse. For wheel mice it adds a step size slider that sets how many lines scroll per wheel click.
Version 1.9 requires macOS 13.5 or later on Intel or Apple silicon, with older downloads available for earlier systems. It cannot reverse swipe gestures and does not work in iPhone Mirroring or the Calendar app, which use gesture-based scrolling.

Scroll Reverser FAQ
Can it reverse swipe gestures too?
No, this is not possible. Swipe direction follows the Scroll Direction: Natural setting in System Preferences.
Why does it see my trackpad as a mouse?
Turn off Accessibility > Zoom > Advanced > Controls > Use trackpad gesture to zoom. Older Macs without multi-touch trackpads and some third-party trackpads are also seen as a mouse.
How do I uninstall it?
Quit the app and move it to Trash. You can also delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.pilotmoon.scroll-reverser.plist.
