December 3, 2025 Something practical out of the box

Hey Everyone,

I’ve been trying to read PDFs and articles while rocking my baby boy to sleep in front of our iMac. Not the easiest combination, and yes, you can argue I shouldn’t multitask, but you know how it is. I couldn’t help myself and ended up building an app to make it easier.

It’s called ScrollPods. You tilt your head gently up or down while wearing AirPods, and your Mac scrolls. It works in web browsers, PDFs, documents, social media, spreadsheets, basically anywhere you normally scroll up and down.

The feedback has been amazing with comments like:

“Using my hands to scroll can cause terrible pain. This is amazing.”

“Me and my carpal tunnel thank you!”

Whether you need ScrollPods out of comfort or necessity, it is a practical intuitive way to help you.

You can be up and running in a couple of minutes, and since there is a free 7 day trial without any sign up. I would encourage you to just try it out. I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

I would be happy to hear your feedback both positive or constructive. You can hit me up either directly here or also on Bluesky or X, thank you!

About

ScrollPods started while I was soothing my baby boy with one arm and trying to read on our iMac with the other. I needed a hands-free way to scroll, so I built a macOS app that uses the motion sensors in Apple headphone.
