Lenis is a lightweight, dependency-free smooth scroll library for modern browsers that wraps native scrolling to keep accessibility, sticky positioning, and anchor links working. It syncs DOM and WebGL scroll scenes and ships first-class adapters for React, Vue, and Framer.

Use cases

• add smooth scrolling to a website
• sync WebGL scenes with page scroll
• build parallax scroll effects
• smooth scroll for React app
• scroll snapping between sections
• consistent scroll feel across wheel trackpad and touch
• drive GSAP ScrollTrigger with smooth scroll

When to choose

• you want smooth scrolling without hijacking scrollbars or breaking accessibility
• you need scroll-linked WebGL or animation effects perfectly in sync with the DOM
• you want a tiny zero-dependency library with framework adapters
• you need vertical, horizontal, or nested smooth scrolling

When to avoid

• you prefer fully native browser scrolling with no smoothing
• your site targets very old browsers
• you need scroll hijacking with custom scrollbars or CSS-transform-based scrolling
