A small standalone JavaScript library that imitates iOS native scrolling behavior in mobile web apps. It requires no external dependencies; you drop it into a page and add CSS classes to scrollable elements.
Use cases
- add momentum scrolling to mobile web apps on older iOS versions
- make a div scroll like a native iOS list
- implement touch-based vertical or horizontal scrolling in a webview
- polyfill native scrolling for mobile Safari before iOS 5
- build a mobile web app with native-feeling scroll behavior
When to choose
- targeting very old iOS browsers that lack native overflow scrolling
- you want a tiny, dependency-free drop-in script
When to avoid
- modern browsers, which support native scrolling and CSS overflow
- you need maintained code, documentation, or features like snapping or sticky headers
- production projects today, as the project is unmaintained since 2012
