Where Does Scroll Reverser Store Settings?

Scroll Reverser keeps its per device scroll settings in the macOS preferences plist, with nothing else on disk.

Last updated

Scroll Reverser is a single purpose menu bar tool, and its footprint matches. Scroll direction per mouse and trackpad lives in the standard preferences plist under its Pilotmoon domain. There is no support folder and no database.

Confirm the exact domain in Preferences on your install, since naming varies. One plist holds everything, and deleting it resets the app completely. Permission toggles in Privacy settings gate the whole thing, so refresh those after migrating.

Where Scroll Reverser stores this, by platform

macOS
~/Library/Preferences/com.pilotmoon.scroll-reverser.plist

Every Scroll Reverser toggle lives in this plist. Confirm the domain in Preferences on your install first. Delete it with the app closed for a clean reset.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move Scroll Reverser settings to a new Mac?

Copy the plist to the same Preferences path with the app closed. Scroll directions travel with it. Re grant accessibility permission on the new Mac before launching.

Is copying the plist enough to migrate Scroll Reverser?

No. Scroll Reverser stores a handful of per device toggles in preferences. Copying the plist moves every setting it has.
