What it is

Lenis is a lightweight smooth-scroll library from darkroom.engineering. It gives you the buttery scroll feel of high-end agency sites while keeping native scroll behaviour and accessibility intact, and it plays well with GSAP ScrollTrigger.

Why it’s here

Smooth scroll is easy to overdo. Lenis is the one implementation that feels good rather than sluggish. Keep the lerp subtle.

Best for

  • portfolio sites
  • marketing pages with scroll effects
  • pairing with GSAP

Can my agent use this?

Agent excellent agent friendliness

Yes. The README covers setup for vanilla and React. Ask your agent to add it with conservative settings and to respect prefers-reduced-motion.

Excellent: Public docs, public source or an installable package. An agent can read, install and implement this directly.
