If you want to undo the effect you may launch Activity Monitor,
search for `DiscreteScroll` and force it to quit.

## Potential problems

Recent versions of macOS have made it difficult to run unsigned binaries.
If you experience issues launching the application
or if you can launch it but it has no effect on scrolling, try the following:

- Remove the quarantine attribute by running the command
`xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /path/to/DiscreteScroll.app`,
where the path points to the application bundle.
- Disable Gatekeeper by running the command
`spctl --add /path/to/DiscreteScroll.app`,
where the path points to the application bundle.
- Grant access to accessibility features:
1. On macOS 13.0 and later, go to `System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility`;
otherwise, go to `System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility`.
2. Add `DiscreteScroll` to the list.
