macOS has one scroll direction for every device. Scrollwise sees which one you're using: natural on the trackpad and Magic Mouse, classic on a wheel mouse. Free. Optional Pro ($2.99 once) adds speed, smooth scrolling, button actions and per-app settings.

Could you build this?
Yes This is a macOS utility that uses the system event tap to flip scroll direction per device. Device detection is possible with known IOKit or HID APIs, and a solo developer with AI help can build it, though it needs macOS-specific knowledge.
