# NSScrubber.Mode.free

A scrolling mode in which the scrubber scrolls as the user swipes horizontally across the scrubber.

```
case free
```

## Discussion

When a user swipes horizontally across the scrubber, the scrubber scrolls. To select an item, the user must tap or press it without moving their finger horizontally.

Free-mode interaction changes depending on the value the scrubber’s [`isContinuous`](/documentation/AppKit/NSScrubber/isContinuous) property. For details on how to choose the correct mode for your app, see [`Choose a scrubber touch-interaction model`](/documentation/AppKit/NSScrubber#Choose-a-scrubber-touch-interaction-model).
