About Scrub Input

Scrub Input is the number field from design tools: drag the label sideways to scrub the value, with Shift for big steps and Alt for fine ones, or click in and type. It makes tuning numbers fast and fun.

Scrub Input is an input component for React 19, styled with Tailwind CSS 4 and animated with Motion. It drops into Next.js, Vite, Remix or Astro through the shadcn CLI as a single file you own.

When to use Scrub Input

  • Design and creative tools with many numeric properties.
  • Animation and audio editors.
  • Configurators with width, height and spacing values.
  • Developer tools and playgrounds.

How it works

Pointer lock keeps the drag going past the edge of the screen; horizontal movement is scaled by sensitivity and the modifier keys. The field is a real spinbutton, so arrow keys step the value and screen readers announce it with its unit.

It is a real form control: it has an accessible name, works with the keyboard alone, shows a visible focus ring and announces its state to screen readers. With prefers-reduced-motion on, it holds still or settles instantly instead of animating.

Customizing Scrub Input

Every prop is documented in the API reference above with its type and default. The ones you will reach for first are listed here.

The Customize panel next to the preview lets you change unit, sensitivity live, and the Code tab updates to match, so the snippet you copy already carries your values.

  • label (string).
  • value / defaultValue (number).
  • min / max / step (number).
  • sensitivity (number): Units per pixel; defaults to step.
  • unit (string).

Goes well with Scrub Input

These inputs pieces share its tokens and motion language, so they sit together on one page without clashing.

  • Magnetic: Make any React element lean toward the pointer and spring home: a magnetic hover in one wrapper
  • Color Picker: An animated React swatch colour picker with a ring that glides to the selection
  • Rating: An animated React star rating with hover preview and a ripple of popping stars
  • File Dropzone: An animated React file dropzone that lifts on hover and lists uploads with progress
  • Like Button: An animated React like button: the heart pops, sparks burst and the count rolls
