Disable Automatic Window Resizing in macOS Sequoia

Overview

macOS Sequoia introduces a new window-tiling feature that automatically resizes and positions windows as you move them. While designed for better organization, this feature can be disruptive. This guide explains how to disable it.

Disabling Automatic Resizing

  1. Open System Settings from the Apple menu.
  2. Navigate to Desktop & Dock.
  3. Scroll down to the Windows section.
  4. Toggle off the following options:
    • Drag windows to screen edges to tile
    • Drag windows to menu bar to fill screen
    • Hold ⌥ key while dragging windows to tile
    • Tiled windows have margins
  5. Close System Settings and test the changes.

Alternative Approach

For more control, consider enabling "Hold ⌥ key while dragging windows to tile." This allows you to resize windows only when holding the ⌥ key.
