How to resize Mac windows permanently?

Having struggled with resizing windows myself, I’ve found a combination of apps and settings to be the best solution. Here’s my detailed approach:
1. Use System Preferences:
– Go to ‘System Preferences’ and select ‘General’.
– Enable ‘Close windows when quitting an app’ to ensure window positions are saved.

1. Third-Party Apps:
2. Try ‘Magnet’ or ‘SizeUp’. These apps let you snap windows into predefined sizes effortlessly.
3. Download and install the app of your choice.

4. Configure your preferred window positions and sizes.

5. Automating Workflow:

6. Use automation scripts like AppleScript to save and open window sizes. Here’s a simple script to get started:

   applescript
tell application "Finder"
set bounds of front window to {100, 100, 600, 400}
end tell
   – Save the script as an application and add it to your login items to apply the settings automatically at startup.

Each of these tools and configurations ensures that I don’t have to resize windows repeatedly.

To resize Mac windows permanently, I prefer using third-party software. One such tool is Moom. Here’s how you can use it:
1. Download and install Moom from the Mac App Store.
2. Open the application and go through the setup process.
3. Use Moom to resize your windows to your preferred size and position.
4. Save the layout using the ‘Save Window Layouts’ function.

Moom remembers your settings and lets you apply them with a simple shortcut. This method has significantly improved my productivity.

Personally, I rely on macOS’s built-in features. Here’s my straightforward method:
1. Resize and arrange the window as you prefer.
2. Use the ‘Option’ key while closing the window to save its size.

This doesn’t work for all apps, but it’s helped me maintain specific window sizes for Safari and Finder. It’s less about permanently fixing, and more about building a habit of positioning windows before closing them.

I prefer a straightforward method requiring minimal software intervention:
1. Resize your window by dragging the corners to your desired dimensions.
2. Close the application entirely, ensuring changes are saved.

This process leverages macOS’s built-in ability to remember window positions. It’s not foolproof across all apps but works for most day-to-day utilities like Finder or Safari. This method helps me maintain an organized workflow without extra tools or scripts.
