Is there a setting to automatically centre apps, on Sequoia?

[The Cockney Rebel]

I have to keep doing it manually.

Thanks.

Take a look at the Window menu in the menu bar.

Yes, that's how I always do it.

But often, apps go to wherever they want.

I'd like to know if there's a way to permanently centre windows?

There is nothing built-in, but maybe some third-party app. I can't be of much help.

That's no help, as it doesn't address the OP's original question of automating window centering.

I can help you with automatically centering Finder windows with FinderFix - it's simple to use and works great, but that only helps you when working in the Finder. I'm certain Keyboard Maestro can do what you want, but I've never used it and it does appear that it would require some configuring on your part.

I've just come to take it for granted that any new Window I open on Mac OS will be smaller-than, centered-within, and behind any existing Window.

I treat it as a cognitive hide-the-window game, where I am required to spend time I do not have to find the things I thought I had.

It's really fun!

I don’t know of a way to automatically center app windows, but Swish (https://highlyopinionated.co/swish/) makes the task of centering windows easy. All you have to do is double tap on the title bar of a window to center it.
