Managing the desktop widget setting on macOS Tahoe

Every so often, something gets added to macOS and enabled by default where I wish it was off by default. In macOS Tahoe, that’s the appearance of desktop widgets automatically on login.

This behavior is managed in System Settings: Desktop & Dock and is listed as the Show Widgets setting. This has two selectable settings:

  • On Desktop
  • In Stage Manager

The default behavior is for both the On Desktop and In Stage Manager options to be enabled.

To prevent desktop widgets from appearing on your desktop, disable the On Desktop option.

Fortunately for my preferences, the desktop widgets behavior can also be controlled via the following setting:

  • Domain: com.apple.WindowManager
  • Key: StandardHideWidgets
  • Value: Boolean

To disable desktop widgets and prevent them from appearing, run the following command as the logged-in user:


/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.WindowManager StandardHideWidgets -bool true

To enable desktop widgets to appear again, run the following command as the logged-in user:


/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.WindowManager StandardHideWidgets -bool false

In my case, I wanted to disable desktop widgets and prevent them from appearing so I’ve also written a profile which can enforce this. It’s available via the link below:
