Disable the automatically opened file picker on macOS Monterey.

This behaviour started after enabling iCloud. When I open an app, a file picker is opened automatically:

If you do not want this behavior and just open an untitled document, there are two solutions.

Solution 1: Turn off storing documents in iCloud for specific apps

• Open System preferences
• Go to Apple ID
• Select iCloud
• Click iCloud Drive - Options
• Select what apps should store files in iCloud

Solution 2: Keep syncing documents in iCloud but disable the file picker on opening an app

• Open a Terminal
• Enter this command:

defaults write -g NSShowAppCentricOpenPanelInsteadOfUntitledFile -bool false

To undo this command, execute:

defaults delete -g NSShowAppCentricOpenPanelInsteadOfUntitledFile
