Troubleshooting

Fixes for the problems people hit most.

Findow won't open

Findow has no Dock icon or window. Look for its icon in the menu bar.

A shortcut does nothing

• Check Permissions, especially Accessibility.
• Another app may use the same key. Change it in Settings > Shortcuts, which tells you if a command clashes inside Findow.
• If you use AltTab, quit it or change its shortcut.

Windows have gone off the screen

They're waiting at the edge. Click the tab there, or hold ⌃⌥ and use the mouse wheel. Quitting Findow brings every window back.

Nothing arranges on one display

Open the menu bar panel and look for "This display is off", then turn it on. Arranging also pauses while Stage Manager is on.

Windows keep moving back

Another window manager may be running. Quit it. Findow warns you if it finds one.

A permission is on, but Findow says it isn't

Follow the steps for a permission that won't stick.

Previews are blank

Findow needs Screen Recording, and macOS applies it after Findow restarts.

Findow quit by itself

If Findow stops unexpectedly it reopens, and stops trying after three crashes in two minutes. Details are in ~/Library/Logs/Findow/engine.log, which you can send us.

Still stuck
