Apple - How to make TextEdit open with a blank file by default?

If you don't want to disable syncing documents and data, run

defaults write -g NSShowAppCentricOpenPanelInsteadOfUntitledFile -bool false

and quit and reopen TextEdit to apply the changes.

To restore (thanks to comments run)

defaults delete -g NSShowAppCentricOpenPanelInsteadOfUntitledFile

To set this for TextEdit only (thanks to comment by gklka)

defaults write com.apple.TextEdit NSShowAppCentricOpenPanelInsteadOfUntitledFile -bool false

System Prefrences > iCloud > iCloud Drive ( Options ) > uncheck textEdit


Go to System Preferences > iCloud > uncheck "Documents & Data" from the sync list.
