Hi there! As you're new to this repo, please make sure you've used an appropriate issue template and searched for duplicates (it helps us focus on actual development!). We'd also like to suggest that you read our contribution guidelines and our code of conduct. Thanks a bunch for opening your first issue! 🙏
I can also confirm that this problem occurs on my Mac, but only when my computer crashes (usually when it runs out of RAM because 8 GB is not enough).
The cause is probably the same as in the Windows issue — ActivityWatch doesn't quit properly, and on reboot when the application starts it can't because the instance of ActivityWatch from before the reboot is still/already running.
If it happens next time, you could manually force quit the running processes of ActivityWatch in the Activity Monitor app, and launch it normally from the Applications folder.
@BelKed Thank you for your interest in helping with this issue. I checked under Apple menu –> About This Mac, and I have 16 GB of memory. You said, "[T]he instance of ActivityWatch from before the reboot is still/already running." I don't understand this. I thought that rebooting would quit everything. How could ActivityWatch still be running? I tried following your instructions. I force quit ActivityWatch in Activity Monitor. Then I relaunched ActivityWatch. Unfortunately, the Activity view shows, "No data." I can wait to see whether the data takes some time to accumulate.
I thought that rebooting would quit everything.
If you leave the Reopen windows when logging back in
checkbox checked, the system will save every single application that is currently running so that it can shut itself down. Then, when you reboot, it will reopen windows that were open before you rebooted. At least, that's how I think it works :)
ActivityWatch is probably saved as the application that was running before you rebooted. And if ActivityWatch is set as the application to open on login (which is the default, if I'm right), this would be a second instance of ActivityWatch running. When it tries to launch, it crashes with Module aw-watcher-window quit unexpectedly
.
So could you try restarting with the Reopen windows when logging back in
checkbox unchecked?
Unfortunately, the Activity view shows, "No data."
Then, please check if the ActivityWatch modules are running — a checkmark will appear in front of the module name if it's running. I'm using aw-server-rust
as the ActivityWatch server. If you're using the default Python server, you should have a checkmark in front of aw-server
.
Thinking deeply about it now, maybe you have ActivityWatch twice in your Login Items
, maybe as two separate versions or something...
@BelKed I have been traveling overseas without Internet service, so I could not reply to your message earlier. I will try the troubleshooting ideas that you suggested.
Running aw-watcher-window
on BigSur 11.7.8 results in the following output:

The file /usr/lib/swift/libswift_Concurrency.dylib
does not exist. After a bit of search, it appears that libswift_Concurrency.dylib
is available with XCode 13 and/or MacOS 12.
Rebooting: Using Command-Tab, Command-W, and Command-Q, I closed the open windows and applications. Then under Apple menu –> Restart..., I unchecked "Reopen windows when logging back in," and clicked the Restart button.
aw-server: Under ActivityWatch menu –> Modules, the aw-server menu item is checked.
Login Items: Under Apple menu –> System Preferences... –> Users & Groups –> Login Items, I removed and re-added ActivityWatch from the Applications folder.
@BelKed Unfortunately, I am still getting the error message and no data.
Okay, I can think of one more thing. (No idea why I didn't start with that...)
Could you please try to run the aw-watcher-window
from the Terminal using the following command?
/Applications/ActivityWatch.app/Contents/MacOS/aw-watcher-window
This should tell us exactly what is causing the problem.
And then please restart your computer and try to run it again from Terminal after the error message pops up :)
@BelKed I ran aw-watcher-window from the Terminal as you suggested, and I got the following error:

Okay, so the problem is the same as in https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/issues/801. Could you please close this issue, since it's a duplicate of the mentioned one? :)
As advised by @BelKed, I am closing this issue as a duplicate of "dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/swift/libswift_Concurrency.dylib on v0.12.1 for macOS 11.6."
@BelKed I ended up getting the same message from the beginning of this thread. I'm not sure if I am having the same problem as above though.
I am following the steps in Installing from source
Attempting to run /Applications/ActivityWatch.app/Contents/MacOS/aw-watcher-window
doesn't work for me, I end up getting: No such file or directory
Running: ~/dev/activitywatch $ aw-watcher-window

I can't upgrade my MacOS due to financial constraints of buying a new machine that can support it, I'm running a mid 2014, one of the last MacBooks that doesn't qualify for V12 😭
You are facing exactly the same issue :)
The easiest workaround I can think of is to install an older version of ActivityWatch.
Or install the latest version and use the aw-watcher-window
from the older version.
Anyways, if you have any other questions regarding this issue, please write them here: https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/issues/801
Describe the bug
I use the ActivityWatch app to track the time that I spend on the computer. I am running v0.12.2 which is the latest version. When I restart the computer, it displays an error message. The error message says, "Module aw-watcher-window quit unexpectedly." It has three buttons: Hide Details..., Cancel, and Restart. The details pane says the following:
I searched in the documentation, but I did not find this error message. I asked about this issue on the Ask Different website from the Stack Exchange network, and the comments referred me to contact the developer. I found a related issue on GitHub "AW crashed unexpectedly after BSOD". That issue occurs on Windows, and my issue occurs on macOS. I tried the solution for that issue –– deleting the Application Support folder –– but that did not work.
How can I prevent this error from occurring? Please find attached a screenshot of the error message.
To Reproduce
Restart the computer.
Expected behavior
No error message.
