[Qemuel8]

this coment is a repost of the comment i wrote on issue #905

So the way i fixed this could also solve it for other. -Go to category builder. -Press Show Options. -Select a different host name.

as i understand my issue was related to having an old watcher that i wasnt using and was deleted but was still showing in the list of hosts. Picking the new host solved the problem for me.

@Qemuel8 It works for me! Thanks❤!! Don't know why the default hostname is "unknow", but after I change it to my computer, it works!!

In https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-webui/commit/fcbd586521c8865953745c9257fa6da6819b2217 I fixed it such that the default host is the one with the most recent data.

And in https://github.com/ActivityWatch/aw-webui/commit/819c4e3e16ce2984ae2546f97f657d7c225e7cf7 I fixed it such that it will never choose "unknown" (will always fail).

Thanks for reporting!
