Interestingly, I have a second user on this account and hourglass runs correctly in their account (non-admin, standard privileges).

Will only run with root privileges in the computer's admin user account:

$ sudo -i

Thanks for your detailed issue report! According to these logs, you seemed to install Hourglass as the root user, not as your user. I guess this is why your installation of Hourglass only runs with the root privileges. I'm not sure why the app has been installed in that way but maybe you installed it from root terminal? Anyway you should fix this issue with the following steps:

1. Open root terminal by sudo -i
2. Run flatpak uninstall com.github.sgpthomas.hourglass
3. Close the root terminal
4. Open AppCenter and search for hourglass and then install the app there

Hello! I did install hourglass via appcenter, is the strange thing! And I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I had installed it as a system wide installation via appcenter, and today it just stopped working for the admin user account.

I don't know what caused it, but I ended up doing a complete system reinstall, and it is now working again. But I'm not sure why it went from working to non-working overnight, with no known modifications to the system in-between (apart from normal system updates). Thank you!

Glad to hear your issue has been fixed! Thank you again for using Hourglass :tada:
