You deserve a break

"There is another copy of Time Out." error

Tue, 2016-11-15 12:56 — jewifer

I am trying to use Time Out for the first time, and I get a "There is another copy of Time Out." error when I tried to start a break. Screenshot attached. I only have one version of Time Out installed, so I think this might be a bug.

I'm on a Macbook Pro, macOS v10.12 (Sierra).

Welcome to Time Out!

Did you try clicking the Reveal in Finder button? Did that show the app where you expect it to be?

It's possible you have another copy somewhere, e.g. one in Applications and one in Downloads, or elsewhere. If you started Time Out from your Applications folder, then moved it to the Applications folder, there could be some residue left. Try restarting your Mac and see if that fixes it. Or do a Spotlight search to see if that indicates another copy somewhere.

Thanks! I did try the Reveal in Finder button and the app was only in my downloads. I restarted my computer though, and that seems to have fixed it. Thank you!
