Description

[aw-qt_2026-08-07T17-12-40.log](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/30835159/aw-qt_2026-08-07T17-12-40.log)

The past few days activitywatch does not start when I boot up or restart my computer. It also seems to crash and restart continually as the browser interface constantly gives me "internal server error". I am able to see actual data briefly but can not interact as it seems to not stay up for long enough, and sometimes the server stops all together and the tab in the browser gives me a error 500.

I have not reinstalled yet since I can not export what I have as the interface keeps crashing, but I have used the installer again and nothing changed. Also, I am sure I am on the latest release v0.13.2
