Description

Hello @teamcons ,

we've been talking in the GTK chat previously. I am able to build jorts, but trying to launch it gives me this:

```
rene@Betelgeuse src % /Users/Shared/work/jhb-1.3/bin/io.github.elly_code.jorts

** (io.github.elly_code.jorts:52149): CRITICAL **: 12:31:49.086: Settings.vala:114: Could not connect: No such file or directory

Please wait while the app remembers all the things...

```

If dbus is an integral part of this app, I won't be able to take this any further. I haven't seen any (self-contained) macOS app in the wild that uses/bundles dbus and I am not going to figure it out. But that doesn't mean you're stranded: dbus is in Homebrew and there are ways to make it work, but it won't be the "it just works out of the box"-experience that people would come to expect (and still out of scope for what I can offer to do).
