Checklist

I have searched for existing issues
I have looked through the wiki
I have updated MonitorControl to the latest version

Describe the bug
MonitorControl 3.0.0-beta5 crashes on startup on macOS 10.14.6 100% of the time.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to Applications/
Double click on MonitorControl
Observe icon-opening animation

Expected behaviour
MonitorControl starts, and creates a new menu in the menu bar.

** Actual behaviour**
Nothing else is observed to happen—not even an error dialog—but a new entry is created in ~/⁨Library/Logs/⁨DiagnosticReports⁩/.

Additional context
I tried starting MonitorControl several times but every occasion failed in the same way.

Hey, I tried to fix that. The next beta will not crash with that hopefully.
