Hey @jaredbm - Yeah, sorry about that! We had reports like this but it is super hard to solve as it tends to happen with specific configurations and not much is known about the issue. We could figure out what's wrong with a crash report. If you have one, @JoniVR can symbolicate it (as he did the actual release build) and check where the crash happened exactly - that might shed some light on what is going on.

For me it always happens after a long sleep. When I wake my macbook in the morning I have to relaunch the app because it has been killed.

Here's my crash reports if that helps.

I've also been seeing similar routine crashes and have to relaunch the app every day.

Attached my crash reports if they're helpful

Curiously, I'm using another monitor with a USB-C to DisplayPort cable and I didn't have this issue for a while now.
Previously I was using HDMI.
I don't know if it's the monitor or the cable 🤷🏻‍♂️

It was definitely HDMI's fault (in my case).
Since I've changed to a USB-C to DP cable I haven't had another crash. ✨

Update:
It still (rarely) crashes sometimes, but not silently anymore as it did before.
It just crashed right now as soon as I turned off my external monitor. Now with a crash report pop-up.
