Sorry for late reply, GH is not sending me emails for some reason so I did not notice this.

Are you running flathub in macos? I can't see any info on how that would work.

@marianomontiel, how did you install it, do you recall?

I did notice as well that the "start Stretchly automatically when logging in" doesn't persist. I check it, close the settings window, open it again... and it's unchecked.

That's on Stretchly 1.17.1, which got installed via a DMG file, IIRC. I've so far uninstalled it, installed the latest 1.19.0 from brew, and the same issue persists.
