[Bug]: Sometimes, when it is time for a "long break", the break overlay does not show up. Instead, the app throws an error dialog and abruptly quits.

What operating system are you using?

macOS

Operating System Version

Tahoe 26.4.1 (25E253)

Reproduction steps

The error dialog says: "An error occured while running Stretchly and it will now quit. To report the issue, click Report." ### Steps to reproduce

1. Keep Stretchly running in the background.
2. Wait until the timer reaches a scheduled "long break".
3. Instead of the break screen appearing, the error dialog pops up and the app crashes.
   (Note: This issue seems to happen intermittently, not every single time).

Expected Behavior

The long break overlay/notification should appear normally and allow me to take a break without crashing the app.

Actual Behavior

• Operating System: macOS (Apple Silicon)
• Installation method: Homebrew (brew install --cask hovancik/stretchly/stretchly)

Hi - I am getting a similar problem in Windows 11 rather than on a Mac. Stretchly gives me a 30s warning of an upcoming break but then the break screen doesn't appear. If I skip to the next long break the app throws the error dialogue and quits. If I then reboot the app (not the PC) it works fine, generally until the next day.

Apart from that I am loving Stretchly, so any tips on how to stop this happening or how to submit information to you to help fix it would be great.
