Your Question/Topic: DHi

I love Toggl and am using it for tracking time spent on projects. Unfortunately from today after I did update to new Mac OS Tahoe Version 26.2 after starting tracking on a project I can not stop the timer, it also doesn’t show up on the mobile or web view as running as usual and when pressing stop it shows **The file “DatabaseModel.sqlite” couldn’t be opened.**sClosing and reopening normal or forced or restarting Mac Book doesn’t stop times and issue. Can you help? I mainly use Toggl as desktop version.

Thanks a lot for any helpful tip to sort out the issue above!!

I just wanted to add that I’m having this same issue on the desktop app after upgrading to Tahoe. The browser and mobile versions still work for me, but the desktop app won’t allow me to stop my current timer without giving me the “DatabaseModel.sqlite couldn’t be opened” prompt, nor will it sync to toggl’s database.

Heya @Fabian_Eder @Bek_McDaniel were either of you on our beta version of the app, or just the copy you get from the App Store?
