iMac w/ case sensitive FS errors when using binaries
See original GitHub issueI downloaded and unzipped this binary: https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/releases/download/v0.8.0b6/activitywatch-v0.8.0b6-macos-x86_64.zip
(i.e., AW version is v0.8.0b6)
I put aw into my home directory, and tried to run the binaries:
$ ./aw-qt
Fatal Python error: initfsencoding: unable to load the file system codec
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module 'encodings'
Current thread 0x00007fff8d417380 (most recent call first):
Abort trap: 6
No log file was produced at ~/Library/Logs/activitywatch
Any ideas?

I released v0.8.0b7 today which should work fine on macOS. Sorry for the delay.
