Can confirm, have been experiencing the same issue for awhile now. I just can’t use the app. I miss this program 😦

I remember trying tweaking security permissions before, but didn’t help.

FYI, I’ve recently tried redownloading and reinstalling Kap, and now it works for me (the same version - 3.5.4).
