My Upwork desktop app won't launch on my Mac. It's worked before, but today I went to open it for time tracking and nothing pops up on the screen. SInce I can't time track on the Upwork website itself, I can't log my hours today and I'm on a tight deadline! Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Valerie,
I've been having the same problem since two weeks. The desktop app won't launch on my mac (it only bounces up and down). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the most recent version several times already, but it doesn't solve the issue. Could you please help?

Hi Arwen,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the Desktop App. Could you please follow the troubleshooting steps shared in this help article and see if this helps?

Hi Joanne,
Thank you. I've tried the troubleshooting steps, but they don't help. I didn't try the third redirect step as the app doesn't open in the first place (it still only bounces up and down in the task bar). I've tried to remove the cache as well (as I don't have imported data saved at the moment), but this doesn't help either.
If I try to open the app through the "Open time tracker" button on the Upwork website, I get the message "App doesn't respond".

Hey I also have this problem I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Desktop app a few times. When it asks if I want to open an app from the internet I click "Open" and it bounces in my apps bar and does nothing. I am using a Mac. Since the app itseld will not launch I cannot put a ticket in to Upwork. I have not been able to track my hours for the last few days. Please advise, thank you.

I have the same issue as Monica S. " trying to open tracker app, I click "Open" and it bounces in my apps bar and does nothing." I am using macOS Big Sur 11.5.1
Thank you,
Lana

Hey Lana, I have since updated to the same Mac OS system, Big Sur 11.5.1 and still have the same issue. I updated to Big Sur per Upwork's request in hopes tha the app may launch. It has been over a month and I have since worked with four different Upwork tech people trying different things and nothing has yielded results. They are working on it, but it is extremely frustrating for it to take this long.
Just wanted to let you know that if it takes more than a month, don't be surprised.
If you find a solution quicker than I do, I would appreciate if it was shared. I will do the same if Upwork finds a solution.
Thank you to Upwork for working on this issue (please hurry!!)

Hi Monica,
I have the same issue with the time tracker. Nothing happens on my screen. I have run through the articles here but nothing seems to work. The previous version works fine until it got updated to 5.6.8 version. I'm forced to use my other device to work... Hoping somebody could help us!

I have the same issue on macOS Ventura 13.0.1
The app launches and shows a splash screen where I see the app version than nothing. I tried uninstalling and installing the app a few times and restarting my mac, but nothing is working.
UPDATE:
The problem is solved using the following command in the terminal while keeping the app installed.
mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Upwork{,.bak}
