Environment

• ActivityWatch version: v0.9.2
• OS: macOS 10.14.6 (Mojave)

Additional context

• Another user's report on Stack Exchange: https://apple.stackexchange.com/q/385104 . I did not follow the recommended answer as I did not want to move the .app ownership to root user.
• Disallowing and then allowing access from System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Automation did not change behavior
