Rectangle Pro (3.0.6) not starting on MacOS Ventura 13.0.5

I like the window management functions provided by the Rectangle Pro application (https://rectangleapp.com/pro), but recently it has stopped working after system sleep/logout or restart.


I have tried to follow advice from the developer and re-installed the app to no avail.


Do any others have experience with this - or similar applications?

Thanks a brody. I have updated MacOs to 13.5.1 and deleted and re-installed a fresh copy of the Rectangle Pro app. It works - the first time - but after sleep/restart it perform start up unless I manually click on the app in the app folder.


On the net one can see that Rectangle through the years have had issues like this before.


Intriguing, my version of Magnet is more aggressive and request for confirmation to start every time.


I have several backups running, but do not want to re-install the OS for the moment. I might just go back to Magnet or get used to start Rectanble Pro myself when I need it.

Well as long as you know when it works.


I can say Energy Saver is a very touchy add on. Many third party peripherals will not get enough power until after a restart from Energy Saver. For those dependent on them who can't get it to function with the "do not put hard drive to sleep", I recommend using Screen Saver instead. There are also display brightness tools on the App Store for those who have Desktops that won't dim all the way.
