Lately, Yaak has been extremely unstable for me. I've encountered two issues multiple times, although I haven't been able to reproduce them consistently:

All secrets suddenly disappear. After restarting Yaak, they appear again.
-
The entire app becomes partially frozen. I can still select and edit inputs, but the Send button and keyboard shortcut for sending stop working completely. Restarting Yaak resolves the issue.
Unfortunately, since both issues happen intermittently, I haven’t been able to identify reliable reproduction steps yet.

This is now available in 2026.8.0-beta.3!
Cause found, fix in review, no logs needed.
Which version and OS are you on? A few things that would help narrow it down: does it tend to happen after the machine wakes from sleep, do you have workspace encryption enabled, and is directory or Git sync on for that workspace? Both symptoms look like the app losing contact with its backend rather than two separate bugs, since inputs keep working but anything that needs the backend stops. If you can grab the app logs from a session where it happened, that would help a lot. The troubleshooting guide shows where to find them: https://yaak.app/docs/getting-started/troubleshooting
Facing the same issue here, specially related to item “2. The entire app becomes partially frozen”.
Attaching console print, but I’m not sure if it is related cuz it isn’t a git workspace.
It started happen after last update to version 2026.7.1.
Same happens to me! specially around “The entire app becomes partially frozen”. No click allowed, just force quick ⌘Q and open back again.
