Soon after start, DevonSphere freezes

1-2 Minutes after starting, DevonSphere express freezes (spinning ball; no activity in ActivityMonitor). It’s in /Applications, no extra categories or locations specified.
After removing pictures, music, movies it at least doesn’t crash. But that’s not the intended use, is it?
Maybe it’s just busy with creating some first index? then a message would be appreciated.

Yes, of course DEVONsphere is indexing what has been set in the preferences. And unless this is a brand new machine with very little on it, that can take some time.

That being said, you likely didn’t give it Full Disk Access in System Settings > Privacy & Security. Make sure you do.

I have the same problem. I gave it full disk access on installation and expected the indexing would take a while. I gave it a week. The wheel is still spinning. Devonshpere doesn’t show up in the Force Quit menu. Any suggestions?

When the application is stalled, do a Spotlight search for Activity Monitor. Select our application in the list of processes - it should show “(Not Responding)” and the name in red - and press Command-Option-S to run a sample on it. When the sample window opens, press the Save button and save it to your Desktop.
Start a support Ticket and attach the process sample.
