Mac desktop version not working


in Fing Desktop
Fing doesn't like my Macbook Pro w/Catalina 10.15.6
Won't open completely, usually a blank window, force reload doesn't work. Uninstalled & reinstalled + restart.
Any known issues or fixes?

Thank you for your message. Can you check under Activity monitor if multiple Fing helpers are running? If yes, then please disable both Fing helpers and quit the Fing desktop and then reboot device and start Fing desktop to run the scan. Also, sometimes the permissions needed for the application in MacOS gets revoked. If this happens to you, you can remedy this in System Preferences > Security and Privacy. Be sure to have Fing Desktop turned on (check off the box) in the "Full Disk Access" and "Files and Folders" sections.
To address the blank screen, Can you please follow these commands on the terminal and let me know of the result?
Command 1: /usr/bin/pgrep fingagent
Command 2: sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:48080 -sTCP:LISTEN
On running the 2nd command, it will ask for a password and you need to enter the login password of your MacBook

I am not sure why 2 helpers are running but if the Fing desktop is working fine for now, then you can leave it running and upon quitting the app, the Fing desktop will quit the fing helpers as well. Thanks
