Thanks for your feedback. I can launch the AppImage successfully in Hyprland, so I don't know how to debug this. However, it could be due to our use of Electron 22, which is heavily outdated. The Electron dependency has been bumped to v30 and the next release will see that change.
If you have yarn installed, you can try building the latest commit on main (steps are in the README). Otherwise please wait until the next release and see if the problem is fixed.
