Troubleshooting

The extension won't connect​

The extension needs the Morgue app running to receive captures.

  1. Open the Morgue app, then reopen the extension — this fixes it most of the time.
  2. Restart the app and try again.
  3. Check the capture bridge status under Settings → Extension; restart the app if it isn't running.
  4. Restart your browser if it still won't connect.

Captures aren't appearing​

  1. Confirm the extension shows as connected.
  2. Make sure you completed the capture (chose a capture mode).
  3. Check your All Assets view — captures land there; an active folder/tag/search filter may be hiding them. Clear filters or search.

Activation problems​

  • "Inactive" key: normal before activation — click Activate.
  • Device limit reached: Morgue shows your max; free a seat by deactivating an old machine, or manage devices in your account dashboard.
  • Locked after going offline: reconnect to the internet so Morgue can re-validate — see Working offline.

Updates won't install​

  • Run Morgue from Applications, not from inside a mounted .dmg.
  • Check your connection and relaunch.
  • Fallback: reinstall the latest .dmg from morgueapp.com — your library is untouched.

Still stuck?​

Take an export backup (always safe), then reach out through the channels on morgueapp.com.
