I can see you've been a user for some time. Is this something that has only started to occur recently?
There's a slight chance that what happens is that SoundFlow remembers which screen you want to open the app on, and if for example the screen configuration has changed, it could try to open it on a non-existing screen.
From your description though, I'm not sure if that's the case.
If it is the case, you could fix this by running this in Terminal and then try to open SF again:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/SoundFlow/v2/sfgui
Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2021-05-25 16:21:44.184ZHowever, your log files seem to indicate that in fact what's wrong is some issue with macOS code signing (so not the above issue). It could be that the Apple servers that scan for codesigning/notarization were temporarily down when you tried to launch the app - or that the auto updater somehow has left your installation partially corrupted.
To fix that, it should be enough to just reinstall SoundFlow.
You may need to first: 1) quit SoundFlow entirely (click SF icon, choose Quit), then 2) Remove from Applications, 3) Empty trash, then 4) reinstall.
