This means xdotool or xclip isn't installed. Install both:

everything:

// step by step
Run the .exe installer — it sets everything up silently and starts
the app automatically. No terminal required.
Download the installer
Click the button above to download savemetokens.exe.
Run the installer
Double-click savemetokens.exe. If Windows SmartScreen
appears, click "More info" → "Run anyway" — the app is safe, it just
isn't code-signed yet.
Enter your license key

This happens because the installer isn't code-signed yet. It's safe to run. Click "More info" on the SmartScreen dialog, then "Run anyway". We're working on getting the certificate.
Some apps (particularly games and certain Electron apps) capture global hotkeys at a lower level. Try right-clicking the tray icon and checking that the app is active, not paused.
If the conflict persists, contact support — we can add per-app exclusion rules.
Windows sometimes hides tray icons by default. Click the ↑ arrow in your taskbar corner to expand hidden icons — SaveMeTokens should be there. Right-click and select "Show icon and notifications" to pin it permanently.
The dialog may have opened behind another window. Check your taskbar for a flashing SaveMeTokens entry. If nothing appears, restart the app from the tray icon or via:
// cleanup
Uninstall via Windows Settings → Apps, or run the uninstaller directly from Desktop:
%APPDATA%\SaveMeTokens\ is
deleted by the uninstaller.
