Once Installed click the button to begin the setup.
You then import the folders you want to sync. All Ableton Live projects inside a folder you select will be synced.
Note that PARENT project folders (and their sub folders) are watched. That way new Ableton Live Projects you save are automatically synced.
Also note that MAKID only watches for Ableton Live project changes while it is running. This is why on boot there is a loading process that occurs. If any projects are changed or new projects are created, MAKID searches for them in the directories that have currently been synced with MAKID.
WARNING: MAKID currently does not support moving projects in your file system. If you move your projects they will be out of sync and no longer have the same MAKID data. This will be fixed.
