Sorry, I forgot to answer.

First of all, it looks like you did launchctl list | grep ckb instead of the above. Secondly, [newer] Strafe non-RGB was added after 0.2.8, so build the program from source. Thirdly, I probably forgot to mention sudo, I don't remember whether launchd requires sudo to view root jobs. So, in case it still isn't detected after being built manually, execute sudo launchctl list | grep ckb-daemon (and post it here). In case there will be no output, execute sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ckb.daemon.plist.

I've noticed that this issue happens after restarting my macbook. It works fine when i reinstall CKB but as soon as i perform a restart i lose it :(

For me when I restart the computer it doesn't work. What I have to do to make it work is: kill the unplug keyboard, kill ckb-daemon process, open ckb appllication, then plug keyboard again. I believe it has something to do with starting the MacOS with the keyboard plugged in.

Anyways, with the default setup after quickinstall I cannot reproduce on hackintosh on 10.13.whatever.

As of now whenever the daemon is not running, GUI will show a message with the instruction you need to execute in your terminal. If that doesn't help, unplug the keyboard, wait ~30 seconds and plug it back in. Unless somebody provides a patch that fixes it or at least a repro, there's not much we can do with limited amount of time.

FWIW, I had to run ...

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.ckb-next.daemon.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.ckb-next.daemon.plist

... to get things working. I use a KVM between machine, and every time I switch it fails. Running this gets it working again.
