The README.md doesn't specifically say how you're able to run this command in the background. This works fine during startup, but not necessary how to run it without restarting.

Raising this issue in anticipation of a pull request.

The command you would run to run this in the background is sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/keylogger.plist assuming you have already run sudo make startup

I think it's reasonable to not explicitly point this out in the readme. That's a question about how to run plisted scripts in the background in macOS, not a question of how to use keylogger; the readme can't cover every possible use case and shouldn't attempt to

You can run it in the background without restarting with ./keylogger &! exit.

If you want to run it with launchctl there is apparently a launchctl kickstart command that will allow you to do so but I haven't tested it, more details here.
