## Describe the bug
I have just installed ActivityWatch via homebrew
`brew install activitywatch@beta`
and it appears to have created a folder in my home directory.
`~/ActivityWatchSync`
It contains a folder
`d825xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx`
which contains
`test.db`
## To Reproduce
install via homebrew, have folder appear in Mac home directory.
## Expected behavior
It should use the directories listed at
https://docs.activitywatch.net/en/latest/directories.html
