Claude Code usage

Claude Account Switcher

Use multiple Claude accounts in the Claude desktop app: switch in one click without the email code, keep Claude Code chats across accounts, see live usage of every account. Windows, macOS. Unofficial.

Install

From source
git clone https://github.com/SnlperStripes/claude-account-switcher.git

From the README

Hit your limit on one Claude account, keep working on the next one. One click, no email code.

A tray tool for the Claude desktop app. It swaps the signed-in account in about ten seconds,
carries your Claude Code chats across, and shows the live usage of every account you own.

Your sign-ins never leave your machine. Tokens stay encrypted exactly as Claude stored them,
and the only server they ever go to is api.anthropic.com.

The problem

You have two Claude accounts because one runs out. Switching between them in the desktop app goes like this:

1. Sign out. That throws the sign-in away. Next time you need it, you start from zero.
2. Sign in with the other address and wait for the email code. With a private relay address, that means opening another app to find it.
3. Find your work. Claude files Claude Code chats per account, so the chat you were in the middle of is gone from the sidebar. The conversation still exists on disk; the app just does not list it.
4. Guess which account has room left, because usage only shows for the one you are signed in to.

Three of those four steps are pure overhead, and the fourth is a guess.

What it does instead

Keeps every sign-in. Each account's sign-in is saved when you switch away from it and put back when you switch to it. You type an email code once per account, ever, and not again until Anthropic ends that sign-in.

Switches in one click. Right-click the tray icon, pick an account. Claude quits, the sign-in is swapped, Claude starts again. Everything else in Claude's settings stays exactly as it was.

Brings your chats along. Before Claude starts, the switcher copies the chat list entries of your other accounts into the one you switch to. Open the chat you were in and…
