Account Switcher 1.2.0

Claude Auto-Switch, plus quota for Claude Desktop accounts.

Claude Code (Terminal) Auto-Switch

A menu toggle (and a Settings checkbox), like Codex Auto-Switch. It keeps claude-swap's own cswap auto running in the background. When the active account reaches the threshold (80–95% of its 5-hour or weekly limit, 90% by default), it moves to the account with the most quota left and notifies you. Running terminal sessions keep the old login until restarted.

Claude Desktop

• Each account in the menu shows how much of its 5-hour and weekly limits it has used.
• When the active account reaches the threshold and another account has room, it asks once whether to switch. It never quits Claude without asking.

Shared Code sessions

• The archive list now follows the sessions: archiving and unarchiving carry over to your other accounts. Before, unarchiving on one account could be undone by the next switch.

macOS

• DMG: open it and drag Account Switcher to Applications.
• Terminal: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/berkboz/account-switcher/main/install.sh | zsh

Signed with Developer ID and notarized. macOS 13 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel.

Windows (preview)

Includes the archive-list fix. Claude Auto-Switch and Desktop quota are macOS-only for now.

Account Switcher 1.1.1

Update now if you switch Claude Desktop accounts. With Claude Desktop 2.19 and later, 1.1.0 made Claude lose new Code sessions.

Claude 2.19 refuses to save Code sessions into a linked folder, and 1.1.0 linked every account's session folder to a shared one. Claude could still list your older sessions, but every new session and update stayed in memory only and disappeared the next time Claude quit or you switched accounts.

• Each account now has its own real session folder. Every switch copies each session's newest version into all of them, so sessions are still shared across accounts. A session you delete on one account is removed from the others too.
• Your next switch migrates the old layout. Until then the menu shows ⚠︎ Repair Code Sessions… to fix it right away. Nothing is deleted: replaced copies go to ~/Library/Application Support/Account Switcher/conflicts.
• Sessions lost before the update still have their full transcripts in ~/.claude/projects.
• The menu bar icon's spacing now matches the icons next to it.

macOS

• DMG: open it and drag Account Switcher to Applications.

Windows (preview)

Same fix (1.1.0 used directory junctions, which Claude also refuses).

Account Switcher 1.1.0

Update recommended if you use Claude Desktop switching. 1.0.0 could lose data when sharing Code sessions across accounts:

• A freshly signed-in account's empty scheduled-tasks.json could replace another account's, dropping its scheduled tasks. State files are now merged, not replaced.
• Shared scratch folders changed their path, so Claude Code split some transcripts and lost sight of project memory. The folders now move with the active account; your next switch migrates the old layout and repairs affected sessions.
• Nothing is deleted during a merge: set-aside copies go to ~/Library/Application Support/Account Switcher/conflicts.

macOS
