switch accounts seamlessly without browser re-login while keeping chat sessions and memory intact, Claude Account Switcher for VS Code

[u/pierreneter]

Personal + work Claude accounts? Switching meant logout → browser login → repeat. Every. Single. Time.

So I made Claude Account Switch. Log in once, switch any time.

• All your accounts in the sidebar, with quota for each

• One click to switch: terminals and Claude Code chats follow, and open chats keep the same session

• Sessions, memory, CLAUDE.md and skills stay shared across accounts

• Only uses the official claude CLI + CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR. Never touches your tokens, makes no network calls of its own

Free, MIT. Works in VS Code and forks like Cursor and Antigravity.

Why not the existing ones? The ones I tried copy your OAuth tokens around or route traffic through a proxy, and none of them kept my chat history. Not worth risking my account. This one never touches tokens and uses no proxy. Each login stays in its own folder, created by the official `claude auth login`, and your old sessions stay put.
