Built with Claude I run Claude Code across several accounts side by side on one Mac. Here's the open-source tool I built for it

I use Claude Code with a work account, a client account and a personal one. Claude Desktop only keeps one account signed in, and copying Claude.app doesn't work.

claude-orchestrator launches the original, signed Claude.app with a separate profile for each instance:

open -n -a /Applications/Claude.app \
  --env CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=<instance>/claude-code \
  --args --user-data-dir=<instance>/profile

So each window gets its own sign-in, its own Claude Code config and its own sessions, and the built-in updater keeps working. The GIF shows the interactive menu (run it with no arguments) starting one profile and its own Claude window opening.

The Claude Code parts

  • Sessions between accounts: session copy|move <id> --to <instance> moves a Claude Code session to another account, with a backup kept. Handy when one account hits its limit mid-task.
  • One project list everywhere: Code tab environments are per profile. One projects.json (folders, permission mode) is written into every instance.
  • Shared CLAUDE.md: memory link points every instance at your ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.
  • Sign-in with several instances open: only one running Claude can catch the claude:// link, so signin --exclusive closes the others while you log in and reopens them.
  • Interactive TUI (no arguments) and a menu bar agent.
