Overview

Multi-Claude is a Mac utility for running multiple Claude Desktop accounts on one machine. Each account is treated as its own real Mac app, with a separate Dock icon, login, history, and data directory.

The core idea is to make account switching feel like switching between normal Mac apps. You can keep work and personal Claude sessions open at the same time, use Cmd-Tab to move between them, and avoid quitting or logging out when you change contexts.

Features

Separate account profiles

Create separate profiles for different Claude accounts, with each profile keeping its own login state and chat history.

Real Mac app per profile

Each profile runs as its own Mac app, so it gets a distinct Dock icon, Spotlight result, and Launchpad tile.

Side-by-side account switching

Open work and personal accounts at the same time and move between them without quitting or signing out.

First-run migration

On first run, the app can detect an existing Claude Desktop install and offer to import that history into a named profile.

Local profile storage

Profiles stay on your Mac and use separate data directories, with no account creation or cloud sync required for the basic workflow.

Standard Mac installation and activation

The install flow is signed and notarized, and the app activates by pasting a license key or using the Lemon Squeezy activation link.

Use cases

Separate work and personal usage
Keep a work Claude account and a personal Claude account open side by side so you can switch contexts quickly without signing out.
Multiple project profiles
Create profiles for client, side project, or team-related accounts when you need each one to preserve its own chat history and login state.
Migrate an existing install
Import an existing Claude Desktop setup into Multi-Claude, then add more profiles instead of rebuilding your history from scratch.
Mac-native account switching
Use the app on a Mac where you want each account to behave like a normal app, complete with its own Dock and Launchpad presence.
