Show HN: Run multiple Claude desktop accounts in isolated windows (Mac/Windows)

DeckSpace launched Claude Accounts, a paid utility for macOS and Windows that lets users run multiple isolated copies of the official Claude desktop app, one per account, eliminating the need to log in and out. Priced at $29 for a single license, $49 for a 5-pack, and $29 for a bundle with DeckVoice, the app supports SSO work accounts (Okta, Microsoft, Google) and includes full source code. The tool is independent and not affiliated with Anthropic, and it does not share logins or evade usage limits.

One window per account Work, personal, team, client — each account is its own real Claude desktop app. Work Claude, personal Claude, a client's Claude — juggling them by logging in and out is misery. Claude Accounts opens one Claude desktop app per account — each logged in once, forever. Works with SSO work accounts Okta, Microsoft, Google on macOS and Windows. No logging out. No Terminal. Just click. Instant download for macOS & Windows · one-time payment · secure checkout by Stripe Claude Accounts launches extra, fully isolated copies of the official Claude desktop app — one per account. Nothing about your normal Claude changes. A clean picker shows your main Claude plus every account you've added. Type a name — “work”, “studio”, anything. A fresh Claude window opens and asks you to log in. Once. Every account stays logged in permanently and opens side by side. Re-opening one just focuses its window. Work, personal, team, client — each account is its own real Claude desktop app. Each account logs in once and stays logged in. No more sign-out / sign-in roulette.

Both included in one purchase, same simple picker on each. The complete Swift + PowerShell source ships inside the download — read every line in any text editor.

It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic. It simply launches the official Claude desktop app you already installed, with an isolated data folder per account. You need your own Claude account for each profile you add free or paid — that's between you and Anthropic . Claude Accounts doesn't create accounts, share logins, or change any limits; it just lets each of your accounts have its own window. No. Owning more than one Claude account — say a work one and a personal one — is allowed; what Anthropic's terms prohibit is sharing a single login between people or trying to evade usage limits . Claude Accounts does neither. It simply opens the official Claude desktop app you already installed, pointed at a separate data folder per account you legitimately own the same way browsers run separate profiles . It never automates Claude, intercepts its traffic, shares credentials, or touches any limit — so there's nothing for it to flag. You remain responsible for following Anthropic's terms https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms on each account. No. It never touches the Claude app or your existing data. Each added account lives in its own folder ClaudeAccounts/<name and launches the official app pointed at that folder. Delete the folder and the account profile is gone.
