[FEATURE] Multi-account support in the macOS Desktop App

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

The macOS desktop app only supports a single logged-in account at a time. There is no way to switch between a personal and a work account without fully logging out and back in, which is disruptive to workflow.

Proposed Solution

An account switcher built into the macOS desktop app — similar to how tools like Slack and Linear handle multiple workspaces — allowing users to seamlessly switch between accounts without logging out.

Alternative Solutions

• Support launching multiple instances of the desktop app with isolated sessions
• A profile system similar to the CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR workaround already available in the CLI, but surfaced in the desktop app UI

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Use Case Example

A developer has two accounts:

• Work account — company-provided Team or Enterprise plan
• Personal account — individual Pro or Max plan

Currently, there is no way to use both accounts in the desktop app simultaneously or switch between them easily. This forces the use of a separate tool (e.g. OpenAI Codex) for personal use, when the preference would be to consolidate into a single tool.

Additional Context

• This limitation is currently the only reason a competing tool is being used alongside this app — resolving it would allow full consolidation.
• This is a feature worth paying for as part of a higher-tier plan if needed.

A CLI-only workaround exists via the undocumented CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR environment variable, but this does not address the desktop app use case.
