Personae runs multiple Claude accounts side by side — on the desktop and in the terminal. Each Claude Desktop profile gets its own window, history, and colour; each Claude Code account keeps its own real login. Work, Personal, and every client stay signed in at once — no more logging out to switch.
Login, history, cache, and settings isolated for this profile.
Personae manages the Claude Desktop app and Claude Code from one place. Pick the surface you work in — each keeps its accounts fully separate.
Every profile is a full Claude Desktop in its own window — separate login, chat history, and a colour so you always know which one you're in.
Each account carries its own real Claude login — full email and org identity — and runs on its own. Switch by opening a project, not by logging out.
Each profile is its own account with its own identity. Personae gives it a tinted icon and accent so you always know which Claude you're talking to.
Every Desktop profile and every CLI account gets its own data directory — separate login, history, cookies, and settings. Nothing from one account is ever visible to another.
No single-instance lock, no signing out. Keep several Desktop windows and several Claude Code terminals live at the same time.
Each CLI account carries its own real Claude sign-in — full email and org identity — and refreshes on its own. Type claude and it runs as the right account, every time. Or point an account at an API key instead, with its own base URL and model.
Bind a folder to an account and Personae wires CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR into VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf or Antigravity — every terminal opens Claude Code already signed in to that account.
Every CLI account shows when its session runs out and how much of your quota it has burned — this session and this week — pulled live from Anthropic when you ask. One click to sign it in again.
Launch accounts in the terminal you actually use — or any program you point it at. Sign in through the browser you choose, optionally in a clean signed-out session so a second account doesn't inherit the first one's login. Light, dark, or follow the system.
Pick from 11 tints. Each profile's icon is tinted to match and registered with the OS, so it appears in Spotlight and the Dock as its own app — plus a green dot here when it's running.
/ to search, ↑↓ to move, ⏎ to launch, ⌘N for a new one. Switch accounts without touching the mouse.
No account to create, no server, no telemetry. Personae orchestrates the Claude you already installed — everything stays on your machine.
A tiny native app built on Tauri — a few megabytes, not another Chromium. It wraps your installed Claude Desktop and Claude Code, so it keeps working after every auto-update.
“Work”, “Personal”, a client — whatever you juggle. Choose Desktop for a full app window, or CLI for Claude Code in the terminal.
Personae opens Claude's own secure sign-in. A Desktop profile keeps its window logged in; each CLI account gets its own real login that refreshes itself.
Launch the window, or point a CLI account at a project folder and Personae opens your IDE with Claude Code already signed in. Repeat for as many accounts as you need.
No sign-up, no subscription, no telemetry either way. Pro is a single purchase that unlocks unlimited accounts on the machines you actually use.
Secure checkout by Lemon Squeezy. Your key arrives by email; paste it into Personae under Settings → License.
Yes. Personae has no instance limit — open as many Claude Desktop windows and Claude Code terminals as you like, all at once, each signed in to a different account.
Yes. Create a CLI account for each login; each keeps its own real Claude sign-in — full email and org identity — and runs independently. Open a project and its IDE terminals launch claude already signed in to that account, so you never log out to switch.
Install Personae, add a profile or CLI account for each login (Work, Personal, a client…), then launch. Every one is fully isolated with its own login and history — sign in once and it stays signed in.
VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Antigravity — any VS Code-family editor. Personae sets CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR for the project folder so its terminals use the right Claude Code account automatically.
macOS 11+, Windows 10+, and Linux (x86_64 — a .deb for Debian/Ubuntu/Mint and an AppImage for everything else). Desktop profiles are macOS and Windows only, because Anthropic doesn't ship Claude Desktop for Linux. Claude Code (CLI) accounts and IDE workspaces work on all three — Windows and Linux are in beta.
No. There's no account, no server, and no telemetry. Personae only orchestrates the Claude you already installed; each profile and account's data stays on your machine, isolated from the others.
No. Personae wraps your installed Claude rather than repackaging it, so it keeps working after Claude's auto-updates.
Free for up to 2 accounts (Desktop profiles and CLI accounts combined), with every feature included. Personae Pro — a one-time $19 purchase — unlocks unlimited accounts on up to 3 machines. Accounts you already have are never removed. Personae is an independent companion tool — not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Anthropic.
Download it, add your first profile or CLI account, and keep every Claude — desktop and terminal — signed in at once.
macOS — right-click the app and choose Open, then confirm. (Or go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.)
Windows — if a blue “Windows protected your PC” box appears, click More info → Run anyway.
Linux — .deb: sudo apt install ./Personae-Linux-x86_64.deb, then find Personae in your app menu. AppImage: chmod +x Personae-Linux-x86_64.AppImage and run it. Desktop profiles aren’t offered on Linux (there is no Claude Desktop for it); CLI accounts and IDE workspaces are.
Personae isn’t code-signed yet, so the OS shows this one-time warning. It’s safe — everything runs locally, with no account or telemetry.
