ccacct

Switch Claude Code (Claude.ai subscription) accounts on macOS using Keychain, then resume your last context via claude --continue.

This tool is macOS-only for now because it relies on Keychain.

Why this exists

Claude Code supports /login to switch accounts. This CLI adds:

• profiles (save multiple Claude.ai subscription logins)
• fast switching via Keychain
• one command to switch + resume context (ccacct switch <profile>)

Install (from source)

npm i
npm run build
npm link

Install (after publishing)

npm i -g ccacct

First-time setup: save your profiles

For each account you want to save:

1. Open Claude Code:

claude

2. In Claude Code, run:

/login

and sign in to the desired Claude.ai account.

3. Exit Claude Code, then save the current credential as a named profile:

ccacct save acc1

Repeat for your other accounts:

ccacct save acc2
ccacct save acc3

Switch account and keep context

From inside your project directory:

ccacct switch acc2

That will:

1. switch the Keychain credential to acc2
2. run claude --continue to resume your most recent session in this directory

Passing args through to claude

Use -- to pass arguments to claude:

ccacct switch acc2 -- --resume

Commands

• ccacct save <profile> — save the currently logged-in Claude Code credential into a profile
• ccacct use <profile> — switch to a profile (does NOT launch Claude)
• ccacct switch <profile> -- [args] — switch then run claude --continue
• ccacct list — list profiles (local index only; credentials are in Keychain)
• ccacct doctor — quick environment checks

Security

• Credentials are stored in macOS Keychain.
• Profile index is stored at ~/.config/ccacct/profiles.json (names only).

Troubleshooting

• If save says it can't read a credential: open claude, run /login, then try again.
• If switch works but Claude still appears on the old account: in Claude Code run /status to confirm; some versions may store credentials under a slightly different Keychain service name. Open an issue with your ccacct doctor output.
