Pitboard

Switch Claude Code, Codex and Claude Desktop between your own accounts without signing out, and see what each Claude Code and Codex account has left.

Pitboard keeps the login of each account you are not using, called a parked login. A switch puts the chosen account's parked login where Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex CLI or Claude Desktop reads it. Your history, settings and projects stay where they are.

Open Claude Code sessions follow a switch with no restart. A running codex keeps the old account until it starts again. Claude Desktop switches on macOS only, while Claude is closed. The app offers to quit Claude, and the command line refuses while it is open.

The menu bar app also gives each Claude Code and Codex account its own window on claude.ai or chatgpt.com.

Pitboard has no server of its own and no telemetry. It sends each login only to the service that issued it, and sends nothing for a Claude Desktop account. What leaves your machine lists every request.

The command line runs on macOS and Linux, and the app on macOS 14 or later. Pitboard is tested on macOS. On Linux it builds and passes its tests, but has not been run with real logins.

Install

curl -fsSL https://usepitboard.com/install.sh | sh

With Homebrew:

brew install datlechin/tap/pitboard              # the command line
brew install --cask datlechin/tap/pitboard-app   # the app

The app includes the command line, so install one or the other. Install Pitboard covers Cargo, release files and updates. Verify a download checks the script before you run it.

Removing Pitboard without pitboard uninstall leaves its parked logins behind. Follow Remove Pitboard.

Quickstart

pitboard enroll personal        # the account Claude Code is signed in to
pitboard enroll work --sign-in  # another one, through Claude Code's own sign-in
pitboard                        # what each account has left
pitboard use work               # switch Claude Code to work

In the app, click Pitboard's item in the menu bar and choose the account. The Quickstart shows each step and what it prints. For Codex or Claude Desktop, put codex/ or desktop/ before each label, as Use Pitboard with Codex and Use Pitboard with Claude Desktop explain.

Add accounts only this way, never with Claude Code's /login or with codex login. Each replaces the login in use without Pitboard parking it. The account that was in use then needs a browser sign-in. Never choose Log out in Claude: it ends the login Claude holds at claude.ai, and Pitboard cannot bring it back.
