Claude Launcher: Multi-Account Switcher
One-click account switching for Claude Code power users, no more re-login.
- Problem
- Claude Code users (especially in regions with restrictions) often hit the 5-hour usage limit and need to rotate multiple official accounts. Community tools like cc-switch only switch API providers and overwrite the first account when adding a second OAuth profile. Manually specifying config paths each time is tedious.
- Solution
- A cross-platform desktop utility (or CLI + menubar) that creates an encrypted profile per Claude account. One click switches the active profile, automatically writes the token to Claude Code's shared credentials, and syncs token refreshes bidirectionally. Also offers auto-install of Claude Code, version management, and config backup.
- Users
- Developers using multiple Claude official accounts, teams, and power users who frequently switch accounts for testing or usage.
- MVP
- Encrypted local storage for multiple OAuth tokens; one-click switch writing to Claude Code shared credentials; bidirectional sync with background token refresh; simple GUI (menubar or small window) to manage accounts; import/export profiles.
- Revenue
- One-time purchase ($9.99) or subscription ($1.99/mo) with 7-day free trial. Team plan with shared account pools and audit features at higher price.
- Why now
- Claude Code usage is surging with frequent rate limits, making multi-account needs real and urgent; indie developers can build quickly without relying on official APIs, avoiding direct competition.
