Keeping Your Work and Personal Claude Accounts Separate on One Computer

If you use Claude for work and for personal projects, putting both through one logged-in app is a problem. Your work chats and personal chats pile into the same history. You forget which account you're on. And if your work account is managed by your company, you may not want personal prompts running through it at all.

The answer isn't to constantly log out and back in. It's to keep each account in its own window, permanently separated, both available at the same time.

Why one app, two accounts gets messy

• Mixed history. Work and personal conversations land in the same list.
• Wrong-account mistakes. It's easy to send a personal prompt on your work account, or vice versa.
• Context loss. Every switch logs you out, so you lose your place.
• Compliance worry. Company-managed accounts shouldn't carry your personal data.

The clean setup: isolated windows per account

Claude Accounts gives each account its own isolated, persistent window. Your "Work" Claude and your "Personal" Claude are completely separate — separate sessions, separate history, separate windows — and both stay logged in so you can flip between them instantly without signing in and out.

It's a $14 one-time tool for Mac and Windows. You add each account once, name it, and from then on it's one click to open either.

How to set it up

1. Get Claude Accounts.
2. Add an account called "Work", log in once.
3. Add another called "Personal", log in once.
4. Open both. They run side by side, fully isolated.

Now your work stays work and your personal stays personal — on the same computer, at the same time.
