Claude Desktop Manager - two Claude profiles running in parallel
The problem

One Claude window is never enough.

Claude Desktop only lets you use one account at a time. If you juggle work, personal, and client accounts - you're constantly logging out and back in, mixing contexts, and losing focus.

🔁

No parallel work

Only one Claude window open at a time. Switch accounts = close everything and start over.

🔒

Constant logouts

Switching between a work and personal account means logging out every single time.

😵

Mixed contexts

Work prompts and personal chats in the same window. One profile per purpose - that's the fix.

Each profile gets its own isolated browser data folder. Log in once per profile, leave them all open simultaneously. Switch context without ever logging out again.

Three features that change how you use Claude every day.

⚡ Pro

QuickPrompt

Define a text that gets automatically injected into Claude every time you launch a profile. Perfect for custom personas: "You are a senior TypeScript developer…"

  • Per-profile prompt, stored persistently
  • Entered into Claude automatically on launch
  • Configurable from the profile options menu
🪟 Pro

QuickAsk

Press Ctrl+Shift+Space from anywhere - a floating window pops up instantly. Type, pick a profile, hit Enter. Claude answers without you leaving what you're doing.

Backup & export

Part of your work with Claude exists only on your PC: Claude Code conversations and Cowork sessions. And Claude Code deletes them after 30 days by default. MultiDeskClaude copies them every day, account by account, into the folder of your choice.

  • Claude Code (Code tab included), Cowork sessions with their files, settings and MCP servers
  • Open any saved session as a standalone web page
  • Free check: how many sessions exist only on your PC, and how many already lost their messages
  • Stays on your PC: no password, token or cookie is copied, nothing is sent anywhere

Not included: claude.ai chats, which live on Anthropic's servers

Windows will show a SmartScreen warning - here's why, and what to do

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Can I really run multiple Claude accounts at the same time?

Yes - that's the core feature. Each profile gets a separate browser data folder, so every Claude window is completely isolated. You can be logged into different Anthropic accounts simultaneously, or the same account across different profiles. The full guide: how to use multiple Claude accounts at once on Windows. Stuck on the login step? Watch the 2-minute video.

Will it break when Claude Desktop updates?

No. Claude Desktop Manager automatically detects the new Claude executable path after each update. You don't need to do anything.

Is this affiliated with Anthropic?

No. Claude Desktop Manager is an independent third-party tool. It is not made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Anthropic.

What happens to my data if I delete a profile?

The profile is removed from the list, but the underlying session data folder is preserved. You can recover it at any time by creating a new profile pointing to the same folder.

Is it safe? Does it send data anywhere?

Claude Desktop Manager only contacts Gumroad's API to verify your license key. Nothing else is sent. Your Claude session data stays entirely on your machine.

Which Windows versions are supported?

Windows 10 (build 19041 or later) and Windows 11, on both x64 and ARM64. Claude Desktop must be installed first.

Can I use it with Claude Code, not just Claude Desktop?

Yes. Every profile is also a fully isolated Claude Code environment, with its own configuration kept separate from your global one. Open a terminal for any profile in one click, and use the Sessions board to see which Claude Code agent is working, waiting for you, done or stalled. See the guide for details.

How do I switch between profiles quickly?

Three ways: assign a global hotkey to each profile, or press the global switcher (default Ctrl+`) to open a keyboard palette and filter to any profile, or click the tray icon. The switcher and per-profile hotkeys are available on every tier, including Free.

Can each profile have different MCP servers?

Yes. Each profile has its own MCP configuration, editable from a built-in validated JSON editor (Options ⋯ → MCP servers). You can also seed a new profile with another profile's MCP setup - without copying its login.

Does using multiple accounts put my Anthropic accounts at risk?

Not by how it works. Claude Desktop Manager doesn't bypass or modify anything: each profile runs the official Claude Desktop app, signed in to an account you own - exactly like being signed in on two different computers. Each account keeps its own subscription and its own usage limits, so nothing is being evaded. What Anthropic's terms prohibit is sharing one account between several people, or creating accounts to get around usage limits - this tool does neither for you. If in doubt about your specific situation, refer to Anthropic's Terms of Service.
