Show HN: Claude-account now works on macOS too

A few days ago the author posted **claude-account** on Hacker News. After more feedback and testing than expected, the most requested change shipped: **macOS** support. The tool now runs on both **Linux** and **macOS**, with the same core flow of adding accounts once and switching between them by command.

Mechanically, **claude-account** targets **Claude Code** multi-account use. You register a work account and a personal account once, then switch with a simple command instead of logging out and back in. That keeps credentials and session setup in one place and removes the repeated login cycle when the active context changes.

For engineers who use **Claude Code** at work and off the clock, the pain is concrete: two identities, one CLI, and constant re-auth. A one-time add plus a switch command cuts that friction on the two platforms where many developers actually run the tool. The macOS port matters because a large share of local **Claude Code** use is on Mac laptops, not only Linux boxes.

The Show HN thread itself drove the roadmap: comments, testing, and contributions made **macOS** the top ask, and the author shipped that before expanding scope. That is a small, focused open-source response in a space where multi-account CLI tools for AI coding assistants are still thin. The project lives at the author’s GitHub under **hamzarehmandeveloper/claude-account** (link truncated in the source note).

Practical takeaway: if you keep separate work and personal **Claude Code** accounts and already run on Linux or macOS, this is worth trying for command-level switching without re-login. Watch whether further platform or account-management requests show up in the same thread and repo, since that feedback loop is what produced the macOS release.
