[FEATURE] Add the ability to manage multiple Claude accounts within the Claude Desktop app with easy switching between profiles.
### Preflight Checklist - [x] I have searched [existing requests](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20label%3Aenhancement) and this feature hasn't been requested yet - [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features) ### Problem Statement Claude Desktop currently requires users to sign out and sign back in to switch between different Claude accounts. This creates significant friction for users who maintain separate accounts for work and personal use, or manage multiple organizational accounts. The current workflow requires me to manually sign out, re-enter credentials, and lose my current context every time I need to switch accounts. This interrupts my workflow multiple times per day and makes the desktop app less efficient than using multiple browser profiles. ### Proposed Solution Add native multi-account profile switching to Claude Desktop, similar to how Slack handles workspace switching or how Chrome manages multiple user profiles. The interface should show a profile switcher (e.g., dropdown menu in the top-right corner or keyboard shortcut like Cmd+Shift+]) that allows quick switching between accounts without signing out. There should be a command or setting that allows users to add multiple accounts, with each account maintaining: - Separate conversation history - Individual settings and preferences - Distinct MCP server configurations (if applicable) - Visual indicator showing which account is currently active ### Alte
