FR-AI / ANALYSISWhy it is worth attention
It solves a real pain point—Claude Desktop normally stores everything in a single user directory—using a clever, non-invasive approach that never modifies the original binary and survives app updates.
Who it is for
- Claude Desktop users who need separate work and personal accounts
- Developers running multiple MCP server configurations for different projects
- Power users who test different setups or share a machine
- Teams that require isolated Claude Code sessions per project
Use cases
- Switch between a work and a personal Claude account without logging out
- Run distinct MCP environments for each project to avoid configuration conflicts
- Copy Claude Code sessions from one profile to another for quick context sharing
- Create a dedicated profile for experimenting with Claude features or settings
Strengths
- Total isolation via environment variable override—no binary patching or copying
- Session sync feature lets you copy code sessions between profiles
- Cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux) with native installers
- Live profile status, system tray support, and keyboard shortcuts for smooth workflow
Considerations
- On Windows, Cowork VM bundles are not isolated—they are shared system-wide
- Windows login requires email+verification code, not 'Continue with browser'
- Claude Desktop auto-updates can break the saved binary path, requiring manual re‑selection in Settings
README quick start
Claude Desktop Profiles
Run multiple isolated Claude Desktop profiles — each with its own sessions, MCP servers, and preferences.
What it does
Claude Desktop stores everything — sessions, cookies, MCP server configs, preferences — in a single user directory. That means one account, one session, one workspace.
Claude Desktop Profiles lets you create multiple profiles, each completely isolated from the others. Switch between a personal account and a work account, or run separate MCP environments per project — no conflicts, no cross-contamination.
Each profile gets its own home directory. Claude Desktop Profiles starts Claude Desktop with that directory as its home, so isolation is total and update-safe. The Claude Desktop binary is never modified.
Features
Multiple isolated profiles
Create as many profiles as you need — work, personal, per-project. Each profile gets its own sessions, cookies, MCP server configs, and preferences. Launching a profile starts Claude Desktop with a completely separate home directory, so nothing leaks between profiles. The Claude Desktop binary is never modified and isolation survives app updates.
Session sync
Copy Claude Code sessions from one profile to another. Open the Sync dialog on any profile card, browse projects, select sessions, pick target profiles, and sync. The sessions appear in Claude Desktop's Recent the next time you launch the target profile.
Other
- Emoji icons, rename, delete
- Live running status per profile
- System tray support
- Keyboard shortcuts:
