CLUSTER CLAUDE-DESKTOP-SIDE · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-14

Multi-account Claude Desktop managers

This cluster comprises desktop utilities that let users run multiple Claude Desktop accounts simultaneously, typically in separate named/colored windows with isolated profiles, distinct icons, and optional autostart. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from (0 dated entries), so the cluster's early entry pattern is unknown. Traction is led by claude-graft (52 stars), with MultipleClaudeProfile and Personae both at 6 stars.
