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.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
