The menu bar app gives each enrolled account a window on its tool’s site: claude.ai for Claude Code, chatgpt.com for Codex. Each window keeps website data of its own, so your accounts can be signed in side by side. Pitboard never reads, copies or changes what a window keeps.

​
Open an account’s window

In Pitboard’s menu, choose Open claude.ai as work. When the site has several accounts, choose Open claude.ai, then the account. In the Pitboard window, you can also Control-click an account and choose Open claude.ai or Open chatgpt.com. While a Pitboard window is open, the File menu and the Dock icon’s menu offer the same items. Each account has one window, titled with its label, and a rename keeps it signed in. A login with no label has no window. Pages on other sites open in your default browser, so anything you connect there goes to the account your browser is signed in to. For every item, note and shortcut, see Account windows.

​
Sign in

The first time a window opens on this Mac, a note at its top says which email address to sign in with, and how. Google does not allow its sign-in inside apps, so the window stops it and does not send it to your browser. Gmail, Google Drive and Google Calendar cannot be connected in a window either.

claude.ai

1

Ask for the email

Enter the email address the note names, then click Continue with email.
2

Tap the link on your phone

Open the email on your phone and tap its link. On this Mac, the link would open in your browser instead of the window.
3

Enter the code

In the window, enter the code claude.ai shows on your phone.
Google single sign-on does not work in a claude.ai window.

​
chatgpt.com

Enter the account’s email address, then its password or the code chatgpt.com emails you. You can also click Continue with Microsoft or Continue with Apple. Passkeys do not work in the window. A sign-in page that chatgpt.com opens in a new window appears in a sign-in window, which shares the account’s data.

​
Open a page from your browser

Share a claude.ai or chatgpt.com page with Pitboard to open it as one of your accounts.
1

Share the page

In Safari, click Share in the toolbar or choose File > Share. In Chrome or Firefox, choose File > Share. Then choose Pitboard.
2

Choose the account

Select an account in the Open Link window. It first selects the one you chose last for that site, or else the account in use.
3

Open the page

Click Open. If the account’s window is open, the page loads there, and Back returns to what it showed.
Anything on your Mac can hand Pitboard a link, so nothing opens until you choose. Pitboard refuses a page on another site with Can’t Open This Link. It refuses a site’s sign-in link too, which would sign the window in as whoever it belongs to. With no account on the page’s site, Pitboard shows No claude.ai Account. Click Add Account, and the link waits until you choose the account. If Pitboard is not in the Share menu, see Pitboard is missing from the Share menu.

​
Downloads

Downloads go to your Downloads folder and never replace a file: a second report.pdf becomes report 2.pdf. A download from the site’s own page is saved at once. One from another site, or from a frame inside the page such as an artifact, asks first. The toolbar’s Downloads button lists a window’s downloads, and there you can cancel one or show it in Finder. Downloads go on after the window closes. Quitting Pitboard stops them for good and deletes what they wrote, so it asks first.

​
Remove a window’s data

To sign one window out, bring it to the front and choose File > Remove Website Data, then click Remove. Pitboard deletes the cookies and everything else the site keeps in that window on this Mac. The window starts again at the site’s home page, with the sign-in note. The site is not told, so the account stays signed in on your other devices and browsers. Forgetting an account, in the app or with pitboard forget, deletes its window’s data too. The app does it after its next successful read of the accounts. For the data it keeps for another Pitboard directory, see Account windows.
