Pitboard switches only between accounts you enrol. Each one gets a label, the name you switch to it by. Claude Desktop accounts are added inside Claude, on macOS, as Use Pitboard with Claude Desktop shows.

​
Add the account you are signed in to

Click Add beside the tool in the welcome window, or on the row marked Not added yet in Accounts. Pitboard adds the account under a name from its email address. Keep that name in Name This Account, or enter another such as personal, then click Done.
Codex has no such row: Pitboard reads its login only once you add it, as Add Codex accounts says. On the command line:

​
Add another account

Pitboard runs the tool’s own sign-in in a private directory, so the account in use stays signed in.
1

Open the dialog

Click Pitboard’s item in the menu bar, then choose Add Account. Where Pitboard finds more than one tool, choose Claude Code or Codex in the Tool pop-up menu.
2

Sign in

Click Sign In, then sign in as the account you are adding, in the browser that opens. If a Code field appears, paste the code the page gives you, then click Submit Code. To sign in from another browser, click Copy Link and paste the address there. If no browser opens, click Open.
3

Name the account

Pitboard adds the account under a name from its email address. Keep that name in Name This Account, or enter another such as work, then click Done.
If the dialog says Pitboard cannot find the tool, see Pitboard cannot find a tool. On the command line, sign in when your browser opens, and paste the code the browser shows if Claude Code asks for one.
Where nothing is signed in to the tool, as on a new computer, switch to the account to put its login in use. Each organisation your Anthropic account belongs to is a separate account, as are your personal ChatGPT plan and each workspace you belong to. Enrol each under its own label, and sign in to that organisation or workspace in the browser.
Do not add an account with Claude Code’s /login or with codex login. Each replaces the login in use without Pitboard parking it first, so the account that was in use needs a browser sign-in. codex login also revokes the login it replaces: see Why Codex logins are moved, not copied.

​
Choose a label

On the command line, a label names its tool: work for Claude Code, codex/work for Codex and, on macOS, desktop/work for Claude Desktop. In the app, a name is the label alone, and the tool is the one you signed in to. Labels gives the rules.

​
Rename an account

Renaming changes only the label. The account keeps its parked login, and its account window stays signed in.
In Accounts, select the account and click Rename in the inspector, or Control-click it and choose Rename. Enter the new name, then click Rename.
On the command line:

​
Forget an account

To forget the account in use, switch to another account first. Forgetting an account deletes its parked login on this computer, with everything its account window keeps, or a Claude Desktop account’s folders set aside.
In Accounts, select the account and press Delete, or Control-click it and choose Remove Account. Click Remove to confirm.
On the command line, pitboard forget old asks first, and --yes skips the question. Pitboard does not revoke the login it deletes. That login stays valid until it expires: see SECURITY.md.
