pitboard switches only between accounts you enrol. Enrol the account each tool is signed in to, then sign in to the others through pitboard. Before you start, run Claude Code once and sign in. For OpenAI’s Codex CLI, see Before you enrol a Codex account first.

​
Add the account you are signed in to

The pitboard window opens by itself the first time you open the app. Later, click pitboard’s item in the menu bar, then choose Open pitboard.
  1. In the Accounts pane, find the tip Give this account a name and click Name.
  2. In Name This Account, enter a name such as personal, then click Save. The account appears under that name.
For Codex, this tip appears only once a Codex account is enrolled, so add the first with Add Account, as in the next section.
When you switch away from an account, pitboard parks its login: it keeps the login so you can switch back. Enrolling this account parks nothing. Enrolling a Claude Code account needs the network: pitboard asks Anthropic whose login it is.

​
Add another account

pitboard runs the tool’s own sign-in in a separate directory, so the account in use stays signed in.
  1. In pitboard’s menu, choose Add Account. The Add Account dialog opens.
  2. If the dialog has a Tool pop-up menu, click it, then choose Claude Code or Codex.
  3. Enter a name such as work, then click Sign In. Your browser opens.
  4. Sign in as the account you are adding. The dialog closes and the account appears in the list.
If the browser does not open, click Open Sign-In Page. If a Code field appears, paste the code your browser shows, then click Submit Code.
If the browser signs you in as an account already enrolled, pitboard refuses and names its label. For what --sign-in runs, see Account commands.
Do not add an account with Claude Code’s /login or with codex login. Both replace the login in use without pitboard parking it, so the account that was in use needs a browser sign-in again. codex login also revokes the login it replaces.

​
Choose a label

A label is the one-word name pitboard knows an account by, such as work. When you enrol an account or sign in to it again, work means Claude Code and codex/work means Codex. In the app, you choose the tool and enter the name without codex/. In pitboard use, pitboard forget and pitboard rename, work alone is enough while only one tool has a work account. Otherwise, write claude/work or codex/work. For the full rules, see Labels.

​
Rename an account

Renaming changes only the label.
In the Accounts pane, Control-click the account, then choose Rename. Change the name, then click Rename.

​
Forget an account

Forgetting an account deletes its parked login, so adding it again needs a browser sign-in. To forget the account in use, switch to another account first.
In the Accounts pane, select the account and press Delete, or Control-click it and choose Forget. Click Forget to confirm.
Forgetting does not revoke the parked login, so it stays valid until it expires. For what that means, see Security and privacy.
