New tool allows simultaneous Claude Code accounts without logging out

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new open-source command-line tool called crewrota has been developed to allow users to manage multiple Claude Code accounts simultaneously without needing to log out and back in. The tool leverages the CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR environment variable, enabling each account to have its own dedicated configuration folder.
