What it does

Account Switcher (acswi) keeps a saved sign-in for every account you use in an app. Pick one in the window, the tray or the terminal, and the app is signed in to it, with no password or browser sign-in.

• Works with command-line tools and desktop apps. GitHub CLI, Azure CLI, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Discord and (on Windows) GitHub Desktop are built in; any other app can be added with a short file.
• Saved sign-ins stay on your computer, encrypted for your user: with Windows DPAPI, or with a key in your Linux keyring.
• Scripts and AI agents can switch accounts by name, and never see a password or token.

Note

Early version. Switching GitHub CLI, Azure CLI, Discord and Cursor is tested on real accounts on Windows; the other built-in apps so far only in automated tests. Linux support is new: it passes the automated tests on Ubuntu and the window runs there, but no app has been switched on real Linux accounts yet.

How it's different

Most account switchers cover one app, usually Codex or Claude Code. TcNo Account Switcher covers many, mostly game launchers like Steam, Battle.net and Epic, and is the better pick for those. acswi is made for the tools you work with:

• One place for command-line tools and desktop apps.
• When an app already keeps several accounts (GitHub CLI, Azure CLI), acswi uses that instead of copying files.
• acswi learn watches an app while you sign in and writes its definition for you.

Get started

1. Download acswi-windows-x64.zip or acswi-linux-x64.tar.gz and unpack it into a folder on your PATH, such as ~/.local/bin on Linux.
2. Open acswi-desktop for the window and tray menu, or type acswi in a terminal.
3. Add a second account to an app. acswi saves the one you're signed in to now, then lets you sign in the new one. After that, acswi lists your accounts and you type a number to switch:

acswi add codex
acswi

What you need

• Windows 11. Windows 10 with the WebView2 runtime should work but is not tested.
• Or Linux on x86-64 with glibc 2.35 or newer (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 36 and later). The window needs WebKitGTK 4.1 (libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 on Debian and Ubuntu), and the tray icon a desktop with AppIndicator support.
• The apps you want to switch, each signed in once through acswi.
• To build it yourself instead: Rust, plus the Visual Studio C++ build tools on Windows or the WebKitGTK development packages on Linux (how).

What's inside

• apps/acswi-desktop/ · The window and tray menu.
• crates/acswi-cli/ · The acswi command.
• crates/acswi-core/ · Saves, encrypts and restores sign-ins; shared by both.
• defs/ · The built-in apps, one short file each.
• docs/ · Commands, adding an app, and how switching works.
