Click a shortcut. Each one opens its own Claude, side by side.

A work account and a personal account. One laptop.

Claude Desktop keeps one sign-in at a time. Switching means signing out, signing back in and losing the sidebar you were working in.

Sign out, sign in, repeat.Every switch costs a login and breaks your flow.

Chats stay behind.Sessions live with the account that started them.

Settings get mixed.One memory and one set of skills for clients, work and home.

Own memory and settings

Its own Claude Code memory, settings, skills and history. Use it for a client or employer account that must stay apart.

Shares knowledge with main

The same CLAUDE.md, memory, skills and history as your main Claude. Only the sign-in is separate. You can copy a chat to this twin and keep going in the same project.

You can switch mode later. It applies the next time the twin opens.

Real setup

Built for three accounts on one PC

DeskTwin started on the maker's own Windows PC: a personal Claude account and two work accounts, all open at the same time.

The main Claude was never changed: same sign-in, same folders.
One work twin shares the main account's knowledge (CLAUDE.md, memory, skills) and signs in on its own.
The other work twin keeps its own memory and settings.
Chats were copied from one sidebar to another and continued in the same project folder.
Official Claude updates reach every copy, because they all run the same install.

— Hamid, maker of DeskTwin

Questions

Does DeskTwin change Claude?

No. It starts the official Claude Desktop you already installed, with a different data folder for each twin. It does not modify, patch or copy Claude.

Which Claude install does it need?

The standard Windows installer from claude.ai/download. If you only have the Microsoft Store version, DeskTwin will tell you; you can install the standard version next to it.

What happens when Claude updates?

Every twin runs the same installation, so official updates reach all of them at once.

Do the accounts share usage or tokens?

No. Each account uses its own plan. If you continue one chat from two accounts, tokens count on the account that sends the message, and the first reply after switching costs more because the cache does not move. Do not type in the same chat from two accounts at the same time.

Why does the taskbar show the normal Claude icon?

Windows takes the taskbar icon from the app itself. DeskTwin puts the number on the desktop shortcut only.

Can an office or a team use one key?

One key works on the number of PCs it was bought for: 1 PC for $4.99, or 3 PCs for $8.99. For an office, buy one key per PC (or per three PCs). A key can move to a new PC with "Remove from this PC" on the old one.

Connecting a connector or app inside a twin?

Fill in the connection in the browser as usual. When the page says it is connected, do not click "Open Claude": that button opens your main Claude. Go back to the twin window and click Connect again. The twin picks up the connection.

Signing in to a twin by email?

Open the email link on your phone, not on this PC. On the phone choose to get a code, then type the code into the twin window. A link opened on this PC goes to your main Claude.

How do I undo everything?

Click "Undo everything". Twin folders made by DeskTwin go to the Recycle Bin and its shortcuts are removed. Your main Claude folders (%APPDATA%\Claude and .claude) are never touched, and folders you added yourself stay where they are.

What does DeskTwin send over the internet?

Only the license check: your key and a random ID for this PC. It does not read your chats or send them anywhere.

Windows says "Windows protected your PC".

DeskTwin is new and not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn on first run. Click "More info", then "Run anyway".
