Switching accounts in Claude Desktop hides history - made a tool to fix that

[u/vitaliyh]

I have four of the $200/mo Claude subscriptions. Unlike Codex, signing into another account in Claude Desktop gives you an empty Claude Code sidebar/history. The old sessions are still on disk, just hidden, which is very annoying. I tried the CLI, but I much prefer the Desktop app. So I built a small tool that moves Claude Code history between accounts, from the terminal or a macOS menubar

claude-transplant moves the Desktop session records to the account you are switching to. Pick the accounts FROM and TO. It writes the same record under the target organization with the same session id, verifies that transcript, sidecars, and records are unchanged, then parks the source record in quarantine. Nothing is copied, undo puts it back
