Claude IDE Switcher for Windows

🚀 Seamlessly switch between personal and work Claude Code accounts across multiple IDEs on Windows

🎯 Problem

Are you tired of manually logging in and out of different Claude Code accounts when switching between personal and work projects? This tool solves that problem by isolating Claude Code configurations for each IDE instance.

✨ Features

• Complete Account Isolation: Separate Claude Code accounts for personal and work
• Multiple IDE Support: VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Antigravity
• Google Account Switching: Special support for Antigravity with Google account isolation
• Simple Commands: Easy-to-use PowerShell functions
• Zero Configuration Conflicts: Each profile maintains its own settings

🛠️ Supported IDEs

IDE	Personal Account	Work Account	Google Account Switching
VS Code	✅	✅	❌
Cursor	✅	✅	❌
Windsurf	✅	✅	❌
Antigravity	✅	✅	✅

📋 Prerequisites

• Windows 10/11
• PowerShell 5.1 or higher
• At least one of the supported IDEs installed

🚀 Quick Start

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/claude-ide-switcher.git
cd claude-ide-switcher

2. Install the Functions

# Open your PowerShell profile
notepad $PROFILE

# Copy the desired switcher scripts from the scripts/ folder
# Paste them into your profile and save

3. Reload Your Profile

. $PROFILE

4. Start Using

# Launch VS Code with personal Claude account
code-personal

# Launch VS Code with work Claude account
code-work

# Launch Antigravity with work Claude AND work Google account
antigravity-work-google

📖 Usage Examples

VS Code

# Personal account (default settings)
code-personal
code-personal C:\MyPersonalProjects

# Work account (isolated profile)
code-work
code-work C:\MyWorkProjects

Cursor

# Personal account
cursor-personal

# Work account
cursor-work

Windsurf

# Personal account
windsurf-personal

# Work account
windsurf-work

Antigravity

# Personal Claude account only
antigravity-personal

# Work Claude account only
antigravity-work

# Work Claude + Work Google account (fully isolated)
antigravity-work-google

🔧 How It Works

The switcher uses environment variables to isolate Claude Code configurations:

• CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR: Points to different configuration directories
• --user-data-dir: (Antigravity only) Isolates browser profile and Google login

Each account maintains:

• Separate API keys
• Independent settings
• Isolated login sessions
• No cross-contamination

📂 Directory Structure

After setup, your home directory will contain:

C:\Users\YourName\
├── .claude-personal\      # Personal Claude config
├── .claude-work\           # Work Claude config
├── .antigravity-work-profile\  # Work Antigravity + Google (optional)
├── .cursor-work-profile\       # Work Cursor profile (optional)
└── .windsurf-work-profile\     # Work Windsurf profile (optional)

⚠️ Important Notes

• First launch of each profile will require Claude Code login
• Work profiles are completely isolated from personal profiles
• GitHub account switching is handled separately by each IDE
• Google account switching only works with Antigravity using the -google variant

🐛 Troubleshooting

Functions not found after adding to profile

# Reload your profile
. $PROFILE

IDE not launching

# Check if IDE is in PATH
Get-Command code  # or cursor, windsurf, antigravity

Claude Code not switching

• Make sure you're logged out before switching profiles
• Delete the config directory and login again
• Check if CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is set correctly

💡 Tips

• Use descriptive project folders to remember which profile to use
• Set up keyboard shortcuts for frequently used commands
• Consider creating aliases for shorter commands
• Keep your work and personal projects in separate root directories
