A multi-profile launcher for Mac

Every account, side by side.

Dockhat launches separate copies of Claude Desktop, each with its own login, chats, settings and Dock icon, so a work account and a personal account never mix. Switch from the menu bar, the Dock or the keyboard instead of signing out and back in.

24-hour free trial · No analytics or telemetry · No account to create

You use your own Claude accounts. Dockhat never sees your chats.

Native on

  • Mac macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel

Real separation

Each profile has its own data folder, so logins, chats, settings and plugins are never shared. Claude Code in the terminal gets its own configuration per profile too.

Its own Dock icon

Every profile is a separate app with a hat icon in its own color, symbol or picture, and a Dock title you can read at a glance.

Your data stays yours

No analytics, no telemetry, no hosted backend for your chats. Profile settings can sync through your own iCloud.

One click away

Open, focus or quit any profile from the menu bar, a global shortcut or a Dock launcher.

Who it is for

Described only by what the app does.

Work and personal

Keep a company account and a personal account running at the same time, with nothing carried over between them.

Freelancers and consultants

One profile per client, each with its own login and history, easy to tell apart by icon and color.

Developers

Per-profile Claude Code in the terminal with simple commands such as claude-work and claude-personal.

A look at Dockhat

Screenshots are on the way. Until then, the sections below describe exactly what is in the app.

Everything in the app

Profiles

Separate accounts that run side by side.

Unlimited profiles

Create as many as you need. Each runs from its own copy of the app with its own data folder.

Isolation check

Dockhat warns before two profiles would share a folder, and shows the account email each profile is signed in to.

Import existing data

Copy the data of an existing Claude install into a profile, or use it in place. The original is never changed.

Stays current

Profile copies refresh automatically when you update the original app. Profile data is never touched.

Dock and menu bar

Get to the right account fast.

Own icon per profile

A hat in the profile's color with your symbol, initial or picture. Never another app's logo.

Pin to the Dock

Pin any profile with its own name, or create a launcher app you can find in Spotlight.

Menu bar control

See what is running, open or quit a profile, open all or quit all, and keep your Mac awake.

Keyboard shortcuts

Optional global shortcuts open profile 1 to 9.

Claude Code

The same separation in the terminal.

Per-profile commands

Short commands such as claude-work and claude-personal run Claude Code with that profile's own configuration, agents, memory and login.

Sign-in links

Optionally forwards browser sign-in links to the profile you were using.

Sync and safety

Set up once, keep it.

iCloud sync

Profile names, colors, icons, notes and order sync through your private iCloud. Chats and sign-ins never leave each Mac.

Safe removal

Removing a profile deletes only Dockhat's own copy, never your original data.

Made for Claude Desktop

Dockhat launches your own installed copy of the app with a separate data folder per profile.

  • Claude Desktop
  • Claude Code

Used only to describe compatibility. Dockhat is independent and uses your own accounts; the Claude name belongs to its owner.

How it works

Create a profile

Name it, pick a color and a symbol or picture. Or import the data of an account you already use.

Sign in once

Open the profile and sign in to that account. It stays signed in, separately from every other profile.

Switch freely

Pin profiles to the Dock or use the menu bar. Run as many as you like at the same time.

Questions

Does Dockhat see my chats?

No. Dockhat only starts the app with a separate data folder. Your chats, files and sign-ins stay in each profile's own folder on your Mac.

Is it safe for my existing account?

Yes. Importing copies the data into a new profile and leaves the original untouched. Removing a profile deletes only Dockhat's own copy.

How many Macs can I use it on?

One license works on up to three Macs.

What happens after the free trial?

The trial lasts 24 hours. After that Dockhat locks your profiles, their Dock icons and the terminal commands until you enter a license key. Nothing is deleted and everything comes back as soon as you activate.

Does it send analytics?

No. The app contacts our server only to check for updates and to validate a license key you entered. See the privacy policy for the exact details.

Is this an official product?

No. Dockhat is an independent utility and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Anthropic PBC. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic PBC.

Can I share one account between several people?

No. Each profile is meant for your own accounts, and you remain bound by the terms of the services you sign in to.
