- Developers switching among coding CLI accounts
- Worth noticing
- The page says a running session is never switched, and that account changes happen when starting a new command.
Field notes
The described workflow begins with adding an account through the menu bar or a shell command, then using the familiar claude, codex, or kimi command. Account directories are separate, while settings and sessions are linked to the tool's default directory. The page distinguishes usage sources by tool and says Kimi Code has no usage reading; its sign-in state comes from a credentials file.
