switch Short version: the Switch for Claude app collects nothing. It has no account, no analytics and no servers. Everything it does happens on your Mac. This website counts visits without cookies, see below.
What the app reads
To list and open your Claude profiles, Switch for Claude reads folders on your Mac. You grant it access to your home folder once, when you first open the app. It looks at:
- Claude Desktop data folders, such as
~/Library/Application Support/Claude-Work, to see whether a profile exists and whether it's open. - Claude Code config folders, such as
~/.claude-work, including the account email and plan saved there, so it can show which account each profile uses. - Profile lists made by other tools, such as Multi-Claude, so you can bring those profiles over.
The app never reads your sign-in tokens or passwords. Those stay in your macOS Keychain, managed by Claude itself.
What the app stores
Your list of profiles (names, colors and folder locations) is saved inside the app's own folder on your Mac. When you create a profile, the app creates its folders in your home folder. If you choose it, it adds a claude-<name> shortcut to your ~/.zshrc file.
What leaves your Mac
Nothing. Switch for Claude makes no network connections of its own. When you open a profile, it starts Claude Desktop or Claude Code, which connect to Anthropic as they always do under Anthropic's own privacy policy.
This website
When you arrive on claudeswitch.dev, the page sends one visit to our statistics service on Google Cloud in the EU. It contains the page you landed on, the page that linked to it (without its query string), any campaign tags in the link, your browser's language and time zone, and your browser's user agent, from which we derive browser, operating system and device type. We use this to see how many people visit and how they find us.
No cookie is set and nothing is stored in your browser. To count unique visitors, the service turns your IP address and user agent into a hash with a secret key that includes the date, so the same browser counts once per day and can't be recognised the next day. The IP address itself is not stored. Visit records are deleted after 24 months.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in knowing how the site is used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Moving between pages and reloading a page are not counted.
Purchases
You buy Switch for Claude through the Mac App Store. Apple handles the payment, and we receive no personal details about you from it.

The app collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
