Quorum Terminal can hold several of your own Claude subscription accounts and move between them so a single 5-hour or weekly limit no longer stops your work. This is a Beta, experimental feature: it is off by default, opt-in, and the behavior described here may change. Everything runs locally on your Mac — Quorum Terminal never receives your code, prompts, or usage.
Turning it on
Multiple Claude accounts is a master switch that ships off. While it is off the feature is fully inert: no account is injected, nothing rotates, and no per-account usage is polled. Enable it in Settings, under the Claude accounts section, to opt in.
You can hold up to 16 accounts. Adding one runs the browser login for you (claude setup-token) — you authorize in your default browser and the resulting token is stored encrypted on disk; you never paste a token into Quorum Terminal. Turning the switch back off wipes those stored tokens.
Add a second account with the copy-link option when you want a different Claude account than the one your browser is already signed into. On that path, after you approve access the browser shows a short authorization code — paste it into the Add account window to finish.
Pinning and bindings
You can fix which account a given context uses, in order of precedence:
- Per-terminal pin — resume or start a session on a chosen account; the pin sticks for that terminal.
- Per-project binding — bind a project folder to an account in one of two modes:
staticorfailover.
A static binding is a deliberate choice that is never auto-switched. Pins and bindings are metadata only — no token ever reaches the renderer.
Rotation and failover
When an account reaches its limit (90% of either the 5-hour or weekly window), Quorum Terminal marks it exhausted and watches for its reset.
| Mode | On limit |
|---|---|
static | Notifies you only — no switch |
failover | Switches new sessions to the next account with headroom |
Failover is opt-in and requires a one-time consent because it carries higher account-policy risk. A running turn is never interrupted; switching only affects sessions you start afterward. If every account is at its limit, the active one is kept so claude --resume <id> still works.
The roster
The Claude accounts view lists each account with its current 5-hour and weekly usage, a Resets in … countdown, and which one is active. Usage figures appear only for accounts that have actually been polled — Quorum Terminal never fabricates numbers.
