Switch saved Codex accounts without a full sign-out loop.

Switch accounts in four steps

Add the accounts you use once. Codex Switcher keeps them as separate profiles so you can choose the account for the next task from the Mac menu bar.

Finish each account's browser sign-in during setup. OpenAI may ask you to sign in again after access expires.

• Add each account.
• Give each profile a clear name.
• Select the account you need.
• Confirm the check mark before returning to Codex.

• Set up and name multiple Codex accounts
• See how the Mac menu bar workflow works

Pause account-bound work before switching

Save or pause work before switching if a task depends on the account that started it. Open Codex Switcher, select the next profile, and wait for the check mark to move.

Return to Codex after the menu confirms the intended account. Read the usage lines first when the next task may need a larger allowance.

• Check Codex usage before you switch
• Review the Codex Desktop account-switching boundary

Keep account data separate

The switch changes the active account profile. It does not merge chats, projects, subscriptions, billing, or workspace administration.

OpenAI offers a separate account switcher on ChatGPT web. Its current help article says that web control does not cover Codex Desktop, so confirm the desktop account in the desktop workflow.

Know when sign-in returns

Saved access can expire. Re-authorize the affected profile when Codex Switcher reports an expired sign-in or the account no longer works.

Removing a profile also removes it from the quick selection list. Add it again if you need that account later. The other saved profiles remain separate. A clear list makes the next switch easier to verify before you return to work.

• Compare saved profiles with repeated manual login
