yoink snapshots the OAuth credentials Claude Code stores on your machine (the Keychain on macOS, the ~/.claude/.credentials.json file on Linux and Windows, plus the matching account identity in ~/.claude.json) into named profiles, then swaps them in and out in a keystroke. It also registers OpenRouter, Ollama, or any Anthropic-compatible provider as a switchable profile. No browser, no re-login.

Install

macOS and Linux, one command:

curl -fsSL https://yoink.codes/install.sh | bash

Windows:

powershell -c "irm https://yoink.codes/install.ps1 | iex"

Or with npm, on any OS with Node:

npm install -g yoink-cli

Confirm it answers:

yoink version

Quick start

yoink add        # sign in as account A, name it "work"
                 # "Add another?" > yes > sign in as account B, name it "personal"

yoink personal   # switch to personal
yoink work       # switch back

Run yoink with no arguments for the interactive menu: arrow keys or j/k to move, ↵ to switch, n new, e edit, s save, d delete, q to quit. Restart Claude Code after a switch.

Requirements

The package ships prebuilt binaries for macOS (arm64 and x64), Linux (x64 and arm64, glibc and musl/Alpine), and Windows (x64 and arm64) via platform packages, so nothing else is needed. On bare Alpine, run apk add libstdc++ libgcc once (the same runtime libraries Node needs there).
