Bring Claude Desktop Code sessions from your other accounts into this window with /bring

Hit the weekly limit on one Claude account? Pick up the same session in another account's window, with its full history, in one click.

If you have more than one Anthropic account (personal and work, or a spare for heavy weeks), running out of weekly quota on one of them stops every Code session it owns. The usual workaround is to open the other account's Claude Desktop window and ask Claude there to "find my session in the other account and carry on", which loses the real history and burns tokens on re-explaining.
baton turns that hand-off into a button. Its goals:
/bring, and pull the session in. The window that ran out never needs to do anything (it can't)./bring opens a panel beside the conversation:
Group and sort them like Desktop's sidebar: by State (hit limit, needs you, done), Date, Project (repo), your own Custom groups from the other window, or None. Sessions started from a claude.ai Project thread are hidden unless you ask for them, and never count as stalled.

Every Claude Desktop window on a Mac keeps its own list of Code sessions, but the conversations themselves live in one shared folder, ~/.claude/projects. So bringing a session takes three steps:
sed, so even a 60 MB transcript takes about a second);claude://resume?session=<new id> to this window's Claude process, even when several windows are running;The first message in the new account rebuilds the prompt cache once, so a long session costs more tokens on that turn.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude. Start another and sign in to the other account there: open -n -a Claude --args --user-data-dir="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Claude-Work"
Any folder name starting with Claude works.
claude plugin marketplace add dreamiurg/baton
claude plugin install baton@baton --scope user
or, inside a terminal Claude Code session:
/plugin install baton --marketplace dreamiurg/baton
and pick the user scope. Every Desktop window loads it after a restart (or /reload-plugins). Update later with claude plugin update baton.
In the window that still has quota, open any Code session and type /bring (or /bring work to open a specific account). Pick a session, press Bring, and it opens in this window's sidebar.
baton labels each account by its profile folder. To show your own names and emails, create ~/.config/baton/config.json:
{
"profiles": {
"Claude": { "label": "Personal", "email": "me@example.com" },
"Claude-Work": { "label": "Work", "email": "me@work.example" }
}
}
npm install
git config core.hooksPath .githooks
scripts/lay-types.sh
npm run check
npm run check type-checks, runs the unit tests, validates the plugin and runs the mod tests. The README screenshots are rendered from docs/demo/*.html with headless Chrome and use made-up accounts and sessions.
