Questions

Does it work with API keys?

No. Pitboard switches only logins to a Claude or ChatGPT account, not API keys or other providers.

Does it work on a computer my company manages?

Yes, within the company's settings: Pitboard refuses a switch or sign-in they rule out, and pitboard doctor names each setting.

Is this allowed?

Anthropic's and OpenAI's terms decide that. Pitboard moves only your own logins and cannot share an account.

Why not use /login or codex login?

Both replace the login in use, so the account you leave has to sign in again.

Does Pitboard see my prompts?

No. Pitboard never sees a tool's requests.

What happens if I uninstall it?

Each tool stays signed in to the account in use. The other accounts need signing in again.

Can I script it?

Yes. With --json, every command prints JSON.

Does it have keyboard shortcuts?

Yes. On macOS, the Account menu lists what you can do to the account selected, with Remove Account on Command-Delete.

Yes. On Windows, Pitboard's keyboard shortcuts include F2 to rename the account selected, Delete to remove it and Ctrl+C to copy its email address.

Yes. On Linux, Keyboard Shortcuts in the main menu lists them, such as Ctrl+N to add an account and Ctrl+R to refresh.

Can I switch from search or the taskbar?

Yes. On macOS 26 and later, Spotlight runs Pitboard's Switch Account action, as Shortcuts does.

Yes. On Windows, the Jump List of Pitboard pinned to the taskbar or Start switches to an account.

Yes. On Linux, while Pitboard runs, GNOME's search and KRunner find Switch to work for each account.

Is Pitboard made by Anthropic or OpenAI?

No. Pitboard is not affiliated with either.
