Watching vs switching

ClaudeBar can watch more than one Claude account, but it doesn’t change which one Claude Code uses. Swapbar does: a click or ⌃⌥⇧S runs claude-swap’s switch, and Claude Code picks up the new account on its next request.

Many tools or one

ClaudeBar covers a long list of providers. Swapbar covers Claude Code only, with the 5-hour, weekly and per-model windows of every account in one list.

Cost

ClaudeBar shows today’s cost and tokens. Swapbar shows today and the last 30 days, per model and per account, from the same local transcripts.
