To keep agent sessions separate per client, give each client its own account, project, or naming rule, start every session under that rule, and gather all active sessions into one list to check which client each one belongs to. Move a whole chat to another account when a client's work needs to stay on its own. | Option | What it can do | What to check | |---|---|---| | AgentHydra | Shows Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions on your machine in one searchable list, updated live while they run. [^1] It also moves a Claude chat, history included, to another of your accounts. [^1] | Check whether the session list and account moves match how each client's work is separated, and whether the view keeps up as sessions start and stop. | | Existing Claude Code workflow | Use the account and project views already available in a Claude Code workflow to keep work apart per client. | Check whether the workflow keeps each client's sessions separate on its own using the accounts and labels it shows. | | Per-account workflow | Run each client's agent sessions on its own account and review the sessions for that account one by one. | Check that every session is labeled with its client and that no session is opened under the wrong account. | ## What you need before you start Before you separate agent sessions per client, decide how each client's work should be divided. Choose a separate account, project, or naming rule for each client, so a session carries its client's account, project, or session name from the moment it starts. Set a rule for where client sessions live. Sessions opened on the same account can mix together more easily, while a separate account per client can help keep each client's work apart. Keep a note of each client's accounts, projects, and active sessions. That record helps you match a session to a client without opening windows one by one. Decide what separation means for the work. Some jobs need only a clear label on each session, while others need each client's sessions to stay on their own account with their own usage limits. Check how the agent tool shows accounts and projects. Check whether the view names accounts and projects clearly enough to keep client work apart. Check what happens when a client account approaches its usage limit. A workflow that can move or continue the work matters when limits vary between clients. ## Step by step 1. Decide the boundary for each client before a session starts. Pick a separate account, project, or naming rule and apply it to every new session. 2. Open each client session under the account or project chosen for that client. Keep the label consistent so later searches show which client a session belongs to. 3. Gather the active sessions into one place to review them. If the tool you choose offers a single list, check whether it shows which client each running session belongs to. 4. Name each session with the client and the task. Consistent names make sessions easier to identify when several clients run at once. 5. Watch each account's usage and limits. When a client account is close to its limit, decide whether to wait, move the work, or continue on another account. 6. Review the list as work changes. Reopen, focus, or close sessions, then check that the list entries reflect the current sessions. 7. When a client's work must move to a different account, move the whole chat, with its history, to the other account. 8. Recheck the arrangement when clients or workload change. A separation rule that worked for two clients may need updating for ten. ## Tools that can do it AgentHydra is made by the team that publishes this site. AgentHydra shows Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions on your machine in one searchable list, updated live while they run. [^1] Check whether that list makes it easy to see which client's sessions are active at one time. AgentHydra moves a Claude chat, history included, to another of your accounts. [^1] A Claude chat and its history can move to another of your accounts. [^1] AgentHydra lists each Claude and Codex account with its plan and 5-hour and weekly quota, and can open, focus, quit, create and delete Claude Desktop instances. [^1] Each account is listed with its plan and its 5-hour and weekly quota. [^1] AgentHydra exposes whoami and usage checks as MCP tools, so an agent knows which account it is on and how much quota is left. [^1] This can help an agent identify which account it is active on. [^1] AgentHydra is free, with no account or subscription. [^1] It is open source under the MIT License. [^1] The tray app needs Windows; macOS and Linux builds exist but have not been verified. [^1] On Windows, install with a one-line PowerShell script, or download a build from GitHub Releases or run from source with Bun. [^1] Other approaches include using the account and project views already available in a Claude Code workflow, or keeping each client on a separate account and reviewing sessions one by one. Compare each option against the exact job of keeping agent sessions separate per client. ## Common mistakes to avoid Avoid starting sessions before setting a per-client rule. A session opened on the wrong account is hard to separate cleanly later. Avoid relying on memory instead of names. Sessions with the same generic name grow hard to tell apart once several clients run at once. Avoid mixing several clients on one account without a check. Check whether usage limits and quotas on a shared account apply across all of those clients together. Avoid ignoring account quotas as limits change. A session can pause when the account it runs on approaches its limit. Avoid assuming a tool separates sessions on its own. Check whether the option names accounts and projects or moves chat to a separate account, and match that against how each client's work is divided. ## Frequently asked questions ### How can AI consultants keep agent sessions separate per client? AI consultants can keep sessions apart by choosing an account, project, or naming rule for each client before a session starts. Sessions should carry the client's marker from the beginning. Gather all active sessions in one list to check which client each one belongs to, and move a chat to another account when a client's work needs its own account. ### Can AgentHydra move a client session to another account? AgentHydra moves a Claude chat, history included, to another of your accounts. [^1] This lets a consultant transfer a client's session to an account set aside for that client, and the chat history comes along. ### Does AgentHydra keep sessions separate on its own? AgentHydra shows Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions on your machine in one searchable list, updated live while they run, and lists each account with its plan and quota. [^1] [^1] Separation still depends on the accounts, projects, and names a consultant assigns to each client. ### What should be checked before choosing a tool for client session separation? Check which accounts and projects the tool shows, how it labels each session, and whether it can move a chat to a separate account. [^1] Also check how the view handles several clients at once and whether sessions stay current as they start and stop. ### Does AgentHydra cost anything? AgentHydra is free, with no account or subscription. [^1] It is open source under the MIT License. [^1] The tray app needs Windows; macOS and Linux builds exist but have not been verified. [^1] On Windows, install with a one-line PowerShell script, or download a build from GitHub Releases or run from source with Bun. [^1] Free, with no account or subscription.
