X, formerly Twitter, has a built-in account switcher on the web and in its mobile apps: add your other accounts once and move between them without logging out. That covers most people. It shows one account at a time, though, so if you watch a brand account while replying from another, or keep client accounts next to their other tools, WebCatalog Desktop can keep each X account signed in at once, in its own window.
Use X's built-in account switcher
X's help center explains how to add and switch between multiple accounts. On x.com in a browser:
- Click your profile icon in the side menu.
- Choose the more icon (or the plus icon) and select Add an existing account, then sign in.
- To switch, click your profile icon and then the smaller profile icon of the other account.
In the iOS and Android apps, open the navigation menu, tap the more icon, and choose Add an existing account (or Create new account). After that, switch from the same menu by tapping the other account's profile icon (on Android, the arrow in the header). On mobile.x.com, long-press your profile icon to switch.
The switcher keeps only one account active per window or app at a time, so check the handle before you post.
Use separate browser profiles
If you want two X accounts visible at once in a browser, sign in to each one in a separate browser profile (for example, a second Chrome profile). Each profile keeps its own cookies, so both stay signed in. The trade-off is managing whole browser windows, with their own tabs and extensions, just to keep X apart.
Keep several X accounts signed in with WebCatalog Desktop
WebCatalog Desktop runs X as a dedicated desktop app with its own window and Dock or taskbar icon, on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Its profiles keep cookies and login sessions separate, so each account stays signed in independently. Following the profile guide:
- Open WebCatalog Desktop and add X from the app catalog.
- Go to Profiles and select Add profile. Name it after the account, for example "Personal", "Company", or "Client A".
- Open X with that profile and sign in to the matching account.
- Repeat for each account. Open the windows side by side when you need more than one.
A profile can be reused across apps, so the "Company" profile can also hold your company's LinkedIn or Instagram login. To group everything for one brand or client, spaces collect apps, accounts, and bookmarks by context and open in their own window. Spaces organize the work; profiles are what keep the logins apart.
WebCatalog Desktop doesn't merge timelines or notifications across accounts, and it doesn't change X's rules on using multiple accounts.
FAQ
Can I merge two X accounts?
No. X's help center says it doesn't offer a way to merge accounts or move posts, followers, or following from one account to another. Each account stays separate whichever way you switch between them.
Does deleting a WebCatalog Desktop profile delete the X account?
No. Deleting a profile removes its local data and signed-in sessions on your computer. Your X account is not affected.
Conclusion
For occasional switching, X's own account switcher is enough. To keep several X accounts open side by side on your computer, download WebCatalog Desktop.
