Requires macOS, Node.js 20+, and Claude Code already installed, run with npm start after cloning.

So what is it?

Fable Rotation is a local macOS dashboard for people who use multiple Claude accounts and need to track usage across them. It monitors both weekly limits and shorter five-hour windows, then lets you switch the active Claude Code account with a single click instead of signing out and signing back in manually. The README includes a short demo animation showing the account-switching flow, plus a screenshot of the connect screen where you add accounts. After cloning the repository and running it, you click an "Add account" button and sign in, repeating for each account you want to monitor. The tool is clearly aimed at people juggling several Claude logins and looking for a lightweight way to rotate between them. Running it requires macOS, Node.js version 20 or higher, and Claude Code already installed. The setup steps are minimal: clone the repository, move into the folder, and run npm start. There is no mention of a packaged app, installer, or settings menu beyond the dashboard's own Add account flow. The README is quite short and does not cover configuration options, supported Claude plan types, troubleshooting, or what happens behind the scenes during a switch. It also does not explain how usage data is retrieved or whether anything is stored locally. If the project has further features, they are not documented here.
