CCBaga for Claude: New Identity Manager and Browser Toolkit
CCBaga is a new desktop application for managing multiple Claude identities, preserving local configurations, and checking whether a browser's reported environment agrees with the computer and its network connection. It combines a native control panel with a separate Chromium browser, allowing users to archive Claude sessions, switch local identities, adjust regional settings, and verify the resulting configuration. The software is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with separate platform installers containing both applications.
Developer liseami published CCBaga on GitHub on October 11, 2026. By October 13, the repository had accumulated approximately 2,050 stars and 206 forks. Version 0.2.36, released on October 13, recorded more than 820 macOS installer downloads and 570 Windows installer downloads within its first day. Those figures do not establish unique installations, but the combination of rapid GitHub growth, actual package downloads, and emerging compatibility reports provides evidence of interest beyond repository bookmarking.
CCBaga Combines Two Applications Into One Toolkit
CCBaga consists of two cooperating applications called CCBaga-A and CCBaga-B. The first manages Claude's local data, system settings, and environment verification, while the second provides an isolated Chromium browser with its own profile and configurable browser characteristics.
The separation gives the native application responsibility for operations that require filesystem or operating system access. Browser measurements are collected independently and returned through an authenticated local session, allowing CCBaga to compare requested settings against what the browser actually reports.
The application uses Rust and Tauri 2 for native operations, with a React interface available in English and Chinese. Changing the application's language does not automatically modify the operating system or browser language, which are controlled separately.
CCBaga Can Archive and Switch Claude Identities
Claude Code and Claude Desktop maintain local credentials, configuration files, caches, and other application data. Managing multiple local setups can become complicated when settings, conversations, extensions, and login information are stored in overlapping directories. CCBaga provides an interface for inspecting those directories and organizing their contents into separate identities.
Users can archive their current identity, restore a previously saved identity, or create an empty local workspace. Before switching, the application saves the outgoing identity and allows the user to choose which information remains shared. Configurable categories include skills, commands, plugins, MCP settings, project records, conversation history, and cached data.
The archives use an encrypted .baga container, while a local SQLite database maintains identity records and recovery information. According to the developer, archive verification occurs before workspace changes, and failed operations can trigger rollback procedures.
This is more sophisticated than simply deleting Claude's application folders to start over. The program attempts to preserve configurations that users may want to restore, while distinguishing archived identities from data intentionally left in the active workspace.
An empty identity should not be confused with a new Anthropic account. It clears the selected local login identity and prepares a fresh local environment, but it does not erase server records, reverse account restrictions, or establish a new account's eligibility.
Browser Fingerprint Rotation Is a Separate Feature
CCBaga-B is a companion Chromium browser with a dedicated profile. Users can generate a new fingerprint seed, select regional settings, and restart the browser with the resulting configuration. The application then measures the browser's reported characteristics instead of assuming that every requested change succeeded.
The verification interface compares information including the public network exit, country, timezone, language, platform, browser engine version, and selected device characteristics. Results are displayed alongside the computer's settings so discrepancies can be identified directly.
This distinction is useful when troubleshooting inconsistent browser environments. A computer may have one timezone while its network exits through another country, or a browser may report settings that differ from the operating system. CCBaga attempts to make those inconsistencies visible rather than requiring users to inspect each value through separate diagnostic websites.
Selecting a country does not change the computer's public IP address. The developer also states that DNS and WebRTC leak detection are not independently verified, so matching values in CCBaga's interface do not establish anonymity or guarantee acceptance by an online service.
CCBaga Includes an Optional AI Network Setup System
The application also provides a network configuration workflow intended for users who manage their own remote servers and proxy connections. Its interface presents three broad steps involving a VPS, a residential proxy, and installation of a separate network configuration Skill. The Skill can work with coding assistants including Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, and Copilot. Users supply their own server access information and connection details, while the selected assistant can prepare configuration files, execute approved commands, and verify the resulting connection.
This functionality is separate from ordinary Claude identity management. CCBaga's desktop application does not automatically purchase a proxy, deploy a server, or collect SSH credentials for remote configuration. The external Skill performs approved setup operations, and associated infrastructure may require additional paid services. The project's documentation restricts its intended use to legitimate management of personal Claude environments and explicitly excludes attempts to bypass Anthropic account restrictions. Its identity management and regional configuration features do not change Anthropic's service requirements.
CCBaga Does Not Treat Every Successful Setting Change as Verification
The project's approach distinguishes requesting a system modification from confirming its result. For example, Windows language settings can require additional language packages or a new login session, while some Linux desktop environments do not expose reliable systemwide location controls. CCBaga reports these limitations rather than treating every completed command as proof that the operating system accepted the change.
The same principle applies to its browser checks. A matching browser language, timezone, and network country can confirm those particular observations, but the result does not demonstrate that every identifying characteristic is consistent. Local identity switching has similar boundaries. Credential storage may differ by operating system, and certain credentials managed through Windows Credential Manager or Linux desktop keyrings are not automatically extracted or deleted. The application therefore distinguishes accessible local files from credentials controlled by separate operating system services.
These implementation details help explain why CCBaga is more involved than a conventional browser profile manager. It attempts to coordinate several systems that do not necessarily expose the same settings or permit the same operations.
Windows, Mac, and Linux Compatibility Is Still Developing
CCBaga currently supports Windows 10 and 11 on x64 processors, macOS 12 or later on Apple Silicon, and Linux on x86_64 systems. Intel Macs, Windows ARM devices, and Linux ARM64 installations are not supported by the published packages. The Windows installer includes both the native control panel and the companion browser. It is not signed with a Windows Authenticode certificate, so Microsoft SmartScreen may identify it as an unknown publisher. Users should verify the package against the checksum supplied in the official GitHub release rather than assuming that a security warning proves either malicious behavior or safety.
Linux compatibility has already produced a concrete issue report. On October 13, a user reported that the available package could not run on Ubuntu 22.04 because the system lacked GLIBC_2.38. The project's Linux packages are built on Ubuntu 24.04, and the developer does not claim compatibility with older distributions using earlier glibc versions.
The Linux application also depends on GTK 3 and WebKitGTK 4.1. Some system operations require specific desktop services, so successfully launching the program does not necessarily mean every regional setting or permission feature will work under every Linux desktop environment.
On macOS, the official disk image contains both applications, which must be copied into Applications. The current release targets Apple Silicon and does not offer an Intel executable.
CCBaga Is Developing Rapidly
CCBaga's release history has moved quickly since its October 11 debut. Version 0.2.36 was published on October 13, with development covering identity recovery, cross platform behavior, browser isolation, update handling, and regional configuration. One proposed improvement adds rollback protection when reinstalling the Claude Code command line application. The change preserves the previous executable while attempting a replacement, restoring it if the new installation fails. That proposal addresses a practical failure mode in which maintenance software could otherwise leave a previously functioning command line installation unusable. Another proposed change clarifies the wording used for an empty Claude identity. The revised description emphasizes that clearing local login information does not affect records maintained by Anthropic. The distinction is particularly relevant to software whose interface combines account management, browser identity, and network configuration.
These changes reflect a project moving from initial feature development toward dealing with ordinary installation and recovery problems. GitHub activity has expanded rapidly, although the software has not yet accumulated enough independent testing to establish reliability across all supported configurations.
What Makes CCBaga Different From a Browser Profile Manager
Conventional browser profile managers separate cookies, history, extensions, and other browser data. CCBaga operates across a wider collection of systems by combining browser isolation with Claude configuration management and operating system settings.
Its identity archives provide a way to preserve different local Claude environments, while its companion browser allows selected characteristics to be changed and measured independently. The network functionality adds another layer, although it remains optional and depends on external infrastructure.
The application is therefore most directly useful to people maintaining several authorized Claude configurations across different work environments. Its practical value depends on whether users need the combination of recoverable local identities, browser verification, and native system controls rather than any single feature alone. CCBaga's first three days have produced unusually fast GitHub growth and measurable installer demand. The next test will be whether its recovery mechanisms, platform support, and environment checks remain dependable as more users introduce different Claude installations and operating system configurations.
