English 简体中文 WeChat for Mac enforces a singleton: it only lets you launch one copy at a time and silently kills any second process. WeChat Multi gets around that by cloning /Applications/WeChat.app into uniquely-identified copies under /Applications/WeChat Multi/ . Each clone has its own CFBundleIdentifier , so macOS gives it a fresh sandbox container and WeChat treats it as a separate app with its own login session. The result: you can sign in to as many accounts as you want — work and personal, two phone numbers, a burner — each in its own window, each surviving restarts. Windows? A Windows port is in development under windows/ — it uses a different technique (releasing WeChat's named-mutex single-instance lock, since Windows has no app-bundle cloning). See the port plan and windows/README.md . What the menu looks like Each running-instance row expands to a submenu with Bring to Front , Quit This Instance , and Rename… (lets you name a clone \"Work\" or \"Personal\" — the name shows in Cmd+Tab and the Dock). The ⚠️ outdated clones row only appears when WeChat has updated since your clones were last built; one click rebuilds them while preserving each clone's signed-in session. Download Don't want to compile? Grab the pre-built .app from the latest release, drag it into /Applications , and double-click. macOS may ask you to right- click → Open the first time because it's ad-hoc signed.","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/ashinno","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/ashinno/wechat-multi/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
