Support
Get back above water.
Start with the quick checks below. If the issue persists, the GitHub issue tracker is the best place to get help.
Accounts and usage
- Sign in with
claudeorcodex login, then refresh the app. - Inactive accounts retain their last reading and display its age.
- If a login expires, use the account’s Log In or Retry action.
CLI switching
- Switching changes the selected CLI login—not your browser or desktop app.
- A first switch may ask for macOS Terminal Automation permission.
- If another process changes credentials mid-switch, retry after it finishes.
Permissions
- Notifications are optional and can be changed in System Settings.
- Launch at login is off until you enable it in Settings.
- Keychain prompts appear only for explicit actions when authorization is required.
Before reporting a bug
A few details speed up the diagnosis.
Include the Limit Lifeboat version, your macOS version, the affected provider, what you expected, what happened, and the smallest sequence that reproduces it.
Remove secrets first
Never attach real access tokens, refresh tokens, cookies, passwords, private keys, full Keychain exports, or unredacted account data.
Security issue?
Report it privately.
Do not open a public issue for an undisclosed vulnerability. GitHub private vulnerability reporting keeps the details between you and the maintainer while the issue is investigated.
