BasedIn — Account Location & Country Flags for X

See where X accounts are based: a country flag next to each username, from X's own "About this account" data.

See where X accounts are based in your feed. BasedIn adds a country flag next to each @handle, using X's own "About this account" data. Where is this account actually based? BasedIn adds a small country flag and name next to each @handle on X as you scroll, using the "Account based in" information X itself publishes in every profile's "About this account" panel. Use it to add context to what you read: • Spot likely bot networks and coordinated reply swarms • Notice possible foreign influence on political or local topics • Recognize engagement-bait accounts posing as locals • Add context before you reply, quote, or share FEATURES • Country flag and name next to usernames in your feed, replies, search, and lists • 🌐 badge when X reports a region (for example "South Asia") instead of a country • Hover a badge for details • 30-day local cache, so accounts you've already seen load instantly • Automatic pause when X's lookup limit is close, then automatic resume • Toolbar popup with an on/off toggle, cached-account count, and Clear cache HOW IT WORKS 1. Open x.com while logged in and scroll as usual. 2. BasedIn looks up visible accounts one at a time, every few seconds, through x.com. 3. Badges appear as results come in. X allows only a small number of these lookups (about 20 per 15 minutes in testing), so flags fill in gradually. 4. When the limit is near, badges show ⏸ with a "resumes in N min" note. This protects your X account, and lookups pick back up on their own. 5. Every result is saved in your browser for 30 days. The more you use BasedIn, the more badges show up instantly. PRIVACY • No servers, analytics, or tracking. • Runs only on x.com. Its only network requests go to x.com, using the session already in your browser. • The cache stays on your device, and you can clear it any time from the popup. • Nothing is collected, sold, or shared. • Privacy policy: https://rentry.co/83at5h6h FAQ How accurate is it? BasedIn shows exactly what X reports, and X's data isn't perfect. VPNs, travel, and account history can all affect it, so treat a badge as one signal, not proof. Why do some accounts show 🌐 instead of a flag? X reports some accounts by region rather than country, or doesn't report a location at all. Is this someone's real-time location? No. It's the account-level country X shows on the profile, not a live or precise location. Why are some badges slow to appear? X limits how many lookups you can make. BasedIn spaces them out and caches results so it stays within those limits. Do I need to be logged in to X? Yes. BasedIn uses your existing x.com session to read the same "About this account" data you can see yourself. Will it keep working if X changes its site? It may stop temporarily after a major X update until BasedIn is updated. BasedIn is an independent project and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by X Corp.
