About
Ever noticed a familiar account with a new handle? Formerly helps you recognize past usernames on Twitter/X by adding a subtle display directly to user profiles. As you browse, it quietly shows previously used handles — no clicks, no logins, no clutter. Designed to be fast, lightweight, and respectful of your privacy. No personal data is stored or shared. Ideal for recognizing renamed accounts, spotting familiar users, or staying aware of profile changes.
