Good to know

Context and tips to get more out of this tool.

Check names before you ship

Renaming after launch is expensive. This checker looks up the domain plus handles on 12 platforms in one pass: X, YouTube, GitHub, GitLab, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, Medium, Telegram, Twitch, Dribbble, and Behance. You see collisions before you print business cards or file a trademark.

How to check brand name availability

Work through four checks in order. First, the domain you actually want, not a hyphenated fallback. Second, handles on the platforms your buyers use, which this tool covers in one pass. Third, a trademark search in the offices where you will sell, such as the USPTO in the US or EUIPO in the EU. This tool does not search trademarks. Fourth, a plain Google and community search for products with a similar name in your category. A free handle does not help if a competitor already owns the name in buyers' heads.

What to do when a name is taken

Slight spelling changes rarely help brand recall. Use the results to shortlist three distinct names, say each out loud, then search Reddit and HN for existing products with similar names to avoid confusion.

Is anyone already using that name?

Availability is one thing - confusion is another. Search communities for existing products with the same or similar names before you commit to a brand.
