The folder name problem: a generic working title looks deletable, but a name that's different from the final app gets confusing. So you name it properly up front — then discover at launch there's an exact-match app on the stores, a taken .com, or a trademark filed in your own country.
Untaken is the 10-second pre-check. Type a name, press Check, and we check six places at once. Free, no account.
What one free check covers:
1. Domains — flagship TLDs (.com, .io, .ai, .co, .dev, .app) + app-as-subdomain hosts on Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages and more via DNS-over-HTTPS + live HTTP probing, plus a name.* discovery sweep via urlscan.io and crt.sh Certificate Transparency. See who holds what via ICANN lookup.
2. Google Play — live Play Store title search. No exact-match means LOOKS FREE.
3. App Store — iTunes Search API title lookup for conflicting iOS apps.
4. AlternativeTo — software listings that already own the name.
5. Homebrew — formulae + casks via formulae.brew.sh. Critical if devs will brew install your thing.
6. EUIPO TMview trademarks — 100M+ marks from 70+ offices. Total filings, office, status, goods/services. This is the cease-and-desist check.
Verdicts are honest: TAKEN, LOOKS FREE, or COULDN'T TELL. Couldn't tell means we hit a wall — login page, rate-limit, fuzzy results — and would rather say so than guess. Not a no, not a yes. A strong signal, not legal clearance.
Checking one name is free. Finding 25 is the product.
Describe your product in one sentence + pick a vibe (playful, premium, techy, calm, friendly). The engine brainstorms hundreds of candidates in your browser — nothing uploaded — then filters tiered, cheapest signals first:
Cheap .com + Homebrew + App Store exact-match discards losers instantly. Survivors get fully verified across all six sources, trademarks included. The first 25 names that clear 6/6 save to your dashboard. Star favourites to shortlist. If a run saves fewer than 25, broaden the brief and run again — runs are unlimited.
Real output: "a calm focus timer for remote teams" → northloop, calmdeck, driftline, stillmark, each 6/6 clear in ~38s.
One plan, less than one domain: $5.98/mo or $39.99/yr ($3.33/mo, yearly saves 44%). Unlimited products and runs, 25 verified-clear names per product, saved forever. Cancel in one click, keep your names. By Synov8 Ltd, UK.
