NameCheck
Check if your brand name is available across domains, social media handles, app stores, and trademarks. All in one search.
The Problem
Choosing a brand name means checking a dozen different platforms one by one: domain registrars, Twitter, Instagram, GitHub, TikTok, the App Store, Play Store, trademark databases. It is tedious, error-prone, and easy to miss a conflict that surfaces months later. NameCheck consolidates all of those checks into a single search.
What It Does
Enter a name, and NameCheck simultaneously checks availability across 7 domain TLDs, 7 social media platforms, both app stores, and links you directly to the USPTO trademark search. Results appear in seconds, color-coded so you can instantly see what is open and what is taken.
Domain Availability
Checks .com, .io, .app, .dev, .net, .org, and .co via live DNS resolution. Green means the domain doesn’t resolve, likely available for registration.
Social Handles
Probes Twitter/X, Instagram, GitHub, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube for handle availability. Uses HTTP status codes to determine if a profile exists at that handle.
App Stores
Searches both the Apple App Store (via iTunes Search API) and Google Play Store for existing apps with similar names. Shows result count and top matches.
Trademark
Generates a direct link to the USPTO TESS trademark database pre-populated with your search term. Trademark searches require manual review for accuracy.
How It Works
NameCheck runs all checks in parallel on the server side. Domain lookups use DNS resolution, social handle checks use HTTP HEAD requests, and app store searches hit their respective APIs. The results are aggregated and returned in under 5 seconds for most queries.
- Domains: DNS resolution against 7 popular TLDs
- Social: HTTP HEAD requests to profile URLs (404 = available, 200 = taken)
- App Stores: iTunes Search API + Google Play HTML parsing
- Trademark: Direct link to USPTO TESS with pre-filled query
