Found the perfect name? Make sure it's yours everywhere — before someone else takes it. Username Finder checks your handle across 40 social and creator platforms with one search, and checks the matching domain across 27 extensions. One name, one search, the full picture. HANDLE CHECK — 40 PLATFORMS AT ONCE • Snapchat, YouTube, X, Telegram, Twitch, Pinterest, Reddit, Spotify and more • Developer platforms too: GitHub, GitLab, npm, PyPI, Docker Hub • Tap any result to open it: the profile if the name is taken, the sign-up page if it's free • Name free? On 25 platforms, a step-by-step guide shows how to get it: rename the account you already have, or sign up • Quick sets for streamers, developers, brands and gamers — just the platforms that matter to you • Live results as they come in: available · taken · unchecked counts while you watch • Names a platform doesn't allow are marked Invalid, so you never chase an impossible handle • Star the platforms you care about and keep them pinned on top • Share a name from another app straight into a search NAME TAKEN? TRY THESE • Close variations of your name, suggested right alongside your results • With Pro, each one shows how many platforms it's free on, counted within your selected platform set DOMAIN CHECK — .COM FREE, 27 EXTENSIONS WITH PRO • Every search checks the .com too, free for everyone • Pro covers all 27: .com, .net, .org, .io, .app, .dev, .co, .gg, .so and more • Real availability checks, not guesses: RDAP and WHOIS behind the scenes • See instantly whether the matching domain is free before you commit to a name WATCH — GET PINGED WHEN A NAME FREES UP • Name taken? Tap Watch and we keep checking it for you • Get a notification the moment a taken handle or domain becomes available • Free: watch 1 name on up to 10 platforms and domains, checked once a day • Watch subscription: up to 10 names, checked every hour • Works on platforms and domains we can check reliably; a few platforms can't be watched • Delete your Watch data anytime in Settings BRAND REPORT • A score out of 100 for your name, with a one-line verdict • At a glance: how many platforms are free, whether the .com is taken, and whether an app already uses the name on the App Store • With Pro, the full report: every platform and domain extension, plus a share card you can post BUILT FOR • Creators and streamers claiming a consistent handle everywhere • Founders and side-project builders naming a product or startup • Gamers grabbing a clean tag before it's gone • Anyone renaming, rebranding, or starting fresh WHY PEOPLE LIKE IT • One search does everything — no tapping through 40 sites • Fast, clean, and honest: unknown results are marked unknown, not guessed • Dark mode, 5 languages (English, Türkçe, Español, Italiano, Français) • No account, no sign-up — open the app and search GO PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE Pro is a single lifetime purchase, not a subscription. It unlocks the full 27-extension domain checker and the full Brand Report, shows where each suggestion is free, and removes every ad, forever. WATCH SUBSCRIPTION — OPTIONAL Hourly checks on up to 10 names are an optional auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly to your App Store account. It's separate from Pro: Pro doesn't include Watch, and the subscription doesn't include Pro. It renews automatically until you cancel; cancel anytime in your store's subscription settings. Your searches stay yours: there's no account and no sign-up. Names you choose to watch are kept on our server under a random install ID, only so we can check them — and you can delete them anytime in Settings. Grab your name before someone else does — download Username Finder and run your first search in seconds.
