DotCom Radar finds your perfect .com and matching social handles in one tap. Stop juggling browser tabs to check if a brand name is actually available. DotCom Radar checks .com domain availability and 6 social media platforms β€” Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and GitHub β€” at the same time. Live results, no sign-up, no tracking, no ads. Whether you're naming a startup, a side project, a podcast, a newsletter, or a personal brand, DotCom Radar gives you the answer in seconds. KEY FEATURES Instant .com check Type a name, get availability across .com and 6 social platforms in one shot. AI name generation (bring your own key) Describe your niche β€” "AI tool for podcast clipping", "fitness coaching app" β€” and generate dozens of brandable names that already have a free .com. Bring your own key from Groq, OpenAI, Anthropic, or run Ollama locally on your machine. You pay the AI provider directly; we never see your key or your prompts. Built-in algorithmic generator No API key? No problem. The built-in algorithm produces clean, brandable names without any AI provider needed. Bulk batch scan Paste up to 1,000 names, or upload a CSV / TXT / TSV file, and scan them all at once. Ideal for naming sessions, portfolio research, or filtering long shortlists. Social handle matching Don't claim a domain only to find the matching @handle is taken everywhere. We check Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and GitHub in parallel. Local-first and private Your search history and saved favourites stay on this device. API keys are encrypted in the iOS keychain. No accounts, no servers, no analytics. Favourites and history Tap the heart on any result to save it. Every check, generation, and scan auto-saves to history so you can come back later. Designed for every device Three color palettes (Ocean, Forest, Sunset), light and dark mode, full Arabic right-to-left support, and responsive layouts for iPhone and iPad. WHO IT'S FOR - Founders naming a new startup - Indie hackers shipping side projects - Marketers brainstorming campaigns - Domain researchers filtering shortlists - Creators picking podcast, newsletter, or channel names - Agencies presenting brand options to clients WHY DOTCOM RADAR Most domain tools spam upsells, log your searches, or hide social availability behind a paywall. DotCom Radar does one thing well: tell you the truth about a name, fast, on your device. PRICING The app is free. The algorithmic generator is free. AI generation uses your own provider key β€” Groq and Ollama have free tiers, so you can use AI generation at zero cost if you choose. Download DotCom Radar and find your .com in seconds. β€” Privacy: DotCom Radar does not collect personal data. Search history, favourites, and provider keys are stored locally on your device.
