When it comes in handy

Consistent handles

Find a username you can use everywhere so people recognise you across platforms.

Before you launch

Reserve your brand handle on the platforms you will need before someone else does.

Personal branding

Check whether your preferred handle is free before you print it on anything.

Private by design, no sign-up

Names, palettes and taglines are generated right in your browser. Domain and handle checks run through a small private proxy so your browser can reach the registries, and we do not store, log or sell what you search. No account, no paywall, no limits.

Frequently asked questions

Why are some platforms only a link?
Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook and LinkedIn actively block automated availability checks from servers, so any tool claiming a definite answer for them is guessing. Rather than show you something unreliable, we link straight to the page where you can check in a second.
What does "taken" actually mean?
It means the platform already has a profile, page or reserved name at that handle. A handle can also be held by an inactive or suspended account, so if one you want shows as taken, it is sometimes worth checking the profile directly.
How many platforms does it check?
It checks your handle across the main platforms that allow automated lookups, such as GitHub, Reddit, YouTube and Twitch, in a single pass. For the ones that block automated checks, like Instagram, TikTok and X, it gives you a direct link so you can confirm there yourself.
