NameHQGet Started

What a store check actually tells you

App Store search only shows published apps. When you search a name here, you get the same ten results a shopper would see, in the same order, and we mark which of them use your name exactly or nearly. That's enough to know whether you'd be fighting an established app for your own brand.

It can't show names that a developer reserved in App Store Connect but never shipped. Apple releases those after a while, and there's no public list. Treat a clear result as a strong signal, not a promise, and read the App Store name rules before you commit.

Three steps, one results page

  1. 1

    Brainstorm

    Jot down a few names you'd be proud to put on an app icon. Two words that sound good together usually win.

  2. 2

    Search

    Drop in your favourite and choose the App Store countries you plan to launch in. One click, no account.

  3. 3

    See everything

    Every store, domain, handle and dev namespace on a single page, with a clear verdict. Grab what's free before someone else does.
