NameCheq was born from a simple frustration: spending the better part of an afternoon checking a brand name by hand, opening tab after tab across registrars, social networks, and app stores, only to discover the perfect name was already taken somewhere that mattered. We were founders ourselves, losing good names to a process that should have taken seconds. So we built the tool we wished existed.
Naming a company should be one of the most exciting parts of starting it. Instead it has quietly become a chore. A modern brand does not live in one place: it needs a domain, a handle on every social platform your customers use, a username on the developer and creator platforms your team relies on, and often a presence in the app stores. Checking each of these by hand is slow, repetitive, and easy to get wrong, and the momentum you had when the idea struck is gone before you have finished. Too often the first available name wins by default, not because it was the best.
NameCheq collapses that whole process into a single search. Type one name and we check it live, in real time, across 45+ destinations at once: domain extensions like .com, .io, and .ai; social platforms including Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, and Threads; creator and developer platforms such as GitHub, Substack, and Behance; the App Store and Play Store; and Web3 names. Results come back in roughly two seconds, color-coded so you can see exactly where your name is free. We are a checker, not a registrar, so we never charge you for a name, when something is available we point you straight to the right place to claim it. You can start for free, with no account required.
Every check queries each platform's own endpoints in real time rather than reading a cached list, and when a platform cannot be confirmed we mark it as unknown instead of guessing. A name tool is only useful if you can trust what it tells you, so we would rather show you an honest "unknown" than a confident wrong answer.
To remove every friction point from the journey of naming your brand, so you can spend more time building and less time searching. A great name should be easy to find, easy to check, and easy to secure everywhere at once.

Founder & Developer
Jihad started NameCheq in 2026 after experiencing firsthand how tedious it was to check brand-name availability across dozens of platforms manually. What should take seconds was eating up hours — so he built a single tool that checks 45+ platforms in one search.
