Social Username Checker
One search, eight platforms — see where your brand handle is still free.
Secure the full brand footprint
A brand today is a domain plus a constellation of handles. Checking them one platform at a time means eight logins and twenty minutes; this tool probes all eight public profile URLs in a single pass and shows the map: green where you can still claim the name, red where it's taken, with direct links to each profile so you can see who holds it.
Practical caveats
Some platforms — Instagram, TikTok, X — deliberately obscure whether a profile exists when queried by automated tools, so a result there may show as unverified. Treat green on those platforms as "promising, verify manually" and green on GitHub/Reddit/Twitch as dependable. Handle squatting is also real: a taken handle with zero posts can sometimes be reclaimed via platform trademark processes once your brand is registered.
Do it in the right order
Name candidates first (AI generator or keyword generator), then domain availability (checker), then handles — and register the domain and claim the handles the same day. The half-life of a good available name is short.
Frequently asked questions
Which platforms are checked?
Twitter/X, Instagram, GitHub, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, Twitch and Pinterest. Each platform's public profile URL is probed; a missing profile indicates the handle is likely free.
How reliable are the results?
GitHub, Reddit, Twitch and YouTube respond deterministically and results are highly reliable. Instagram, TikTok and Twitter/X aggressively shield profile pages from automated checks, so their results can show as unverified — always confirm directly on the platform before announcing a brand.
Why should my domain and social handles match?
Brand consistency: users guess your handle from your name, and mismatched handles leak traffic and credibility. Best practice is to secure the domain and the major handles the same day — both are first-come, first-served.
The name is taken everywhere. What now?
Standard fallbacks: prefix with get/use/try (getdropbox), suffix with app/hq (notionhq), or pick a more distinctive name in the AI generator where both .com and handles tend to be free.
