How to check if a username is available
Three steps, a few seconds, no account.
- 1
Type a username
Enter the handle you want, with or without the @. Results start as soon as you pause typing.
- 2
Watch the results stream in
Each platform answers on its own, so free names turn green one by one. Most searches finish in under three seconds.
- 3
Claim it everywhere
Open any available platform from the list and sign up while the name is free. Start with the networks your audience uses most.
Live search
See where your name is free while you type
No button to press, no page to reload. The checker searches as you type and shows a live count of available, taken and to-check names, so you can test ten ideas in a minute.
- Results stream in as each site answers
- A running total of available and taken names
- Up to 55 checks in about three seconds
45 platforms
Every network that matters, grouped by use
Social networks, video and streaming, creator and selling platforms, blogging, design and developer sites. Each group shows how many names are still free, so you can see at a glance whether a handle works for your niche.
- TikTok, X, YouTube, Snapchat, Pinterest, Twitch and more
- Creator tools like Linktree, Patreon, Gumroad and Substack
- GitHub, Steam, Chess.com and other communities
Domain names
Check the matching domain at the same time
A handle is easier to grow when the website matches. We look up .com, .net, .org, .io, .co, .ai, .app, .dev, .fr and .me in the official registries and show the year a taken domain was registered.
- Real registry data, not a guess
- Registration year for every taken domain
- One click to search a free domain at a registrar
Honest results
Clear answers, even when a site hides them
Some sites, like Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, block automatic checks. Instead of guessing, we mark them as to check and link you straight to the right page. Names that break a platform rule are flagged as not allowed.
- No fake "available" results
- A direct link for every site to check by hand
- Length and character rules for each platform

Who is the username checker for?
Anyone who wants one recognizable name across the internet before someone else takes it.
Creators and influencers
Lock the same handle on TikTok, YouTube and every other platform before you grow, so fans always find the real you.
New brands and stores
Test brand names before you print a logo. A name that is free on social media and as a .com saves a painful rebrand later.
Agencies and freelancers
Validate client name ideas in seconds and hand over a list of handles to claim on launch day.
Bloggers, streamers and developers
Find a name that works for your blog, your Twitch channel and your GitHub at the same time.
Naming tips
How to choose a good username
The best handles are short, easy to say and the same everywhere. Use these rules before you claim one.
- 1
Keep it short
Aim for 6 to 15 characters. X caps names at 15 and Snapchat too, so a short handle works on every network without cuts.
- 2
Make it easy to say and spell
If someone hears your name in a video or a podcast, they should type it right the first time. Avoid double letters and look-alike characters.
- 3
Skip numbers and symbols
Dots, underscores and random digits make a name harder to remember and are not allowed everywhere. Telegram and X, for example, refuse dots.
- 4
Use the same handle everywhere
One name across platforms builds recognition and makes cross-promotion simple. A link in bio can then point to all of them.
- 5
Add a word only if you must
If your name is taken, add a short, meaningful word like studio, shop, official or your niche, rather than a number.
- 6
Claim it before you announce it
Register the handle on your main platforms and the matching domain before you share the name publicly, so nobody grabs it first.
One name, one link
Put all your profiles behind one link in bio
Once your handle is claimed, Roctify gives it a home. Share one link in every bio and let fans reach all your profiles, products and offers from a single page.
- A free link in bio page with your own handle
