App name generator
Turn a couple of keywords into brandable app name ideas — then check each one against the live App Store to see what’s already taken. Every name fits the 30-character store limit. Free, and it runs in your browser.
Enter a keyword or two above to generate name ideas.
How to name an app that’s findable
A good app name does two jobs at once: it’s a brand people can remember and say, and it gives search a keyword to latch onto. The sweet spot is usually a distinct word plus one descriptive term — think “Bloom Budget” rather than “Budget Tracker.” The first is yours; the second is a category everyone competes in.
Both stores cap the name at 30 characters, and long names get truncated in search results and on the home screen, so shorter is safer. Apple indexes your name for keywords, which is why one real keyword in it helps — but stuffing extra keywords reads as spam and risks rejection.
Before you commit, run the availability check here to rule out exact collisions on the App Store, then do a quick trademark search and confirm the domain and social handles you’d want. This tool covers the first, fastest filter; the others take a few more minutes and save a lot of pain later.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if an app name is already taken?
Type your keywords above, and next to each generated name click “Check App Store.” The tool queries Apple's live App Store search and tells you whether an app already uses that exact name, whether similar names exist, or whether it looks open — and lists the closest existing apps so you can judge for yourself.
How long can an app name be?
On both the Apple App Store and Google Play, the app name (title) is capped at 30 characters. This tool never generates a name longer than that, and it shows the character count on every suggestion so you can see how much room you have left.
Can two apps have the same name?
Technically the stores don't hard-block duplicate display names, but it's a bad idea: you'll be impossible to find, you risk trademark disputes, and Apple can reject a listing that's confusingly similar to an existing one. That's why the availability check flags exact and near-matches before you commit.
Should my app name contain keywords?
A little. A distinct brand name plus one descriptive keyword (for example “Bloom Budget”) is a good balance — it's brandable and it helps ASO. Names made only of generic words like “Budget Tracker” are hard to trademark and get lost in search, so this tool flags those.
Does the availability check guarantee the name is free to use?
No. It checks whether the name is already live on the App Store, which is the fastest first filter, but it does not check trademarks, domain names, or Google Play. Before you commit to a name, do a trademark search and check domain and social handles too.
Is this app name generator free, and is my data uploaded?
It's free and runs entirely in your browser. Name ideas are generated locally; the only network request is the App Store availability check you trigger per name, which goes straight to Apple's public search API. Your keywords and saved names never touch our servers.
