Who are you? Pick one
Creators
Your handle is your brand.
Claim the same @ on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube before your first post, then put it on a domain no platform can suspend.
Streamers & gamers
One tag across every game and stream.
Find a gamer tag that's free on Roblox, Minecraft, Steam and YouTube, plus a .gg to send your viewers to.
Founders
Name it once. Own it everywhere.
Check the .com, .ai and .io alongside the socials and GitHub in one search, before the logo, the deck or the launch post.
Shops & small business
Get found under one name.
From a bakery to an Etsy store: check Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest with a .shop or .store, then print a review QR for the counter.
Agencies & marketers
Naming for clients, at scale.
Bulk-check a whole shortlist across 25 platforms and 100+ extensions, rank the winners, and hand over a clean report.
Developers
Ship under a name that's actually free.
Check GitHub, GitLab and Dev.to, the npm package name and a .dev or .io before your first commit.
Musicians & podcasters
Easy to find after the first listen.
Lock in your band or show name on SoundCloud, YouTube and Instagram, with a .fm or .music that links everything.
Handle & domain hunters
Rare names, caught as they drop.
Score how rare a short handle is, see exactly when a domain expires, and know the moment a name comes free.

The complete username checker
Check username availability everywhere at once
Handle.tools is a free username availability checker. Type a name once and instantly see whether it's free on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, GitHub, Linktree, Dribbble and Dev.to, and whether the matching .com, .io, .ai and other domains are available. No accounts, no opening a dozen sign-up pages.
A consistent handle is what makes a personal brand easy to find. Whether you're naming a startup, launching as a creator or shortlisting names for a client, checking every platform up front stops you building on a name that's already taken somewhere that matters.
Guide
How to find an available username
Four steps to a handle you can own everywhere.
- STEP 01Start with one word
Pick a short word that says who you are or what you do. Under 15 characters is ideal.
- STEP 02Check it everywhere
Search it here to see every platform and domain at once, not one site at a time.
- STEP 03Tweak, don't reinvent
If it's taken, add a simple prefix or suffix (the, real, hq) so it stays recognisable.
- STEP 04Claim it the same day
Register the .com and sign up on each platform before someone else takes it.
