One-tap name clearance.
Before you commit.

NameVett searches the U.S. and EU trademark databases, the iOS App Store, Apple Podcasts, eight TLDs (.com, .net, .org, .app, .io, .co, .dev, .ai), and five social platforms. Apple Intelligence summarizes the risk on-device and proposes alternatives if your name is contested.

For founders, indie devs, and small teams mid-decision.

Six checks. One tap.

U.S. Trademarks (USPTO)

Live and dead marks with full text, owner, IC class, status, and filing date. Tap a serial number to open the official TSDR record.

EU Trademarks (EUIPO)

Pan-European marks via EUIPO/TMview. Status, owner, class — same row layout as USPTO.

App Store

iOS apps whose name or metadata matches yours. Tap any row to jump straight to the listing.

Apple Podcasts

Existing podcasts using the same name. Most modern brands need a podcast eventually — find out now.

Domains

.com, .net, .org, .app, .io, .co, .dev, .ai availability via official RDAP and DNS. Color-coded chips with one-tap WHOIS or registration.

Social handles

@yourname on Instagram, TikTok, GitHub, YouTube, and Reddit. Often the first thing modern founders care about.

✦ Apple Intelligence

On-device LLM summarizes overall risk, flags pronunciation and translation pitfalls, and suggests cleaner alternatives. No data leaves your phone.

How it works

  1. Type a name. Two characters or more, anything goes.
  2. Watch the report build. All six sources run concurrently with an animated progress sheet.
  3. See the domain availability for free. Eight TLDs (.com, .net, .org, .app, .io, .co, .dev, .ai) are always shown — no unlock required.
  4. Unlock the rest in one of two ways. Watch a short rewarded ad to unlock that one search for 24 hours, or pay $1.99 once to unlock every past and future search forever with no ads.

Privacy first

NameVett does not collect any personal data. Searches stay on your device. Your name query is sent only to the public services it checks against (USPTO, EUIPO, iTunes Search, RDAP, and the five social platforms). None of those services receive any user identifier. Read the full privacy policy →

Support

NameVett is a single-purpose, single-developer app. Common questions are answered below — most issues are settled here without anyone needing to be in the loop.

I paid for the unlock but my report is still locked.

Open Settings → Restore Purchase inside the app. StoreKit re-checks Apple's records using the same Apple ID you bought with and re-applies the entitlement. If you're signed into a different Apple ID than the one used at purchase, sign back into the original one first.

The trademark search returned "Couldn't reach USPTO."

USPTO's public trademark site is rate-limited at the network edge and occasionally blocks bursts of automated requests. NameVett shows a "Search USPTO directly" button when this happens, which opens USPTO's own search page in Safari with your name pre-filled. Try again in a few minutes if you'd rather see the results inside the app.

The AI Summary, Sounds & Meaning, or Alternatives card is missing.

Those cards run on Apple's on-device Foundation Models. They appear only on iPhones that support Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri, after the on-device model has finished downloading. Older devices will see the rest of the report normally.

I want a refund.

All purchases go through Apple. Request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com — Apple processes refunds for the App Store directly. NameVett does not see your payment information and cannot refund through any other channel.

How is my data handled?

Nothing leaves your device beyond the search query itself, which is sent to the public APIs listed in the Privacy Policy. No accounts, no analytics, no IDFA collection, no tracking prompt. If you choose to watch a rewarded ad, Google AdMob receives standard ad-delivery signals (device model, IP, request timing) under their non-personalized configuration — never linked to your identity. NameVett does not run a server.

Found a bug or have a feature suggestion?

Submit it through Apple's App Store review on the app's listing — every review gets read, and feature requests pulled from reviews go into the next release notes. Reviews are also the most useful place to flag a bug since they include your device + iOS version automatically.

Stop searching the USPTO website on your phone.

Available on the App Store. One-time $1.99 unlock — no subscription.
