Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does it automatically check all platforms?
GitHub is verified in real time via its public API. Other platforms (Instagram, X, YouTube, etc.) cannot be directly queried from the browser due to CORS security policies, so we provide direct profile links that open in one click for manual verification.
Q. Do special character rules differ by platform?
Yes. Most platforms allow letters, numbers, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). Instagram also allows dots (.) but not at the start or end. X (Twitter) only allows underscores. The safest username uses only letters, numbers, and underscores.
Q. How is the uniqueness score calculated?
It's scored 0–100 based on length, special characters, starting character, and other factors. Higher scores mean better cross-platform availability. Short usernames (5 chars or fewer) score lower because they're almost always already taken.
Q. Can I get suggestions if my username is taken?
The current version searches your exact input. If taken, try adding numbers or a year (johndoe2025), an underscore (johndoe_), reversing the name (doejohn), or using initials. Short, memorable variations work best.
Q. Can I save or share my results?
Yes. The "Copy All URLs" button copies all 20 platform links to your clipboard at once. The "Share Result" button generates a URL pre-filled with your username for sharing via KakaoTalk or social media.
Q. Do you support Korean platforms?
Yes — Naver Blog, KakaoStory, Tistory, AfreecaTV, and Velog are included, covering 5 major Korean platforms alongside 15 global ones, displayed in separate sections.

Expert Knowledge: Username Availability Checker — Search 20+ Platforms Instantly
Your SNS handle is the foundation of your personal brand. Using the same username across YouTube, Instagram, X (Twitter), and other major platforms creates a "handle SEO" effect — when someone searches your name on Google, each platform profile appears in the top results, dramatically increasing your digital visibility.
The Sherlock Project (80K+ GitHub stars) is a Python CLI that searches 300+ sites for username availability. This web tool accounts for browser CORS restrictions by combining a real-time GitHub API check with direct profile links for 20 major platforms. Everything runs 100% client-side — no server costs, no data sent externally, and results appear instantly.
Username selection tips: 6–15 characters are easiest to remember and most compatible across platforms. Usernames similar to celebrities or trademarks risk being suspended under platform policies. For long-term personal branding, choose a short, pronounceable English combination — ideally one that's available across all major platforms simultaneously.
