Renameproof exists because the usual checks miss the things that actually force a rename: a live business with the same name, a near-identical app, an ID you can’t change later. We learned it first-hand: our first name, Clearname, failed our own check, so we changed it before launch.
We were renaming a pre-launch photography app. Of 362 candidate names, a handful survived the usual domain and store checks.
One “clean” name belonged to a wedding photography studio. Another was a near-match for Shutterfly. Free tools had shown both as fine.
Every registered domain gets opened. Both stores get searched by country. Bundle IDs get checked. Every finding keeps its source.
Every finding links to the request that produced it, with the time and the reply. You can check our work.
Unpublished bundle IDs, offline businesses and some trademark registers aren’t visible to any tool. We say so in every report.
A taken domain can be harmless or a deal-breaker. Claude reads what’s there and tells you which, based on what you’re building.
Renameproof is a first-pass screen. Before you file or spend money, ask a trademark attorney.
No cached guesses. Each check asks the source directly and keeps the reply.
