About Moniker

Naming an app, service, or business today means bouncing between six tools: a rhyme dictionary, a thesaurus, an AI namer, a domain checker, a trademark search, a handle-availability site. None talk to each other. Ideas die in browser tabs. The rationale that mattered last Tuesday is gone by Friday. Moniker is a naming IDE that unifies all of it on one canvas.

What you can do

  • Explore - paste a seed word, branch by meaning, sound, rhyme, association, opposite, and narrower / broader terms.
  • Go deep - see definitions, pronunciation, syllables, rhymes, and related words for any name on the canvas.
  • Generate - five ways to coin a name: blends (Instagram), letter swaps (Flickr), prefixes and suffixes, compounds, and invented words. Each comes with a sentence explaining the choice.
  • Check feasibility - domain availability (.com / .io / .app), GitHub, npm, Bluesky, Reddit, iTunes, and a US trademark click-through. Every signal loads alongside the name so you never leave the canvas.
  • Organise - save finalists to a board with columns for shortlist, finalist, and killed, and notes per candidate.
  • Sound Check - send an A-or-B voting link to your audience (designers, cofounders, target customers). See which name wins per group, where groups disagree, and an AI summary of what voters actually said.

How we think about it

  • AI only where it earns its keep. Linguistic look-ups, feasibility checks, and audience voting are deterministic and free. AI runs only when there's a specific judgement call it is genuinely better at, like coining a name or reading 200 voter comments. Unlocked by a pass, not metered per call.
  • Your decisions are recorded, not gambled. Boards keep notes per candidate. Sound Check verdicts split by audience group so you can see where designers, cofounders, and customers actually disagree.
  • No hostage situation. Your boards, candidates, poll verdicts, and comments are yours and exportable. If we ever wind down, you get 30 days' notice and a full export.
  • We don't sell your data. No analytics brokers, no tracking pixels. Anonymous poll votes stay anonymous.

Pricing at a glance

Exploration, feasibility, boards, and Sound Check polling are free. A 3-day trial pass lands when you verify your email; after that, A$5 for 7 days or A$15 for 60 days of unlimited AI. Passes expire on a date you can see, with no subscriptions and no auto-renew.
