About Package Name Checker

A comprehensive tool designed to help developers validate package name availability across multiple platforms and ecosystems.

What is a Package Name Checker?

A package name checker is an essential tool for developers, app creators, and software teams to validate the uniqueness of their chosen package names before publishing apps or libraries. Whether you're releasing a mobile app on the Google Play Store, publishing a JavaScript package to the npm registry, distributing a Python library via PyPI, or creating a Homebrew formula, having a unique package name is crucial.

Our tool eliminates the need to manually check each platform by providing a unified interface that queries multiple package ecosystems simultaneously, saving you time and ensuring comprehensive coverage.
