Generate app names that sound like they belong on an app store: short compounds like Daybook and Lockbox, coined blends like Snapfolio and Calendoodle, evocative single words like Ember and Solace, and invented brandables like Zylo and Veyo, grouped loosely by app category.
About app names
App names live in a tiny space: a home-screen label that truncates at roughly 11 characters, a search result where the icon does half the talking, and a sentence like "just put it in ___". The names that work are short and come in a few shapes. Plain compounds (Daybook, Lockbox, Stepcount) say what the app does at a glance. Evocative real words with a twist (Ember, Hearth, Solace, Margin) feel premium and leave room to grow. Coined blends (Snapfolio, Calendoodle, Pawtrol) are playful and almost always available. Invented two-syllable words (Zylo, Veyo, Tandi) are the most brandable but need an icon and tagline to explain them.
A good app name is spellable after being heard once, it does not describe a single feature you might drop in version two, and it reads cleanly in lowercase next to an icon. Avoid stacking the suffix everyone else uses; there are thousands of -ly, -ify and -io apps and users cannot tell them apart. A name that hints at the outcome (Sleepwell, Focusbloom, Fairshare) ages better than one that hints at the tech.
The list runs loosely by category: notes and productivity, money, fitness, food, sleep and mind, habits, social, photo and design, music, learning, travel, home, pets, kids, games, utilities, shopping, developer tools, then coined and invented brandables.
Tips for choosing a name
- Type the name into the App Store and Google Play search box before anything else; a name that is already taken by an app in the same category is a non-starter even if the trademark is clear.
- Check the 11-character home-screen limit: a name like Calendoodle displays fine, but anything longer gets truncated with an ellipsis under the icon.
- Pair the name with a one-line descriptor for the store listing (Daybook: daily journal) so a coined or invented name still explains itself in search results.
- Say the name inside the sentence a user would actually use, like 'I logged it in ___' or 'send me the ___ link'; if it sounds awkward or rhymes badly with the verb, keep looking.
- Check the .app and .com domains plus the social handles on the same day; for invented names the exact match is usually free, for compounds expect to add get-, -app or -hq.
Frequently asked questions
What makes a good app name?
A good app name is short (ideally under 11 characters so it fits under the icon), easy to spell after hearing it once, and suggests the outcome rather than a single feature. It should look right in lowercase next to an icon and still make sense if the app grows beyond its first use case. Daybook, Fairshare and Sleepwell all pass; a feature name like PhotoCropTool does not.
Should my app name be a real word or a made-up one?
Real words and compounds (Hearth, Lockbox, Mealmate) are instantly understood but more often taken. Coined blends (Snapfolio, Pawtrol) and invented words (Zylo, Veyo) are easier to trademark and get a domain for, but need an icon and tagline to explain them. Many successful apps land in the middle: a real root with a slight twist, like Budgie for a budgeting app.
How do I check if an app name is taken?
Search the exact name in the App Store and Google Play, then run a quick trademark search in the USPTO and EUIPO databases under Class 9 (software) and Class 42 (software services). Finally check the .app and .com domains and the social handles. If a close match exists in the same category, pick another name even if the exact spelling is free.
Can I use these names for my real app?
Yes, the names here are original suggestions and are free to use as starting points. Because app stores are crowded, always verify availability for your specific category and region before publishing, and avoid names that are one letter away from an existing well-known app, since store search will send your users to the wrong one.
