Features

What the app does

  • Runs on your phone

    Your phone contacts each site directly. There's no scan server, so your searches never reach us.

  • 3,450+ sites

    Social networks, gaming, developer platforms, forums, creative and shopping sites, all checked in one go.

  • Profile details

    Deep search shows the public name, avatar, bio and links behind each found account. An optional ad unlocks it.

  • Export to JSON or CSV

    Save your results as a JSON or CSV file to keep or share. An optional ad unlocks it.

  • 10 languages

    English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Hindi, Indonesian, Turkish and Russian.

  • Light and dark

    Pick a light or dark theme, whichever is easier on your eyes.

  • Free searches every day

    Every day starts with free searches. Watch an optional ad when you want more.

  • Nothing to buy

    There's nothing to buy and no subscription. Ads pay for the app.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can the developer see what I search?

No. Your phone contacts each public website directly, so searches and results never reach us. The websites you check can see your IP address, just as when you visit them in a browser.

Is it really free?

Yes, there's nothing to buy. You get free searches every day, and an optional rewarded ad unlocks more searches or a stretch of Deep search and export.

Are the results always right?

No tool can promise that. Websites change, show bot checks or return placeholder pages, so some sites show as Blocked or Unknown and some matches will be wrong. Open each result to verify it.

Is there an iPhone version?

Not yet, but one is on the way. Until then, the web version works in any browser.

Is this the official WhatsMyName project?

No. This app uses the open-source WhatsMyName dataset by Micah Hoffman under CC BY-SA 4.0, but it is not affiliated with or endorsed by that project.

How do I contact you?

Email [email protected], or in the app go to Settings → Send feedback.
