How to name your app

  1. Make it fit under an icon

    On a phone, your name sits under a small icon with room for about 12 characters. Short names (one word, two syllables) don’t get cut off, are easier to search in the store and look sharper on the icon itself.

  2. Say it out loud

    If you have to spell your name twice on the phone, people won’t find you when they search. Pick a name that’s easy to say, spell and remember after hearing it once.

  3. Check it’s free

    Search the App Store, Google Play and the web, the domain and your trademark database before you commit. Another app with a similar name will split your audience and could cost you the name.

  4. Leave room to grow

    A name tied to one feature can feel tight when your app grows. If you might add more features later, choose a name that promises a feeling or a result, not a single button.

  5. See it as a logo

    A name looks different on a sign than in a notes app. Tap any name on this page to see it drawn as an app logo, in colour, before you decide.

Questions

How do I choose a name for my app?

Start with how you want users to feel, then pick a style: short and catchy, says what it does, invented and brandable or friendly and playful. Shortlist five names, say them out loud, check the domain and social handles, then see each one as a logo. The one that still looks right on a sign usually wins.

What’s a good name for an app?

Good app names are short, easy to spell and say something about what you offer. A few from this page: Tappy, Plan Pal and Kivvo. Tap any of them to see it drawn as a logo.

Can I use these app names?

They’re ideas to start from. Before you use one, check it isn’t already taken on the App Store, Google Play and the web, in your trademark database, and as a domain and social handle. Adding your own name or a twist makes most of them unique.

Can I make a logo for my app name?

Yes. Type your name above or tap one of the ideas, and Zenn draws app logos with it straight away. Pick one, change the colours and font, then download it. Designing is free; a Basic logo is $20, a Premium logo with every file type is $65 and the Brand kit is $96 a year.

Can Zenn suggest more names?

Yes. Open the logo maker and tap Business Names: describe your business and Zenn suggests names you can turn into logos in one tap.

Do I own my app logo?

Yes. Once you buy it, the logo is yours to use on your sign, website, packaging and socials, for ever.
