When .dev works best
Use .dev when the extension reinforces the product story instead of feeling like a fallback. Lobby explores names that connect to the app's value, audience, behavior, and positioning.
.dev domain ideas
Find available .dev domains
.dev domains are useful for developer platforms, APIs, and open-source tools because the extension speaks directly to technical buyers. Describe your app and Lobby will generate brandable names, then check availability with RDAP.

Lobby combines AI naming ideas with RDAP availability checks so you can compare strong names and supported extensions without jumping between registrar search boxes.

Frequently asked questions
Is .dev good for app names?
Yes, when it matches the product category and audience. Lobby still checks alternatives like .com, .ai, .io, .app, and .dev so the final choice is practical.
Can Lobby check whether .dev domains are available?
Lobby checks selected extensions through RDAP where registry data is available, then marks each generated name as available, taken, or unable to verify.
