Choose your options, then generate a software name.
Built at random from word lists for this topic, so some will fit better than others.
Software names live in docs, terminals, URLs and package managers as much as in marketing, so they need to be short, typeable and unique enough to search for. A name that is easy to remember but impossible to Google (like a common word) can hold a project back. Use the software name generator, then follow the checks below for package registries and domains.

Naming SaaS products vs. developer tools
SaaS products are named for buyers: they should suggest a benefit or feeling ("Clearbooks", "Shipwise"). Developer tools and libraries are named for users who type them: short, lowercase-friendly and distinctive ("vite", "deno", "zod"). Internal tools can be playful, but avoid in-jokes if the tool might be open-sourced later.
Checks before you ship a name
Search npm, PyPI, crates.io or the package registry for your language. Check GitHub for popular repos with the same name. Search Google with "software" or "app" after the name. Check the domain and trademark if you plan to sell it.
