Launching Namekit: The Domain Search Tool That Actually Shows Available Names
Hey fellow indie hackers!
After months of late nights and countless iterations, I'm excited to share Namekit with you all today.
The Problem
I kept running into the same frustration while starting new projects: domain search tools are fundamentally broken. They show you everything except what you actually need - domains you can register right now at regular prices.
Instead, I'd get:
"Premium" domains at ridiculous markups
Pages of parked domains with "make an offer" links
Endless "taken" results with no alternatives
Affiliate-heavy results pushing expensive TLDs
In the age of AI and evolving search, I realized the old advice about needing the "perfect" domain is increasingly irrelevant for most of us. Yet the tools are still designed to funnel us toward premium brokers.
The Solution
Namekit is simple: it only shows you domains you can actually register today at standard prices. No premium listings, no brokers, no nonsense.
I built two versions:
Namekit (namekit.app) - Clean, fast interface focused on finding available domains
Namekit CLI - The same powerful search right in your terminal for developers
Both share a core philosophy: your time is better spent building something great than obsessing over the "perfect" domain name.
Key Features
One-time payment model (no subscriptions!)
Filter that automatically excludes premium-priced domains
Intelligent suggestion engine for available alternatives
Bulk availability checking
CLI tool that integrates with your development workflow
Direct registration through standard registrars
Early Results
Since soft-launching last month:
Dozens users have already found and registered domains
Average search-to-registration time: under 5 minutes
$0 spent on premium domains (that's a feature, not a bug!)
Pricing
I'm keeping it simple - one payment, lifetime access. No recurring fees, no upsells.
Namekit Indie: $59 one-time
Namekit Pro: $99 one-time
IH Special: Use code INDIE30 for 30% off during launch week.
Looking for Feedback
I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially on:
What features would make domain hunting less painful?
How do you integrate domain search into your project workflow?
CLI users - what integrations would be useful?
This is just v1.0 - I have a roadmap full of ideas, but want to make sure I'm building what actually helps fellow indie hackers.
Thanks for checking it out, and I'm around to answer any questions!
P.S. Tired of hitting "taken" endlessly? Built this to find available domain gems without premium prices. Saved me hours as an indie dev - hope it helps your projects too! Visit Namekit
