A different username for every service you register on. It is one of the simplest privacy habits there is: a reused username links profiles across the web long before anyone touches your email or password.
Our founder Marcos follows that habit strictly, and it came with a recurring annoyance: every registration meant searching for yet another username-generator website, and hoping it was not tracking him while it generated his private identity.
So he built his own, and we are releasing it as open source. UsernameGenerator runs as a single command in the terminal, offline, in ten languages including Norwegian, Portuguese, English and even Latin. It combines curated dictionaries of only positive, heroic and inspiring words, and strips accents automatically so the result works on any platform. For everyone else there is the web version: no cookies, no tracking, nothing leaves the browser.
Built as a functioning prototype in a single session.
