# Your own domain

Use an address you already own.

After you keep an app you can give it a name of your choosing (`family-books.uarpie.app` instead of `quiet-harbor-4471.uarpie.app`) and, on Personal and above, attach a domain you own.

## Adding a domain

From the app's **Address** tab, or ask your AI ("use books.example.com for the family app"). You get exactly one DNS record to add at your domain provider, a CNAME. Once it resolves, a certificate is issued automatically and renewed forever.

## While it is pending

Status shows *Waiting for DNS*. It usually takes minutes, sometimes an hour. The `uarpie.app` address keeps working throughout.

## Screening

Because free hosting with real certificates attracts abuse, some domains are reviewed before they are attached. If yours is, you are emailed when it clears.
