Announcing GetUUID: a simple UUID, ULID and Nano ID generator

Streamlined Unique Identifier Generation

GetUUID is out! It is an extremely simple, free, and open-source web tool designed to make unique identifier generation effortless for anyone who needs quick access to standardized IDs.

Why I Built GetUUID

During my work with databases and distributed systems, I often needed a quick way to generate unique IDs for testing purposes. This led me to create a simple tool that would make ID generation straightforward and accessible.

I found that existing tools were often bloated with unnecessary features, had poor user experiences, or were limited to only one type of ID format. GetUUID solves these problems with a clean, minimalist approach that puts the focus on what matters: generating IDs quickly and efficiently.

Multiple ID Formats

GetUUID supports multiple identifier formats to accommodate different use cases:

• UUID v4: The industry standard random UUID with strong uniqueness guarantees, perfect for most general purposes
• UUID v1: Time-based UUIDs that include MAC address information, ideal for scenarios requiring chronological ordering
• UUID v7: The newest UUID standard offering time-ordered identifiers with improved sortability, excellent for database performance
• ULID: Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifiers combine the benefits of timestamp ordering with the uniqueness of random IDs
• Nano ID: Compact, URL-friendly unique string IDs, perfect for shorter identifiers in web applications

Key Features

GetUUID was designed with developer productivity in mind:

• One-Click Copy: Generate and copy IDs to your clipboard with a single click
• Local History: Automatically tracks your last 50 generated IDs, all stored securely in your browser's local storage
• Visual Feedback: Clear visual confirmation when IDs are copied
• Lightweight and fast: Minimal dependencies, works offline once loaded, no server-side processing
• Responsive Design: Fully functional on both desktop and mobile devices
