UUID versions explained
UUID v1 combines a timestamp with the device's MAC address. While it guarantees uniqueness, it exposes the creator's network identity and creation time, raising privacy concerns. It's rarely used in modern applications.
UUID v4 is the most widely used version. All 122 bits (excluding 6 version/variant bits) are randomly generated using a cryptographically secure random number generator. It's simple, private, and has an astronomically low collision probability.
v4 random vs v7 time-orderedPrivacy and security
AwesomeToolkit generates UUIDs entirely in your browser. For v4, we use crypto.randomUUID() when available, falling back to crypto.getRandomValues(). For v7, we combine Date.now() with crypto.getRandomValues().
No UUID, no configuration, no data of any kind is ever sent to our servers. The tool works completely offline once the page is loaded.
