About UUIDs & ULIDs

UUID v7 (recommended) embeds a Unix timestamp in the first 48 bits, making IDs naturally sortable by creation time. Ideal for database primary keys.

UUID v4 is fully random (122 bits of entropy). The most widely used version but not sortable.

UUID v1 uses a timestamp and node ID (MAC address or random). Sortable but can leak creation time.

ULID (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier) is a 26-character Crockford Base32 string. Like UUID v7 but shorter and case-insensitive.

All IDs are generated client-side using the Web Crypto API for cryptographically secure random values.
