I was working on a project (still too early) and I wanted to generate UUIDv7 compliant ids to mock the data. No such tool existed. So...

https://uuidv7.app is an online tool which generates UUIDv7 compliant ids. I also provide a simple free api at [1] which returns something like this: `{"id":"018b25e4-78a3-75e2-93cf-4004aef6c2ae"}`. Please be kind, there's currently no rate limiting.

No ads, loads fast (fingers crossed), works perfectly without javascript, a tool for fellow programmers. The whole project took me a week, it's made with Deno Fresh and hosted on Deno Deploy's paid plan. (if anyone from Deno Deploy wants to support this tool feel free to email me, my email is in my profile)

I'll soon add a feature to extract the timestamp from the id as a debugging tool.

Perhaps this is a silly question but why would you want to mock a UUID?!


There are no silly questions, but there are silly UUIDs (and silly people), worthy of being mocked.

I'm creating fake data to build the UI without the backend. I wrote a json file with the data and I could fill all the fields except for the ids.

There are other players offering UUIDv4 generation online such as uuidgenerator.net and uuidtools.com, my tool does the same.
