    About the Stopwatch & Lap Timer

    Click Start to begin timing, Lap to record split and total times, Stop to pause and Reset to clear. The stopwatch displays hours, minutes, seconds and hundredths-of-a-second using a fixed-width monospace font for clean reading.

    Each lap shows lap number, split time (since the last lap) and total time. Useful for workouts, cooking, presentations, or any quick timing job.

    How it works

    The stopwatch uses performance.now() for high-precision timing — accurate to roughly 16 milliseconds (a single browser frame). The display refreshes every animation frame while running. Lap times capture the elapsed time at each Lap click and compute the split (since the previous lap) and total elapsed time.

    Frequently asked questions

    How precise is the stopwatch?
    Hundredths of a second (10ms) on the display. True precision depends on browser frame rate and tab focus — keep it visible for best accuracy.
    Does it keep timing if I switch tabs?
    Modern browsers throttle background tabs. The total elapsed time stays correct, but display updates pause until you return.
    Are laps saved between sessions?
    No — laps clear when you reload. For longer sessions, copy them out before closing.
