Stopwatch

Precise online stopwatch with lap times

What is the Stopwatch?

The stopwatch works like this: it measures elapsed time with lap recording and millisecond precision, surviving accidental refreshes within the session. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

How to use the Stopwatch

1. Enter the date, time or duration you start from.
2. Add the operation's parameters.
3. Read the result, which updates live.
4. Copy values you need elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

Does it use the device clock?

Yes - timing derives from performance.now(), which is monotonic and unaffected by system clock changes.

How precise are the lap times?

Millisecond precision, with each lap recorded alongside the cumulative elapsed time - the standard split-view athletes and testers use.

What happens if I accidentally refresh?

Within the same browser session the stopwatch state survives a refresh - a deliberate safety net for timing long tasks, though a brand-new session starts from zero.
