Online stopwatch FAQ

How accurate is this stopwatch?

It uses your browser’s high-resolution performance clock and displays hundredths of a second. It is ideal for everyday timing, exercise, learning and productivity.

How do lap times work?

Select Lap while the stopwatch is running. Each split shows the time since your previous lap alongside the total elapsed time.

Will it keep running if I change tabs?

Yes. The stopwatch calculates elapsed time from the clock rather than counting screen updates, so switching tabs does not make it lose time.

Can I use keyboard shortcuts?

Yes. Press Space to start or pause, L to record a lap, and R to reset the stopwatch.

Is the stopwatch free and private?

Yes. It is free with no account required, and your timing data stays in your browser.
