FAQ
- Does the stopwatch keep running if I switch tabs?
- Yes. The stopwatch tracks real elapsed time, so it stays accurate even if you switch tabs or the browser tab is in the background.
- How precise is the stopwatch?
- It measures time down to the hundredth of a second (centiseconds), which is precise enough for workouts, cooking, races, and everyday timing.
- Can I record multiple laps?
- Yes. Press Lap as many times as you need while the stopwatch is running. Each lap time is listed with the most recent at the top.
- Do I need to install anything or sign up?
- No. The stopwatch runs entirely in your browser — no installation, account, or download required.
