System FAQ

How do I use an online stopwatch with lap times?

Click 'Start' to begin timing, then click 'Lap' to record split times without stopping. Each lap shows the split time and cumulative time. Click 'Stop' to pause and 'Reset' to clear.

How accurate is an online stopwatch?

This stopwatch uses the browser's requestAnimationFrame API (linked to your display refresh rate), making it accurate to within 1-2 milliseconds — precise enough for most timing needs.

Can I use this as a countdown timer?

Yes. Switch to Timer mode, enter your desired time (e.g., 25:00 for 25 minutes), and click Start. An audio alert will play when the countdown reaches zero.

Does the timer work in the background?

Browsers throttle JavaScript in background tabs. For best accuracy, keep the timer tab active or use your screen's picture-in-picture mode. The timer will still run, but may be slightly delayed.

Can I use this stopwatch for exercise intervals?

Yes. The lap function is perfect for tracking interval training. Record each set or round and compare your split times to monitor performance.
