Online Stopwatch

Whether you are timing a workout, a study session, or a work task, you need a tool that is both accurate and easy to use. While phone apps are convenient, they are not always ideal when you are working on your computer.

For this reason, our free online stopwatch provides a simple and reliable solution right in your browser. We designed it with a large, easy-to-read display and essential features like a lap timer. Consequently, you can track not only the total elapsed time but also individual split times with precision.

3. Stop the Timer: After that, click the “Stop” button to pause the stopwatch. You can then click “Start” again to resume.

4. Reset the Stopwatch: Finally, when you are finished, click the “Reset” button to clear the timer and all recorded laps, getting it ready for your next use.

Online Stopwatch FAQs

• Q: What is a “lap” or “split time”? A: A lap, or split time, is a feature that allows you to record the elapsed time at a specific point without stopping the main timer. For instance, athletes use it to time each lap of a race, which is why it’s a key feature of any good online stopwatch.

• Q: How accurate is this stopwatch? A: This tool is highly accurate because it uses your computer’s internal clock for timing. It can measure time down to the millisecond, which makes it suitable for most standard timing needs.

• Q: Can I export my lap times? A: Yes, absolutely. You can use the “Export” button to download a .txt file containing a clean list of all your recorded lap times, which is perfect for keeping a record of your sessions.
