Stopwatch & Timer — Laps + Countdown Alarm
A precision stopwatch with lap splits, and a countdown timer with presets and an audible alarm. One tool, two modes — keyboard shortcuts, fullscreen display, and it works fully offline.
Use Cases
How to use the online stopwatch and timer
Click Start (or hit the spacebar) to begin timing. The display updates every millisecond.
Click Lap (or hit L) to record a split time without stopping the clock. All laps appear in the table below.
Click Pause to stop the clock without resetting. Click Start to resume from where you paused.
Click Reset to zero the clock, or switch to the Timer tab for a countdown with presets (1–60 min), custom minutes/seconds, and an audible alarm at zero.
