Counting Up, Not Down
Sometimes you don't know how long something will take — that's exactly what a stopwatch is for. Start it, record a lap whenever a segment finishes, and see both how long that segment took and your running total.
Stopwatch
Start, stop, reset, and record laps with split and cumulative times.

How to Use This Tool

Good to Know
- This is a genuinely different tool from the Countdown Timer (which counts down to zero) and the Pomodoro Timer (fixed work/break intervals) — this counts freely up from zero, for timing anything of unknown length.
- Split time is how long that specific lap took; the total is the cumulative time since you pressed Start — both are shown for every lap.
- Useful for timing workouts, cooking steps, presentations, or any repeated activity where you want per-segment timing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this and the Countdown Timer?
A stopwatch counts up from zero with no set end point — you decide when to stop. The Countdown Timer counts down to a specific time or event instead.
Does closing the tab reset the stopwatch?
Yes — time isn't saved between sessions, so keep the tab open while timing something.
How accurate is the timing?
It uses your browser's high-resolution timing, accurate to the hundredth of a second shown on screen.
