About this tool

Sometimes you need to measure how long something takes — a run, a task, a drill, an experiment, a speech rehearsal — and a stopwatch is the tool. This one runs in your browser with no app to install, times to hundredths of a second, and records laps, which is what separates a useful stopwatch from a bare timer.

The lap feature captures a split each time you press it, building a table that shows each lap's individual time and the running total. When you have more than one lap, the fastest and slowest are highlighted automatically — immediately useful for interval training, where you want to see which rounds you're fading on, or any repeated task where consistency matters. The most recent lap sits at the top so you're not scrolling during activity.

Accuracy is the quiet feature here: the stopwatch accumulates elapsed time using the browser's high-resolution clock, so pausing and resuming is exact and there's no cumulative drift over long sessions. Start, pause, resume, lap and reset are all one tap. Free, private, no signup — and once loaded, it works offline.

How to use the Online Stopwatch

  1. 1Press Start to begin timing.
  2. 2Tap Lap to record a split — each lap's time and the total are listed.
  3. 3Pause and Resume as needed; the elapsed time stays exact.
  4. 4Fastest and slowest laps are highlighted once you have a few.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is this stopwatch?

It times to hundredths of a second (centiseconds) and uses the browser's high-resolution timer, accumulating elapsed time so there's no drift across pauses. It's reliable for training, cooking, experiments and general timing — though for officially sanctioned sports timing, dedicated hardware is still the standard.

What's the difference between split and total lap time?

The split is how long that individual lap took; the total is the cumulative time from the start. So on lap 3, the split is just lap 3's duration, while the total includes laps 1, 2 and 3. Both are shown for every lap.

Can I use this for interval training?

Yes — that's a core use. Record a lap at the end of each interval, and the fastest/slowest highlighting shows your consistency at a glance. It's ideal for running intervals, circuit training, or any repeated-round workout.

Does it keep timing if my screen locks?

On desktop, timing continues accurately in a background tab. On mobile, a locked screen or backgrounded browser may suspend the page — behaviour varies by device — so for critical mobile timing, keep the screen on. The elapsed-time calculation self-corrects when the page resumes.
