Keep time and record laps

Choose Start, then Lap whenever you want a split. Pause stops adding time, and Resume continues. Reset is available while paused.

Laps recorded at 10 and 25 seconds have durations of 10 seconds and 15 seconds. Their cumulative totals are 10 seconds and 25 seconds. Copy laps before leaving if you want to keep them.

How timing works

Elapsed time comes from the browser’s monotonic clock, so a delayed screen update does not itself lose time. Displayed hundredths are not a guarantee of precision. Sleep and browser page cleanup can interrupt the watch.

For a shift between two clock times, use the Hours calculator.

FAQs

Will it keep time in a background tab?

Usually, while the page stays alive. Device sleep, page reloads, or browser cleanup can interrupt timing. Keep the page open and copy any laps you need.

Does Pause clear the time?

No. Resume continues from the paused total, excluding the pause. Reset clears the time and laps and is available while paused.

What is a lap time?

The time since your previous lap, or since Start for the first lap. Total shows all running time up to that point.

How many laps can I record?

Up to 500 per run. The watch can continue after that limit. Copy laps saves the list to your clipboard; the page keeps no history.

For example: "Count the weekdays until a date, without holidays."
