Online Stopwatch with Laps — Free & Accurate

← Clocktower TownThe Creative Island · Island 07

A clean stopwatch with lap times — for training, cooking, experiments and 'how long does this really take'.

00:00.0

How to use this tool

  1. Press Start — the clock runs in tenths of a second.
  2. Press Lap at each checkpoint — lap times are listed with the fastest marked ★.
  3. Pause and resume freely; Reset clears everything.

Example

Timing a 3-lap run: laps 02:31.4, 02:28.9 ★, 02:33.0 — the second lap is flagged best, so you know your consistent pace is around 2:30.

The formula

elapsed = accumulated time + current running stretch (measured in milliseconds)

What the result means

The lap list shows both total time and each split, with the fastest lap starred — useful for pacing, workouts, or finding which step of a process eats the most time. Keep the tab in the foreground for the steadiest accuracy.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is a browser stopwatch?

It uses the system clock (millisecond precision), so timing is accurate; the display updates every 50 ms. For official sports timing, use a certified device.

Do laps keep counting when paused?

No — pause freezes the clock; resume continues from the same total. Laps are only captured while running.

Why does it slow down in a background tab?

Browsers throttle background timers to save battery. Keep the tab visible while timing anything important.

Is it really free with no ads?

Yes — and it runs entirely in your browser.
