The new Stopwatch gives you millisecond-precision timing with unlimited lap splits, right in your browser. No install, no sign-up.
What it does
- Millisecond display —
MM:SS.mmm, switching toH:MM:SS.mmmpast the hour mark - Unlimited laps — each press records a split; the table shows lap time and running total
- Fastest / slowest highlighting — green for best lap, red for worst; summary bar shows average
- Keyboard shortcuts —
Spaceto start/pause,Lto lap,Rto reset - Copy all laps — TSV export for Excel or Google Sheets
Accurate even in background tabs
Unlike setInterval-based timers, the stopwatch uses performance.now() — the browser’s monotonic high-resolution clock. Elapsed time is computed as current − start + accumulated, so pausing, resuming, and switching tabs introduce zero drift.
Try it
Open Stopwatch and start your next workout interval, cooking timer, or reaction time test. To learn about lap splits and keyboard shortcuts in detail, read the Stopwatch Guide.
