How to use the online stopwatch
- 1Start the timer
Press Start or hit the Space bar. The display counts up in minutes, seconds and hundredths of a second, extending to hours when you time long sessions.
- 2Record laps
Press Lap (or the L key) at each checkpoint. Every lap shows its own split time plus the total elapsed time, with your fastest and slowest laps highlighted.
- 3Stop and reset
Press Stop or Space to freeze the timer, and Reset (or R) to clear everything back to zero for the next run.
Features
The display shows hundredths of a second and every time value is computed from the system clock, so pauses and drift never creep in.
Record as many laps as you want. Each lap lists its number, split time and running total in an easy-to-scan table.
Once you have two or more laps, your best lap glows green and your slowest glows red so patterns jump out instantly.
Space starts and stops, L records a lap, R resets — keep your hands where you need them while you coach, cook or train.
Short sprints show minutes and seconds; long sessions automatically grow an hours digit so nothing ever rolls over.
It is a single page with no server calls — it keeps perfect time on phones, tablets and desktops, even with a spotty connection.
