Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between stopwatch and timer?

The stopwatch counts up from zero and allows you to record lap times. The countdown timer counts down from a set time and alerts you when time is up.

Does the timer work offline?

Yes. Both the stopwatch and countdown timer work entirely in your browser and do not require an internet connection.

Can I record lap times?

Yes. In stopwatch mode, click the Lap button to record split times. All laps are displayed in a table with lap number, split time, and total elapsed time.

Does the timer make a sound when finished?

Yes. The countdown timer plays a beep sound when the time reaches zero, provided your browser supports the Web Audio API.

What are the quick presets?

Quick presets are common timer durations (1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 minutes) that you can select with one click instead of manually entering minutes and seconds.
