FAQ

Is it accurate when the tab is in the background?
Yes. It uses wall-clock time (Date.now()), not interval counting, so it remains accurate even when the browser throttles background tabs.
How many laps can I record?
There is no built-in limit. Laps are stored in memory for the current session.
Can I copy the lap times?
You can select and copy the text from the lap list with standard keyboard shortcuts.
