Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this stopwatch?

Does it work in the background?

Yes. The timer continues running even if you switch tabs. The elapsed time is calculated from the start timestamp, not from frame updates.

How many laps can I record?

Unlimited. All laps are listed in the scrollable panel below the buttons.
