How accurate is this stopwatch?

The stopwatch uses JavaScript's performance.now() API when available, falling back to Date.now(). It is accurate to within a few milliseconds — sufficient for athletic timing, cooking, and general use. For lab-grade precision, dedicated hardware instruments are required.

Can I record laps without stopping the timer?

Yes. The Lap button records a split time while the main clock continues running. The stopwatch never pauses when you press Lap.

How many laps can I record?

There is no hard limit. The lap list scrolls vertically, so you can record as many splits as needed. All laps remain visible until you press Reset.

How do I export the lap times?

Click the 'Copy Results' button after recording laps. The data is copied to your clipboard in a tab-separated format: Lap number, Lap time, and Total time. Paste directly into a spreadsheet.

Does the stopwatch continue if I switch tabs?

Yes. The stopwatch tracks elapsed time based on the system clock, so switching tabs or minimizing the browser does not affect accuracy. When you return, the display reflects the correct elapsed time.
