Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the stopwatch?

It uses your browser's high-resolution timer, so it is accurate to well under 1/100 of a second, and switching tabs does not slow it down.

What do "Lap time" and "Total" mean?

"Lap time" is the time since the previous lap. "Total" is the time since you started. The fastest and slowest laps are highlighted once you have three or more.

Are my times saved?

No. Everything stays in this tab and is cleared when you reset or close it. Copy your laps if you want to keep them.
