Laps
Track time without extra menus or setup

Online stopwatch
Online stopwatch to track elapsed time, record laps, and use a simple stopwatch for study blocks, workouts, games, or short tasks.
A stopwatch for short runs, intervals, and quick timed work
The online stopwatch fits when you want to measure open time instead of counting down from a limit: workouts, games, study blocks, breaks, or any task where only elapsed time matters.
Use cases
When an online stopwatch is useful
Workouts and intervals
Helpful for runs, rest windows, repeated sets, and short timed drills.
Study and focused work
It also works for reading sessions, practice blocks, or tasks where you want to know how much time you already spent.
Games and live activities
Useful in challenges, classroom rounds, or group activities where elapsed time shapes the turn.
When to use it
An online stopwatch works best when you need open timing, not a countdown
If you want to see how long something has taken and mark laps, a stopwatch fits better than a classic timer.
No fixed duration required
You can start it and let it run for as long as needed without choosing a target first.
Laps stay recorded
That helps when one activity has several stages and you want to keep each mark visible.
Open and begin
There is no heavy setup. The main block already covers the most common stopwatch use.
Use it better
Small details that make a stopwatch more useful
Only mark laps when they mean something
If every tiny pause becomes a lap, the history is harder to read later.
Reset between separate sessions
Keeping sessions apart makes the recorded time easier to interpret.
Use it when elapsed time matters
If you actually need a countdown to zero, a timer is usually the better fit.
