Timestamp-Based High Precision & Lap Splits

Export recorded lap splits directly to your clipboard for training logs, athletic records, or time studies.

Frequently asked questions

Does the stopwatch continue accurately in background tabs?

Yes! Because elapsed time is computed directly from OS hardware timestamps (`performance.now()`), browser background tab throttling will not cause any timing drift.

Can I copy my lap records?

Yes, click 'Copy Laps' to instantly copy all lap split times to your clipboard in tabular format.
