    A free online stopwatch with laps

    This online stopwatch measures elapsed time accurately and lets you record lap times, all inside your browser. It is a quick replacement for a physical stopwatch or a phone app.

    What people use it for

    • Timing runs, laps, sprints and workout intervals.

    • Science experiments and classroom activities.
    • Board games and quiz rounds.

    Stopwatch vs timer

    A stopwatch counts up from zero to show how long something took. A countdown timer counts down from a set time and alerts you when it ends. If you need an alarm after a fixed time, use the Countdown Timer instead.

    Tip: use the lap button to record split times without stopping the clock, then compare each lap to see where you were faster or slower.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What's the difference between the stopwatch and the countdown timer?
    The stopwatch counts up from zero with no set end point (useful when you don't know how long something will take), while the countdown timer counts down from a duration you set and alerts you at zero.
    Can I record multiple lap times without stopping the clock?
    Yes — the Lap button records a split time and keeps the stopwatch running, so you can track multiple intervals within one continuous session.
