Stopwatch

What this timer is for

The stopwatch measures open-ended time. There is no target and nothing to complete — it simply runs until you stop it.

Starting a session

Press Start to begin counting from zero.

Pause and resume

Pause holds the elapsed time; Resume continues from there. Laps recorded so far are kept.

Laps and splits

Press Lap while the stopwatch runs to mark a moment. Each lap records two numbers: its split — the time since the previous lap — and the total elapsed time when it was recorded.

The list in the timer settings shows every lap with its split and total, and once there are a few it names the fastest, slowest and average splits.

Laps can be downloaded as a CSV file from the list's Export action.

Reset and restart

Reset returns the stopwatch to zero and clears the laps. You are asked to confirm when laps would be lost.

Progress

The stopwatch shows no percentage and never completes, because there is no total to measure against.

Instead a small tracer travels once around the ring every minute while it runs, so you can see it is alive at a glance.

Customization

Appearance sets the progress style, thickness, presence and colour, the clock face and font, and the background.

Focus Mode and fullscreen

Focus Mode quietens the workspace around the timer; Fullscreen gives it the whole screen. Neither pauses the stopwatch.

Common questions

What is the difference between a lap and a split?: A lap is the moment you marked. Its split is how long that lap took — the time since the previous lap — and its total is the elapsed time at that moment.
Does it keep running while the tab is inactive?: Yes. Elapsed time is measured by the clock, so it is correct when you return.
Why is there no percentage?: A percentage needs a known total. The stopwatch has none, so it shows elapsed time only and the tracer instead of a fill.
