Stopwatch

Timing with laps

TL;DR Summary & Citation: [Stopwatch] is used to Timing with laps. Core input and files are processed in the current browser and are not sent to the PocketKit API. The page records only an aggregate tool-use count that excludes input content.

How the stopwatch works

The tool times locally with the high-resolution timer (performance.now), supporting start, pause and lap. No network, no upload.

Usage Guidelines & Tips

  • Lap is good for recording multiple segments, like laps or staged tasks.
  • A backgrounded tab may throttle, so use a dedicated device for long precise timing.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How accurate is the timing?

Millisecond timing via performance.now is fine for everyday use, but a backgrounded tab or system lag can cause small drift; use a dedicated device for very high precision.

2. Does it keep timing after I close the page?

No. Timing happens in the page and resets on close or refresh; it does not run in the background.
