📘 About the Online Stopwatch Tool
Press Start (or the space bar) to begin timing, Lap (L) to record split times and Reset (R) to clear. The stopwatch uses your device's high-resolution clock, so it stays accurate even if you switch to another tab.
Copy your laps to paste into a spreadsheet or training log. Nothing is sent to a server.
