Frequently asked

Does it run in the background?

Browsers throttle inactive tabs. Keep the tab visible for the smoothest updates.

How precise is it?

Display shows centiseconds (0.01s). The underlying clock is millisecond-accurate.

Will my laps be saved?

Laps live in this tab only — Reset clears them and closing the tab discards them.
