online stopwatch

A precise stopwatch with clean lap timing.

Start, pause, reset, and capture laps from a large millisecond display that updates with requestAnimationFrame.

Lap entries stay below the primary clock so the running time remains the most visible number on the page.

The stopwatch is fully client-side and does not send timing data anywhere.
