Frequently asked questions

Does it run in a background tab?

Yes. Elapsed time is derived from the start timestamp when the page updates again.

Can I pause and resume?

Yes. Pause preserves the elapsed duration; Start resumes from it.

How precise is the display?

The display shows tenths of a second; browser scheduling can affect repaint timing.

Does reset keep the time?

No. Reset clears the elapsed time to zero.

Is timing data uploaded?

No. Stopwatch state remains on the page.
