Question 1

Does the timer stay accurate in background tabs?

We compensate for browser throttling to maintain accuracy, but browsers may pause timers in background tabs. For critical timing, keep the tab active.

Can I record lap times with the stopwatch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Click the Lap button to record intermediate times while the stopwatch continues running. All lap times are displayed in a list for easy reference.

Is there a sound notification when the countdown ends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can enable an optional audio alert (short beep) that plays when the countdown reaches zero, ensuring you don't miss the end time.

Can I set a countdown for hours or just minutes?

Accepted Answer

You can set countdowns for any duration—seconds, minutes, or hours. Enter your desired time and the countdown will display the remaining time in the appropriate format.

Question 5

Will the timer continue if I close the browser?
