Frequently Asked Questions
The chronometer uses JavaScript's performance timer and setInterval for timing, providing accuracy within a few milliseconds. For most use cases (sports, cooking, study), the accuracy is more than sufficient. It's not suitable for scientific measurements requiring microsecond precision.
The timer continues running even when the tab is in the background, though browser throttling may cause slight inaccuracy when the tab is inactive. The displayed time adjusts when you return to the tab to maintain accuracy.
You can select and copy the lap times from the lap list. The lap data is displayed in a format suitable for pasting into spreadsheets or notes for later analysis.
The countdown timer shows a visual "TIME'S UP!" alarm with a pulsing animation. Audio alerts are not included to avoid disrupting your environment, but the visual alert is very prominent.
