Pick a mode
Use the toolbar to switch between Stopwatch and Countdown. Switching does not erase the other mode's settings.
Run and log
Stopwatch: press Start, then Record segment (or L) anytime. Countdown: set h/m/s or use a preset; after zero it shows overtime.
Shortcuts and export
Space starts/pauses, L records a segment in stopwatch or adds 10 seconds in countdown, R resets the active mode. Copy logs from the toolbar.
Does it stay accurate if I change tabs?
Usually yes — timing is based on elapsed time. If the browser throttles a background tab, it should catch up when you return.
What happens after the countdown hits zero?
It keeps running and shows overtime (positive time) so you can see how far past the limit you are.
What is the last-three-second alert?
While counting down, you get short beeps at about 3, 2, and 1 seconds left if audio is allowed. Some browsers block sound until you interact with the page.
Where is my data stored?
Segments and events are shown on screen; the preset duration and event list are saved in your browser's local storage for the same device and browser.
Can I copy my results?
Yes. Copy Records turns the current mode's segments or countdown events into plain text you can paste elsewhere.
