Online Stopwatch & Timer — Free Countdown Timer and Stopwatch
What is a Stopwatch & Timer?
A stopwatch tracks elapsed time with precision, and a countdown timer alerts you when a set duration has passed. Our tool combines both in one clean interface — use the stopwatch with lap recording for workouts and meetings, or the countdown timer for cooking, presentations, and focused work sessions.
