Timer & Stopwatch Tool with FAQs

Timer & Stopwatch Tool

How to Use

Timer: Press Pause to pause the timer and Restart to reset it to the full 8 minutes. The timer counts down from 8:00.00 (mm:ss.xx) to zero, with an alert popup at the end.
Stopwatch: Press Start to begin counting up from 00:00.00, Pause to freeze, and Reset to clear the stopwatch.
Both tools work independently and display time with centiseconds (hundredths of a second).
Keep the browser tab active for more accurate timing, as minimized tabs or computer sleep may affect precision.
