A multi-lap stopwatch that runs in the background. # Browser Stopwatch - Professional Multi-Timer & Lap Tracker In today’s fast-paced digital environment, managing time efficiently is more than just a convenience—it’s a necessity. Whether you are a freelance professional tracking billable hours across multiple clients, an athlete timing various segments of a workout, or a developer measuring the performance of different code modules, having a reliable, persistent, and easy-to-use timing tool is essential. Enter **Browser Stopwatch**, the most versatile and robust time-tracking extension designed specifically for the modern browser. ## The Power of Persistence The most common frustration with browser-based tools is the loss of data when a tab is closed, a browser is restarted, or a page is refreshed. Browser Stopwatch solves this problem at its core. Built using the latest Manifest V3 architecture, the extension utilizes a background service worker and local storage to ensure that your timers never stop unless you want them to. When you start a timer in Browser Stopwatch, it enters a state of persistent execution. You can navigate between tabs, close the popup, and even close your browser entirely—your progress is safely stored and continues to be tracked accurately. This reliability makes it the perfect companion for long-running tasks that span hours or even days. ## Multiple Timers for Complex Workflows Why settle for one stopwatch when your life involves multiple concurrent tasks? Browser Stopwatch is designed for power users who need to juggle various activities simultaneously. Our "Multi-Timer" feature allows you to create an unlimited number of named stopwatches, each running independently in the background. - **Freelancers & Consultants:** Give each client or project its own dedicated timer. No more guessing how long you spent on that research call versus the actual writing phase. - **Chefs & Home Cooks:** Keep track of the oven, the stovetop, and the marinating process all at once. - **Productivity Enthusiasts:** Use the Pomodoro technique or time-blocking strategies with precision, switching between "Deep Work" and "Rest" timers with a single click. Each timer can be uniquely named upon creation, ensuring you always know exactly what you are measuring. The clean, card-based interface provides a clear overview of all active and paused timers at a glance. ## Advanced Lap Tracking & Splits For tasks that require granular analysis, the Lap Split feature is a game-changer. Whether you’re timing a multi-stage process or recording individual repetitions, Browser Stopwatch makes it easy. With a single click, you can record a lap, capturing the exact elapsed time at that moment without stopping the main clock. The lap list is displayed directly within the timer card, allowing for quick review and comparison. This is invaluable for: - **Quality Assurance:** Timing how long different steps of a user journey take. - **Studying:** Measuring the time spent on individual questions during a practice exam. - **Physical Training:** Tracking lap times or interval sets directly from your toolbar. ## Seamless User Experience Browser Stopwatch is designed with a "less is more" philosophy. We believe that a tool should be powerful without being cluttered. - **Minimalist Design:** The UI is clean, professional, and stays out of your way. It follows modern design principles with a focus on readability and ease of use. - **One-Click Access:** Accessible directly from your Chrome toolbar, you can start, pause, or reset timers in seconds. - **Instant Status Updates:** The extension provides helpful status messages (e.g., "Timer Started," "Lap Recorded") to give you immediate feedback on your actions. - **Keyboard Friendly:** We’ve optimized the interface for speed, including "Enter" key support for quick timer creation. ## Privacy and Security First Your time is your data. Browser Stopwatch operates with a strict privacy-first approach. All timer data, lap records, and settings are stored locally on your device using `chrome.storage.local`. - **No Data Collection:** We do not track your browsing history, your location, or your usage patterns. - **No External Servers:** Your data never leaves your browser. There is no cloud syncing that could potentially expose your sensitive project names or timing data. - **Minimal Permissions:** We only ask for the permissions necessary to function (storage), ensuring a safe and secure experience. ## Globalization and Internationalization We believe that great tools should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their language. Browser Stopwatch is built from the ground up with a full internationalization (i18n) baseline. Every piece of text, from the timer controls to the status messages, is localized. This ensures a consistent and native-feeling experience for users around the globe. ## Join the Community We are committed to making Browser Stopwatch the best time-tracking tool on the web.
