Stopwatch
A simple stopwatch with lap times you can embed in any Notion page.
About this widget
The Olivtwig Stopwatch widget is a clean start/pause/lap stopwatch you can embed directly in a Notion page. Press start to begin, pause to hold, lap to record a split, and reset to zero. There's no signup, no extension, no install — paste the URL into any Notion page and the stopwatch lives there. Designed for moments when you want elapsed-time tracking inside a workspace, document, or template, without leaving the page to open a separate timer app or phone.
Why a stopwatch inside Notion
Stopwatches are everywhere — on phones, on watches, in browser tabs. But each requires you to leave the page you're working on. Embedding the stopwatch directly in the Notion page where you'll log the result removes that round trip, which matters more often than it sounds: timing a presentation rehearsal, tracking how long a meeting actually ran, measuring how fast you can finish a routine task. The result is right where you'll record it.
How laps work
Click the lap button while the stopwatch is running to capture the current elapsed time as a split. Lap times are listed below the main display so you can see each interval at a glance. Reset clears the lap list along with the main time, returning you to a clean zero whenever you want to start fresh.
Where it earns its place
Stopwatch fits anywhere elapsed time itself is part of the workflow.
- Workout intervals
- Track sets, sprint intervals, or rest periods inside a workout page without picking up your phone.
- Cooking and timing
- Run multi-step recipes — pause between steps, hit lap when each component finishes.
- Presentation rehearsal
- Time yourself reading the deck script; lap each section to find pacing issues.
- Meeting length
- Track how long a meeting actually runs so the next agenda is planned more realistically.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Stopwatch widget free?
Yes. Every Olivtwig widget — including Stopwatch — is free to use, with no signup or login required.
Does it survive a page refresh?
The stopwatch is session-based — refreshing the page resets it to zero. For long-term tracking (days, weeks), the Counter or Habit Tracker widgets are a better fit.
How many lap times can I record?
There's no hard cap, but the list is intended for short sessions — typically you'd reset before moving to a new task rather than collecting hundreds of laps.
Can I export lap times?
Not directly. The list is read-only inside the widget — to keep it, copy the times out and paste them into your Notion page or a database.
Does it tick when I leave the page?
The stopwatch keeps running as long as the browser tab is alive. If you close the tab the time is lost — refreshing or revisiting starts from zero again.
