A sleek stopwatch timer with start, pause, reset, and lap recording functionality. The UI features an animated dark background with floating orbs, a real-time digital display using the Orbitron font, a 2×2 control grid with glowing buttons, and a scrollable lap list that tracks both split and total times. Keyboard shortcuts (Space, R, L) are also supported.
