ModeDescription
Real TimeTracks actual elapsed time regardless of game state
Game TimeTracks elapsed in-game time based on world time changes

Click the mode indicator to switch between modes.

  • Counts real seconds, minutes, and hours
  • Continues running even when the game is paused
  • Useful for tracking real-world session time or breaks
  • Tracks elapsed time based on Foundry’s world time
  • Advances when game time advances (via time controls or real-time clock)
  • Pauses when game time is paused
  • Useful for tracking in-game durations (spell effects, travel time, etc.)

ButtonAction

All stop watch keybinds are unbound by default. See Keybinds for configuration instructions.


Click Lap to record the current elapsed time. Laps appear in a scrollable list below the main display.

Each lap shows:

  • Lap number
  • Elapsed time at that lap
  • Time since previous lap (split time)

Use laps to track intervals, phases, or checkpoints during timed activities.


Elapsed time format is configurable per mode in Settings Panel > Stop Watch tab:

  • Elapsed Time (Real Time). Format for real-time mode
  • Elapsed Time (Game Time). Format for game-time mode

Display Formats section shows a live preview of how the format renders.
