Key Features: - Stopwatch Mode: Start, stop, and reset with precision down to milliseconds. Perfect for tracking laps, exercises, or any activity where accuracy matters. - Countdown Mode: Choose your countdown duration with a sleek picker, then control it with familiar Start, Stop, and Clear buttons.
