Is There a Stopwatch on Mac? Clock App and Browser

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Yes on recent Macs: macOS includes a Clock app (open it from Launchpad or Spotlight) with a Stopwatch tab and laps. On older macOS versions without it, or when you want keyboard shortcuts and a full-screen display, use the stopwatch above in Safari or Chrome: space starts and stops, L records laps and R resets.
