vocalstim

vocalstim is a timing game for people who sing along in their heads. You press play and the song's intro starts, with a clock running from the first note. Before the singer comes in, the music fades out, but the clock keeps going, and you have to keep the song going in your mind and hit Stop at the moment the vocals would start.

Then the game plays the real moment the voice comes in and shows your stop against it on two waveforms. Each song is worth up to 1,000 points, with 250 more for a bullseye, and songs with longer silences before the singing get more leeway. There are three songs a day, and new ones arrive every midnight. A practice song shows the idea before your first go, and each song shows its album art, year and the first words sung, so you know what you are waiting for.

You can play without an account; signing in by email link or Google keeps your streak and stats across devices. Past days can be played any time but do not count toward your streak. The songs play through YouTube's player, and vocalstim itself sets no cookies.
