Hello, I created Synctify to help you sync the drop in a song with the start of the new year or any other noteworthy or casual event. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Hi. I like the concept but could not figure out what this app does before I read your comment. I am familiar with the concept of a "drop" in modern music but didn't immediately associate it with the feature. An example or a more detailed description could be helpful.

Thanks, that's helpful. I'll probably call it a moment instead of a drop in future descriptions.

Honestly, drop is the better word. I read the title with drop and understood what it meant, but I wouldn’t have if you called it moment.

Contextually I like the word "drop" more too. Saying that, I might want to sync a moment in time with a particular Yann Tiersen's piano phrase that's hardly a drop, more like a favorite bit that I want to hear right when the clock strikes midnight.

Really cool idea. One second is a long time. A drop being synchronized within a 0.5 second of an event can be a bit of a miss.

Would it be possible to make this more precise?
