This app warns you before every jump scare in a horror movie

If you love horror movies but hate being scared half to death, Binge might be the app you didn’t know you needed. It is a new movie tracking app for iPhone that utilizes Apple’s Live Activities feature to alert you to jump scares before they occur.

Open the app when your movie starts, and your iPhone will display scary warnings directly on the lock screen ahead of frightening scenes. You can even adjust the settings to only flag the big, heart-stopping moments and ignore the smaller ones, if you are feeling brave.

Does it work reliably, though?

Binge doesn’t integrate with any streaming service. It has no way of knowing you pressed play, which means you have to manually start the movie tracking in the app once you start playing. Once you do that, the app works reliably well.
