A new movie and TV tracking app, Binge, has launched with a distinctive feature: it warns users about impending jump scares. This functionality is powered by Apple's Live Activities, bringing real-time notifications to the device's Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
The app aims to stand out in a crowded market by integrating Apple-specific features like Live Activities and iCloud sync. Binge also includes capabilities such as private notes, post-credit scene information, and detailed episode rating graphs.
Beyond jump scare warnings, Binge offers standard tracking functionalities like watchlists and viewing status. It also provides streaming availability information, allowing users to track titles in theaters for later at-home viewing.
Binge aggregates data from various sources, including Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, and offers a parent guide detailing content such as violence and frightening scenes. The app is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with a free download but requires a subscription or one-time payment for premium features.
