The author has a strong dislike for jump scares in movies, TV shows, and video games, and experiences physical discomfort when anticipating them. His wife, on the other hand, enjoys scary movies and tries to get him to watch them with her. The author discovers a Chrome extension called "Jump Scare" that provides a countdown before jump scares, but it already exists and his wife doesn't want to know when the jump scares are coming. He then finds a website called "Where's The Jump" that provides time codes for jump scares in movies and shows, but it's not user-friendly. A developer creates a simple app called "Jump Scare App" that allows users to search for a scary movie or show, start a timer, and receive notifications 10 seconds before a jump scare. The author tests the app while watching a scary movie, "The Conjuring," and finds it helpful in reducing his anxiety and allowing him to enjoy the movie more. However, the app is not 100% accurate and relies on the data from "Where's The Jump" website. Despite some limitations, the author finds the app useful and is more willing to watch scary movies with it.
