Movies are the best, but unfortunately there are a lot of movies that contain scenes some of us would rather not see. ReelCalm is a community based app designed to identify those harmful triggers in movies, so that those with past trauma can watch in peace.

Welcome to ReelCalm! ReelCalm is an idea I've had for quite some time. While watching a movie with my partner, we had to turn the movie off after a very disturbing scene that left her quite shaken. After conversations related to this event with other friends, I realized this was a very regular occurrence with a lot of people. The normal warnings we get at the beginning of movies are just not sufficient, so I set out to create a community of movie lovers who wish to help out others by expanding on the normal warnings, and adding more specific trigger warnings, so that you can be prepared when going into any movie night. This is also the first app I've designed and built myself, after spending 2020 learning iOS development. I hope you like it!

@theseanfarrell I was a front-line jungle fighter in Vietnam and Cambodia. Triggers are a serious problem. I wish you luck.

Thanks Al. I can't imagine what your experience must have been like, and I hope there are more and more tools at your disposal to combat the mental stress caused by that experience
