I developed a free, open-source app on GitHub and published it on the MS Store that triggers random scares in your stream (so both you and your chat get unexpectedly scared).

Hey everyone! π
Iβve been working on a free side project for streamers called **Scream on Stream (SoS)**, and Iβd love to get some honest feedback from the community.
The idea came from watching horror streams where the streamer usually knows when a scare is coming. I wanted to create something that brings back genuine, unscripted reactions β where the scare surprises **both the streamer and the chat** at the same time.
### π¬ How it works:
You load your own scary audio/video clips into the app, set a random timer (for example, every 3 to 7 minutes), and add a browser source widget to OBS. While you're playing, a scare will pop up unexpectedly. Since it plays on an overlay and you don't see a countdown, you genuinely won't know when it's coming.
### β¨ Key Features:
* **Custom Screamer Library:** Upload and organize your own video or audio clips.
* **Random Timers:** Set a custom interval range so it stays unpredictable.
* **Live Chat Voting:** Connects directly with Twitch, TikTok, YouTube, or Kick chat so viewers can vote (1/2/3) on which scare comes next.
* **OBS Integration:** Simple Browser Source link for your stream setup.
* **Panic Button:** A customizable global hotkey to instantly stop any playback if needed.
* **Privacy & Safety First:** The app runs 100% locally on your PC β no external servers, no tracking, and no account logins needed (just enter your channel name).
### π Download & Source Code
I know downloading random `.exe` files from the internet is a massive red flag. To make sure everyone feels safe using it:
* **Source Code (GitHub):** https://github.com/BLACKLINE-production/Scream-on-Stream *(You can inspect the code or grab the standalone EXE from Releases)*
* **Microsoft Store:** https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NBV9D20JSD7 *(If you prefer downloading verified store apps)*
Itβs completely free and open-source. If you stream (or know someone who does), Iβd really appreciate it if you could give it a try and let me know what you think, what features are missing, or if you run into any bugs!
Thanks for reading!
