An online web service that greatly automates and improve the renting process for both sides, the business and the user, for the end result of stop wasting everyone's time of searching from half thought filters and incomplete results (on the user side) and make businesses work for the user\client by providing potential candidates for their offerings. I applied the idea of "stop wasting everyone's time" from a long and nauseant experience of researching for a living place in a big city.

Thought: Nowadays many business models are kind of lame, they just wait for the end user to find their offerings and get in touch with them (often to even get further basic info about the offer that wasn't available on the offer page). But because the amount of information is growing really quickly nowadays(plus duplication of it in different places), you can't really expect a single human being with limited brain memory getting able (in a sane and stress-free way) to go through every single business of interest to find what you're searching for, especially when the data is updated/added day by day. Simple and stress-free platforms(mostly about research for goods or services) for the end user and engaging businesses on the other side at the service of the client will be in great demand in the near future, in my appealing.

We're building a MacOS app that helps you stay focused and beat procrastination.

The app holds your to-do list and automatically adds a timer function. The timer is activated when your to-do item has a number at the end. As in: "Get to zero inbox 30" That means the task is "Get to zero inbox" and the allotted time is 30 minutes. If that's the top item on the list, the timer starts instantly and automatically, with the full task appearing on your menu bar (This description comes from Mike Elgan 1)

You can check us out at http://www.tryeffortless.com.

Wishing you all good luck!

Has anybody heard from YC yet? In the past, I've gotten a rejection email midday (2pm pacific), but now it's after 9pm pacific, and I still haven't heard one way or another...

Nothing yet.

Just heard.
