We actually applied to the last round of YC a few months ago with Exist but didn't make it. We've since taken a look at our approach, which was too broad, and decided to focus on health and fitness first before we gradually scale up to integrating with everything we can and tracking every aspect of your life. Gotta start small. We're also resigned to bootstrapping for the moment and will probably introduce pro accounts soon after launch too.

Hi! Your product looks very nice - not for me - but the design and overall feel is well done. I have some intimate knowledge of how these apps fail however and thought I'd heed warning. Once people get over the initial analysis part they'll slowly start winding down their use. So you'll have to introduce some feature (down the road) that gets people to consistently use the app over a long period of time. I don't have a specific answer on this, it's just something to start thinking about and try to get feedback on as early as possible.

I would really love to help support you guys anyway I can. If you're in the bay area in april, come out to Hackendo (http://hackendo.techendo.co). Let me know how I can help.

Nice work. I like that you included the correlations with confidence score in the MVP.

1) What about adding RescueTime? 2) Where can I sign up?

Thanks! If you click through to the home page via the header link, there's a sign up form at the bottom.

Rescue Time and some productivity trackers are coming once we're happy we've done a decent job on our initial focus of health and fitness. Which is hopefully not too far off.
