About Application Signal

Explore public YC companies from 2020 through today and generate a private, data-informed application fit report. Explore the patterns across recent YC companies, then turn your business plan into a private, evidence-led fit report. X and Y are normalized layout coordinates, not individual business metrics or scores., No matching companies is the largest inferred customer market in this view. The mirror samples once a day and has gaps, the longest ran 84 days from 2026-02-09, so a change on an unsampled day is attributed to the next sampled one.

About Trace

A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
