Paying brokers half your paycheck just feels wrong, especially when they only score you a so-so pad. Joinery makes the process easier by directly connecting apartment hunters and departing tenants, side-stepping the need for a broker (and that nasty fee).

Hiatus

2. Hiatus

Hiatus looks at all your auto-charged subscriptions and cancels the ones you deem unwanted or unnecessary. (Translation: Maybe it’s time to ask mom for her Netflix password.)
