Unemployed Arts

Human judgment where it matters.

What we build

Custom software for people who'd rather own their stack than rent it.

Privacy-first websites. Custom systems.
Mobile apps that don't extract.
Hosting run by humans fluent in both cloud and bare metal.

For founders, publishers, clinicians, and anyone whose work outlasts a vendor's product roadmap. We build what fits, then stay around to keep it fitting.

What we reject

Most software gets sold as freedom and run as a trap.

No surveillance pixels. No dark patterns.
No vendor lock-in dressed up as “partnership.”

When the platform breaks, you become support staff for someone else's business model. Subscription creep, feature removals announced as upgrades, APIs deprecated to push you to a more expensive tier. None of that here.

Design decisions and disaster recovery don't belong to automated systems. They belong to a human with hands-on operational experience.
