Senior software studio

Custom software, shipped.

We design, build, host, and maintain custom apps and internal tools for teams without an in-house engineering bench — with AI built in where it earns its place, at a fraction of the cost and timeline of a traditional agency.

02 / Build any app

One studio for the whole build

Web, mobile, internal tools — and the AI features inside them. We take the work from a rough idea to a maintained, production app. No agency layers, no hand-offs to juniors.

Web and mobile apps

Customer-facing products and platforms built on a modern stack, designed to grow with you instead of boxing you in.

  • Responsive web apps and progressive web apps
  • Mobile apps for iOS and Android
  • Clean, accessible interfaces designed in-house

Internal tools and automations

Replace spreadsheets, manual steps, and brittle scripts with tools your team actually wants to use.

  • Dashboards, admin panels, and back-office tools
  • Integrations with the systems you already run
  • Automations that remove repetitive work

Product design and rebuilds

Whether it is a clean slate or a tired legacy app, we shape the product and the experience before a line of code ships.

  • Product scoping and UX design
  • Rescuing and rebuilding aging codebases
  • Design systems that stay consistent as you scale

Hosting, maintenance, and support

We do not disappear at launch. We keep what we build fast, secure, and improving.

  • Managed hosting, monitoring, and backups
  • Security patches and dependency updates
  • A senior engineer who knows your system

AI integration where it helps

AI built into the software you already run — not a generic chatbot bolted on a sidebar. A smart assistant, document search, or an automation, wired into your data and workflows where it does real work. We add it when it earns its place, and skip it when it doesn't.

  • Assistants grounded in your own data
  • Document search and retrieval with citations
  • Automations that classify, summarize, and route

03 / How we work

A short path from idea to live

Small senior team, tight loops, no ceremony. You always know what is being built, why, and when it ships.

  1. 01

    Scope

    We pin down the real problem and the smallest version worth shipping. You leave with a clear plan and an honest estimate.

  2. 02

    Design

    We shape the product and the interface together, so you see and steer the experience before we build it.

  3. 03

    Build

    Senior engineers build in fast, AI-assisted cycles, showing working software early and often.

  4. 04

    Ship

    We deploy to managed, monitored hosting, hand over documentation, and make sure your team knows how it runs.

  5. 05

    Care

    We keep it secure, fast, and evolving — fixing, updating, and improving as your needs change.

04 / Selected work

Real products, shipped and maintained

A look at what we have built across education, healthcare, and research — including the AI features running inside them. We name clients only with permission.

Education Live

Eduscenario

An AI role-play platform for education. Students practise real-world conversations with intelligent chatbots built for specific learning objectives, in a safe, low-risk environment — while educators review every conversation, track completion, and see where learners struggle. Each institution runs its own courses and content, and can be live in under an hour.

Practise real-world conversations, safely. Read the case study Eduscenario
Healthcare Live

Sonus Medic

An AI documentation platform for Dutch clinicians — occupational-health physicians and physiotherapists. It records the consultation, transcribes it, and auto-fills your clinic's own forms and Word reports straight into the patient record. The clinician reviews and corrects before saving, so each appointment becomes a finished, EHR-linked file — with far less admin, and AVG/GDPR-proof handling throughout.

From appointment to finished record. Read the case study Sonus Medic
Research Live

FieldNotes

AI-assisted qualitative coding software for researchers. It applies your own codebook across interview transcripts — the AI proposes codes, you approve, merge, or reject each one — with full audit trails, saturation tracking, and one-click export.

Human-in-the-loop AI on GDPR-compliant EU hosting. Read the case study FieldNotes

AI, shipped in production

Transcription & enrichment

For a document-heavy archive, a pipeline ingests raw scans and records, transcribes them, enriches each with structured metadata via LLM prompts, and writes the validated results back into the client's system of record — turning shelves of unsearchable material into clean, queryable data.

Internal knowledge assistant

A retrieval assistant that lets staff ask plain-language questions across thousands of internal documents and get cited, access-aware answers — cutting time spent hunting through folders and inboxes.

Intake triage & classification

An automation that reads incoming records, classifies and prioritizes them, and pre-fills the next step — so the team reviews and approves instead of typing everything by hand.

05 / Why Unpinned

Unpinned from slow agencies and bloated budgets

Fast by default

Modern tooling and AI-assisted development get you from idea to live in weeks, not quarters — without cutting corners on quality.

A fraction of the cost

No account managers, no junior padding, no agency overhead. You pay for senior engineering and the software it produces.

The whole lifecycle

Design, build, host, maintain, and support under one roof. One team owns the outcome instead of pointing fingers.

Senior plus AI-assisted

Experienced engineers who use AI to move faster and apply judgment to where AI fits — and where it does not.

06 / Pricing & engagement

Transparent starting prices

Most studios hide their numbers. We don't. Every project is scoped and quoted after a short conversation, but here is where things start — so you can see, up front, that senior work costs a fraction of what a traditional agency would charge.

Unpinned vs a traditional agency

How working with Unpinned compares to a traditional software agency
  Unpinned Traditional agency
Who builds it Senior engineers only — the people who scope it build it Sold by seniors, delivered by juniors learning on your budget
Time to live Weeks — working software early and often Months to quarters, big reveal at the end
What you pay for Engineering and the software it produces A 30–45% overhead of account and project managers
Code & IP Yours, with docs and access — no lock-in Often tangled in retainers and proprietary platforms
Who you talk to The engineer building your product An account manager relaying messages
After launch Same team hosts, maintains, and keeps improving it Hand-off to a support desk that never built it

07 / FAQ

Questions buyers ask us

We build custom software — web and mobile apps, internal tools, dashboards, and automations — with AI integrated where it genuinely helps. If it runs in a browser, on a phone, or behind your operations, we can design, build, and maintain it.

Every project is scoped and quoted after a short conversation, but our starting points are transparent: an MVP sprint from €2,500, a full production build from €7,500, and ongoing care and support from €99 per month. You get senior work for a fraction of what a traditional agency charges.

Most MVPs and focused tools go live in weeks, not months. We work in short, AI-assisted cycles and show working software early, so you see progress continuously instead of waiting for one big reveal at the end.

Agencies bill for layers — account managers, project managers, and junior teams learning on your budget. We are a small senior studio that uses modern tooling and AI to move faster, so you pay for engineering and the software it produces, typically at a fraction of agency cost.

Yes — where it earns its place. We integrate AI into the software we build: assistants wired into your data, document search and retrieval with citations, and pipelines that classify, summarize, and structure information. It is always in service of the product, with the guardrails and oversight to keep it reliable.

You do. You own the code, the design, and the IP. We hand over documentation and access so you are never locked in, whether you stay with us for support or take it in-house later.

Yes. We offer managed hosting, monitoring, backups, security updates, and ongoing improvements. You can hand us the whole lifecycle, or just the build — your call.

We favor proven, modern tools and choose per project rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all stack. Typically that means a TypeScript and modern web foundation, containerized deployments, and best-in-class LLM and data tooling for AI work.
