What to build

Useful software does not need to become a product.

The best small software solves one real problem for one person or a small group. Tarantula gives it a safe place to live.

01For a team

Team tools

Replace the spreadsheet, status meeting, or awkward SaaS workaround.

ExampleRenewal command center
02For yourself

Personal software

Tiny apps that are too specific to become products—and useful because of it.

ExampleHome maintenance desk
03To test an idea

Prototypes & pilots

Move from generated code to a secure, shareable test without a cloud migration.

ExampleNew onboarding pilot
04To run an agent

Operational agents

Durable agents with tools, schedules, budgets, approvals, and an interface.

ExampleCustomer risk operator

The small-software test

Use Tarantula when the app is small but deployment, sharing, permissions, or recurring work are not.

Good fit

One person or a small team needs it

The workflow is specific to how you work

It needs a real UI, data, permissions, or recurring jobs

An agent can build and maintain it

Probably use something else

A spreadsheet already works well

A single automation step solves it

You are building hyperscale infrastructure

The app needs bespoke infrastructure, strict multi-region controls, or consumer-scale traffic
