For artists

Why these tools exist

Studios do not need more software.
They need fewer small frictions.

A clean invoice.
A better photo.
A timer that makes sense.
A mirror check before repainting the whole canvas.
A pigment recipe that can be repeated.

Nice Software builds tools for those moments.

Nice Software is a small independent app studio in Oslo, founded by visual artist Georg Óskar.

Every app starts with a real problem I encountered in the studio — creating invoices, checking paintings, documenting artwork, tracking studio hours, mixing materials, or simply staying organized.

No giant platform. Just thoughtful, focused apps that do their job well.
