Lots of very small companies will happily do 1099 contracts without trying to control your time at all. The hard part is finding those contracts, which usually come through networking and existing clients.

You might try emailing companies offering to work as a 1099 contractor, which companies sometimes like because it means you're easier to fire and don't get benefits, etc.

Most companies want a very serious full-time commitment and will be disappointed if you don't work there for at least a few years.

Typically that's how I have been working, as a 1099 contractor. The one client I had who fit that description was a developer himself and reached a relatively feature complete point with his application and decided he no longer needed a 2nd developer. I'm not sure where to find more clients like that.
