Most apps are bloated. The average iPhone app is 40-80 MB. Some are over 500 MB. For what?
If you’re trying to keep your phone minimal and intentional, here are apps that prove less is more:
BubbleText Keyboard — 1.4 MB
BubbleText Keyboard lets you type in creative bubble font styles. That’s it. No bloat, no ads, no tracking, no 47 features you’ll never use. Just one delightful thing done well.
Compare that to popular keyboard apps that weigh 100+ MB and bombard you with ads. Minimalism isn’t about having less — it’s about having only what adds value.
Why Size Matters
- Smaller apps load faster
- Less storage consumed = fewer “storage full” warnings
- Fewer permissions = better privacy
- Simple apps are more reliable
Your phone should serve you, not the other way around. Start with the apps that respect your time and space.
