All my favorite apps on the app store are ancient. Maybe 5mb. You just don’t see stuff like that anymore. I wish filters were more powerful and you could sort by size on app store. That is the strongest signal for unix like software quality on the app store imo: does exactly what it does and nothing more sort of apps that seem to be a dead breed today in a world of 350mb safari wrappers.

What are some apps that fit this criterion that you use regularly and some that you wish existed. Would you pay for these apps?

I use this golf gps app SimpleGolfGps. Uses the native apple maps gps and allows me to tap around and get yardages. Comparable apps are absolutely bloated in the few hundred mb range sometimes. This one is 527 kb (!!!) and barely sips battery while out on the course. I’d pay a one time fee for it but no subscription.
