Hey,
my phone plan (free plan) allows surfing the web for free but with very slow speeds between 32 kbps and 64 kbps. Safari would not load pages and just display website is not reachable due to a timeout. So, I came up with the idea to build a frugal text browser with some nice features that works with my phone plan.
I can disable loading images, media or web fonts. I can set an ad blocking DNS. I can even use LLMs with my slow connection. In settings you can set your own LLM base url and api key. In an emergency situation this is amazing!
I hope other people enjoy it as much as I do. It’s completely free.
The app is called Narrow32, search in App Store :)

I hate that the modern Web is almost unusable unless you have strong 4G. We used to be able to load WAP pages in a minute or two. There are so many scenarios today where I have less than ideal connection (inside buildings, in tunnels, in the country side, in long train rides…). This is a great solution for that.
