60 million apps keep getting pushed on us, and everyone wants their own… Every restaurant, gorcery store, etc.
Would it not be feasible to install all of those Kroger, Gas Stations, bloat, bloat, bloat apps on an app Server that we just have a remote access to them like a thin client from our phone in a singular app of shortcuts (look like a folder, directory) So all the apps stay installed and don’t use resources on the phone. Which keeps storage requirements down on the local device and means when you go into another device you can just log in and have access to all the apps already signed in and how you left them.
Does anyone know if there is already such a setup?
It wouldn’t work well with things like streaming services, but it could still cover a lot of day to day apps I don’t really want to have to have on my device.
If you have Android, you should check out Shelter or Island (Shelter is open source, but Island is in the play store). It’s not what you’re describing, but it accomplishes something similar. It essentially leverages Androids ability to create a work profile to create another isolated profile on your phone. That profile can have spoofed, useless data fed to it or even just be disabled when you’re not using it.
