Light Phone is opening up LightOS with a developer program so people can build small third-party Tools for the Light Phone III. That could make minimalist phones more useful without turning them into another noisy app platform. The real test is whether Light can add flexibility while keeping the simple phone idea intact.

Transit and two-factor tools would make a big difference

A simple phone with optional extras sounds much more practical
