414MB is likely due to AlterSend's encryption and security features, similar to other private messaging apps that prioritize security over size, with some apps like Signal requiring around 150-200MB.

That could be one reason.
AlterSend is also written in TypeScript (javascript varient), so the web framework technologies may be a bit heavy.
The extra code for encryption and security could be a reason...
Another could be that AlterSend is written in TypeScript (javascript) so the web framework and graphical bloat could also be a factor.
I am also not a fan of heavy apps, but this look genuinely useful.
