Not quite, but if we find a use for it we might include one 🙂  
Jokes aside, the package size is something that is not trivial: the framework we use for the application itself, `electron`, is pretty heavy on its own and while it’s in our plans to see what can be done to shrink the package a bit, there’s nothing quick that can be done about it, so it is what it is for now unfortunately. The app itself is pretty simple as you can see, so there’s not much else to work on for heavy optimisation
