Looking for a lightweight Monero wallet. Needs to be non-custodial and not require full sync. Like Electrum for BTC, you know?
Recommendations for Lightweight Monero Wallets

Sync time depends on the "Restore Height" you pick. If you're restoring an old wallet, it might take hours. New wallets should sync pretty quick, just a few minutes.
It's more than just that. Your device matters too. I switched to a stronger PC and syncing was way faster than my old laptop. Mobile wallets like Monerujo also take time. Don't run other apps while syncing.
Anyone know if there's a super lightweight Monero client? Something like Electrum that keeps my private keys safe?
The ones you mentioned are about as light as it gets. Feather, for example, is like Electrum for Monero. But I can't really say how long it'll take to sync without knowing your device specs.
How long does syncing take with Feather?
Have you even tried it since your original post months ago? You edited to say the answer's already been given. My first reply covers lightweight clients like Feather. More blocks mean longer sync times. Monero's sync speed can't match Electrum's.
I thought Monero's devs improved sync speed. I expected it to be faster now. Alright, got my answer. Closing this.
