On first launch, the app asks for the gateway address, profile, and token, then saves those details on the device. The current work has been tested on a real iPhone, and the Expo project also includes Android . Several phone-specific fixes are included, such as safer screen spacing, better keyboard behavior, easier sidebar navigation, larger tap targets, and list-to-detail settings screens that fit a small display.
