The phone app is almost here.
We're waiting on the app stores to say yes. Until they do, here's a workaround that's honestly pretty good: pin xchnge to your home screen and it opens right up, like an app.
❯ xchnge --mobile
… app store// waiting on apple's review team. any day now.
… google play// google is also thinking about it.
✓ workaround// three taps, zero waiting. see below.
❯
// three steps
Three taps. No app store.
Do this once on your iPhone and xchnge gets its own icon, right on your home screen.

❯ tap "add to home screen"
✓ Scroll the menu, tap Add to Home Screen, then tap Add.
// xchnge now sits next to your real apps. nobody has to know.
