Argus turns your iPhone into a sophisticated health and fitness device. Like the mythological creature that inspired its name, Argus is all-seeing. It’s able to track and monitor your daily steps, calories, routes, sleep cycles, and even your heart beat. The best part is, it utilizes the powerful M7 chip in the iPhone 5s to provide accurate results with little power consumption. But tracking stats isn’t exactly helpful without some daily goals, so make sure to go through the entire setup process before heading out today. You’re also able to enlist your friends for support, take snapshots of your food, view trends, get tips and tricks, and even view a daily forecast. Seriously, there’s nothing Argus can’t do.
