The watcher that never sleeps.
Argus checks links, files, emails, texts and phone numbers against real threat intelligence, then tells you in plain words whether it's safe.
Move your cursor.
It's watching.
A hundred
eyes.
In the myth, Argus had a hundred eyes and never closed them all at once.
Argus the app works the same way. Whatever you give it, it looks from several sides at once: live threat lists like URLhaus, OpenPhish and Phishing.Database, a safe visit to the site, its own models trained on real scams, complaint records for phone numbers, and VirusTotal's 70+ antivirus engines for links and files. If one source is slow or down, the others still answer.
