I'm Josh Brown, one of the guys behind Softorino. On July 18, 2021, The Guardianpublished news about a leakthat contains a list of more than 50,000 iPhones that have been infected with NSO's Pegasus spyware. Pegasus is a spyware tool that's being used to target journalists and other high-profile people. All of the headlines surrounding Pegasus have people wondering if their iPhones could have it installed without their knowledge.
For almost a decade, Softorino has been developing iOS management software, so we invested our time to create a free app called Zeus (named after a greek god who defeated Pegasus with his lightning bolt). Zeus App is a standalone secure application (now for Windows only) that lets you scan your iPhone for signs of NSO's Pegasus spyware presence.

While it's highly unlikely that most people need to worry about someone installing Pegasus on their iPhone, it never hurts to have that added peace of mind. Besides, other methods of checking whether you have Pegasus installed are not user-friendly, and Zeus App solves this.
