Today
V1 was the first Gyroscope app for iPhone: Apple Health data, time online, places and workouts in one dashboard, with a card for each part of your day that turned green when it was on track.
Friends
The key decision was React Native, which later let the same code ship on Android in December 2017. Over two years V1 added friends and groups, sleep detection, nutrition and DNA, and by the end of 2017 Gyroscope had passed 200,000 signups.
