Harmony Desktop
Harmony Desktop is Logitech's app for programming and controlling Harmony remote controls. It lets users customize buttons, create macros, set up activities (like "Watch TV" or "Movie Night" that trigger multiple devices at once), and manage their Harmony remote's configuration from their Mac. The app connects to Logitech's cloud service to sync settings and access a database of device codes for thousands of home entertainment devices. It is used by people who own Logitech Harmony remotes and want to configure them without using the web interface.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionHarmony Desktop has been discontinued by Logitech and is no longer actively developed. The latest version (1.0.303) is Intel-only and relies on Rosetta 2 to run on Apple Silicon Macs. While it currently works under Rosetta 2, Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point this app will stop launching entirely. Forum reports from March 2025 confirm that version 1.0.303 continues to function on modern Macs today, but there is no native Apple Silicon build and Logitech has shown no signs of shipping one. If you rely on Harmony Desktop to program your remote, begin transitioning to Logitech's web-based Harmony control interface (at myharmony.com) or to the mobile Logitech Harmony app as soon as possible. The web interface provides most of the same programming features and will remain compatible with your remote regardless of your Mac's architecture. Consider whether your remotes will continue to be supported by Logitech's cloud service after the app is discontinued, since older Harmony models are no longer receiving updates.
