inReach Sync
inReach Sync is a companion utility for Garmin's inReach GPS communication devices (such as the inReach Mini, inReach Explorer, and inReach Messenger). It manages device synchronization, firmware updates, waypoint and track management, message history, and configuration of location-sharing settings and emergency SOS contacts. The app is used by outdoor enthusiasts, adventurers, backcountry professionals and emergency responders who rely on inReach devices for satellite communication and tracking in remote areas without cellular coverage. inReach Sync acts as the primary desktop management interface for inReach hardware on macOS.

1 suggestionWe could not confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build of inReach Sync exists, and there are no public release notes or vendor documentation available to verify. Garmin does maintain inReach Sync actively as part of their Outdoor ecosystem, but the app's architecture status is unclear from publicly available information. Contact Garmin Support directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned, and specifically mention the macOS 28 deadline in September 2028 — that is when Apple removes Rosetta 2 entirely, and any Intel-only build will stop launching. In the meantime, inReach Sync continues to run under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs, so there is no immediate urgency. If you use inReach Sync frequently or depend on it for critical updates before September 2028, reaching out to Garmin now will help ensure you have a migration path when the deadline approaches.
