Fitbit Galileo is a system daemon component of the Fitbit app for macOS that runs in the background to sync data, receive notifications, and manage communication between your Fitbit wearable device and the companion app. It handles device pairing, wireless synchronization, battery monitoring, and real-time alerts. Users do not interact with this daemon directly — it is a supporting service bundled within the Fitbit desktop application.

1 suggestionGalileo is not a standalone app but a background system service that ships as part of the Fitbit macOS companion application. To ensure you have the native Apple Silicon version, you need to update the main Fitbit app itself. Open the Fitbit app on your Mac, check for updates through its menu or settings, and reinstall from the official Fitbit website if needed to get the current native build. The daemon will be automatically updated as part of the parent application — there is nothing to configure separately. If your Fitbit app is still running under Rosetta, updating it will bring Galileo to a native build as well, improving performance and battery life on Apple Silicon Macs.
