Tacx Desktop app
Tacx Desktop is a companion application for Tacx indoor cycling trainers and smart bikes, made by Garmin. It connects to Tacx hardware to provide structured indoor cycling workouts, route simulation, power and cadence monitoring, and integration with popular cycling platforms. The app is used by cyclists training indoors who want detailed metrics, workout programs, and a virtual cycling experience on their home trainer or smart bike.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent public information about Tacx Desktop's Apple Silicon support status. Since Garmin acquired Tacx and has been consolidating its cycling software ecosystem, it is possible the app has already been updated to a native build or may have been superseded by another Garmin product. Contact Garmin's support directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build of Tacx Desktop exists or is planned. If Tacx Desktop remains Intel-only, it will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (late 2027) — you have approximately 18 months to verify the situation with the vendor and plan accordingly. If you are a regular user, consider checking whether Garmin offers an alternative native cycling app (such as Garmin Training Center or edge-linked desktop software) that might serve your needs.
