Garmin Connect
Garmin Connect is a health and fitness companion for viewing Garmin device data, tracking activities, and managing workouts and goals.
What is Garmin Connect?
Garmin Connect is a health and fitness app and web service for people who use Garmin watches, bike computers, and other connected devices. It helps users review workouts, daily activity, heart rate, steps, sleep, and other wellness data in one account. You can analyze completed activities with detailed statistics, build workouts and courses, join challenges, and share progress with friends. Garmin Connect also supports syncing with compatible services and helps with device-related setup and support tasks. On a Mac, this entry is commonly encountered as a WebCatalog wrapper for the Garmin Connect web experience rather than a full native Garmin desktop app.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is generally safe software for accessing Garmin Connect, but it can expose sensitive health, activity, and location data inside your Garmin account. Network access and saved sign-in sessions are normal for this kind of companion app. If you use it on a shared Mac, sign out when finished and review what health and fitness services are connected to your account.
Recommendation: Keep it if you use Garmin devices or regularly check Garmin Connect from your Mac. If you only use Garmin Connect on your phone or no longer use WebCatalog for it, you can remove it without affecting your Garmin account, though local app data and saved sessions on this Mac may be lost.
