TomTom Sports Connect
TomTom Sports Connect is a Mac desktop app for connecting compatible TomTom sports devices to a computer for setup, syncing, and software updates.
What is TomTom Sports Connect?
TomTom Sports Connect is a desktop companion app for TomTom sports watches and fitness trackers. On Mac, it was used to connect a compatible device by USB, register it with a MySports account, upload activity data, and install device software updates. It fit a simple workflow for users who managed training data and device setup from a computer instead of only from a phone. The app also exposed maintenance functions such as restoring software during a reset process for supported devices. TomTom later ended support for the TomTom Sports platform and discontinued the Sports Connect desktop application, so its online syncing and service-dependent features are no longer part of an active ecosystem.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a legitimate TomTom desktop utility for sports devices, but it belongs to a discontinued product line. USB access, internet access, and background launching behavior are consistent with device syncing and updates. The main concern is usefulness rather than malware risk: service shutdown means account syncing, online features, and update delivery may no longer work as expected. If you still keep an older TomTom sports device, confirm that the app you have is signed by TomTom and avoid granting extra permissions beyond what is needed to connect the device.
Recommendation: Keep it only if you still use a compatible TomTom sports watch or tracker and need local device connection features. If you no longer use that hardware, removing the app can reduce clutter without affecting the rest of macOS.
