The web version is free to use and open source. It is developed as a static PWA, has zero dependancies and is completly independant to run. Everything happens in your Browser and stays in there. It uses Web Bluetooth, Web Serial, Web Components, IndexDB, Local Storage, WakeLock API.
Status: Currently working on creating a backend API and iOS app.

TL;DR: Use Google Chrome on Android, Windows 10, Mac (M1 or Intel) and Ubuntu, but not iOS or Apple TV.
The Web version is running directly in the browser and relies on some of the latest web technologies. Browsers like Firefox and Safari don't have support for them. On iOS Safari is the only allowed browser, and even Chrome for iOS is just Safari with a Chrome skin. Browser support for the web version is the following:
| Chrome | Edge | Opera | Chrome Android | Samsung Internet | Firefox | Safari | Safari iOS | Chrome iOS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | no | no | no | no |
On Chrome, Edge and Opera for Linux you might need to turn on the experimental platforms feature flag at
-
Chrome:
chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features -
Edge:
edge://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features -
Opera:
opera://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features
For iOS you can try WebBLE which is:
Very simple web browser that supports an initial subset of the web bluetooth.
It is not tested or supported by this project, but you can give it try if your only option is iOS.
Works with all trainers that implement the bluetooth Fitness Machine Service (FTMS) or the Tacx FE-C over BLE solution.
The following table is copied from DC Rainmaker Trainer Guide and shows current protocol support across the industry.

Support for ANT+ is experimental at the moment. It is being rewritten right now and the code is moved to WebANT, which has a separate demo. When it becomes stable enough will be merged here. It currently has support for Ubuntu(Linux), and partially for MacOS, and Android. Windows 10 may be possible in the future.
The current development setup is using Suunto movestick mini, Garmin Fenix 5 watch broadcasting heart rate, Tacx Heart Rate monitor, Tacx Flux S trainer, and X240 laptop with Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS, M1 Mac, and Samsung S9 Android phone.
You can check a pre-release demo of the web version at Latest Version on master, or Latest development vesion
Keep in mind it is in active development and will change and break on daily bases, that's until the first stable version is released.
While Flux is free software and will always be, the project would benefit immensely from some funding. Raising a monthly budget we help cover the development and runnig costs for servers, databases, domains, storage, and others.
You can support the development of Flux via Github Sponsers.
