🔓 Unlocks FTMS on NordicTrack
NordicTrack and iFIT treadmills ship locked into the iFIT ecosystem with no built-in way to talk to third-party apps. NordicFTMS makes the treadmill advertise as a standard FTMS Bluetooth device.
NordicFTMS
A free, open-source companion app that makes a NordicTrack or iFIT treadmill advertise itself as a standard Bluetooth FTMS device — so PowerTread and other FTMS apps can read your speed and drive your incline.
Download NordicFTMS
Android .apk — installs on the treadmill's own console, not on your phone.
What it does
Your hardware, finally doing what you paid for
⛰️ Incline control, unlocked
Built especially for the incline series — X22i, Commercial 1750 / 2450 and similar models — so FTMS apps like PowerTread can drive incline directly. Zwift is also supported by emulating a Wahoo KICKR RUN over Wahoo DirCon.
🆓 Free and open source
No subscription, no account, no strings. NordicFTMS is a community-built project you can inspect, fork, or improve on GitHub.
Installation
About five minutes on the treadmill
Installing means putting the treadmill console into privileged mode with a hidden tap sequence, then downloading the app from the console's own browser. The step-by-step guide walks through the whole thing, including the six-digit code tool you will need partway through.
- Enter privileged mode from the treadmill screen using the hidden tap sequence.
- Unlock the Android desktop with the generated six-digit code.
- Open the console's browser and download NordicFTMS.
- Confirm the treadmill now appears as NordicFTMS in PowerTread.
Something not working?
If the treadmill will not enter privileged mode or does not show up after installing, the install guide covers the common snags. Anything else, email us and we will help.
