Does Google Analytics have desktop software?

Google Analytics is also for other environments via their (new) measurement protocol. It can be used for desktop, mobile, and servers.

Can Google Analytics be used for apps?

Use Tag Manager with Google Analytics and Firebase. To get the latest mobile app report features in Google Analytics, use Firebase in your Android and iOS apps. Once enabled in your app, Google Analytics will automatically collect and report on built-in events and user properties.

I've just downloaded "Garlic" and tried the sample app and it works a treat!

I think one missing here is Gappalytics for code/UI event tracking, it is a very simple library which unlocks you a full potential of Google analytics.

It works better than mentioned before lib's because it can persist uniqueness of a user this way your data will not be skewed.
