WristTale- eReader for watches

WristTale is a smartwatch reader for Apple Watch and Garmin watches. Import local TXT / Markdown ebooks into your phone, format them for watch reading, then send them to your wrist. On your commute, while waiting, or during a short break, just raise your wrist to keep reading. After books are transferred to the watch, you can read offline.

Why choose WristTale?

Ebooks on your phone often aren't suited for reading directly on a watch. WristTale handles parsing, chapter splitting, and layout on your phone, so even a small screen can clearly display text and let you flip through chapters.

There are also times when it's inconvenient to take out your phone: at a desk during a shift, on a platform or in a hall, or through commute after commute. Let that small glow on your wrist keep you company, page after page.

Library management
- Import TXT / Markdown ebooks from phone files.
- Automatically detect chapters, with manual splitting and editing when needed.
- Preview text and choose which chapters to send.

Garmin watches
- Send processed books to the Connect IQ WristTale watch app via Bluetooth.
- Automatically detect paired Garmin devices and choose which watch should receive books.
- Adjust transfer chunk size and the number of chapters sent each time to suit different devices and connection conditions.
- View parsing and transfer progress, and read offline on the watch.

Apple Watch
- Send a whole book or selected chapters for offline reading.
- The table of contents shows reading progress for each chapter and supports jumping back via bookmarks.
- Adjust font size, line spacing, reading themes, and text brightness.
- Auto-paging supports page-by-page turning and continuous scrolling, provides a countdown prompt, and can be taken over by touch or turning the Digital Crown; auto-paging requires watchOS 11 or later.
- Supports Live Activities for transfers, so you can view book transfer progress on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island on compatible iPhones.
- A transfer is marked complete only after the watch confirms it has saved the book—"sent" is not treated as "saved."

Before you start
- Garmin watches: Install the WristTale watch app from the Connect IQ store first, and install Garmin Connect Mobile on your phone and complete pairing.
- Apple Watch: The watch app is provided with the iPhone version. Install and open the watch app first, then send books from your phone; iPhone and watch must remain paired.

About Pro
- The first sync is free; later syncs require WristTale Pro (monthly / yearly / lifetime).
