## What is Wristrax?

** Requires a Plex Media Server and a Plex account. Wristrax displays music from your own Plex library; no content is provided by the app. **

Plex and Plexamp are great. But what if you want to have your music on your Apple Watch? At the gym or while running, carrying your phone just to listen to music is not great. Wristrax finally brings offline playback to your Plex library. Browse artists, albums and playlists, download tracks to your phone, and transfer them to your Apple Watch. Here, you can browse your tracks and play them, for example with connected AirPods. Supports the Play Now widget. Files can be transcoded server-side for saving pace, or transferred as is.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-04

Better Plex connection handling:

• Reconnecting to your Plex server when moving between networks now works reliably.
• The server picker shows the connection type (Local, Remote, or Relay) instead of a raw address.
• Annual subscribers no longer briefly see the unlock screen on launch.

Thanks for using Wristrax.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-05-22

Fixed: app could freeze or crash when opening the Playlists tab if you had a playlist that was only partially downloaded. Playlists tab is now responsive even with large or partially-synced playlists.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-19

Fixed: music library failed to load for some users when their Plex server returned a single artist or album record with malformed metadata. The app now skips invalid records and loads the rest of the library.
