WristTale is a smartwatch reader for both Garmin and Apple Watch. Import local TXT / Markdown ebooks on your phone, let the app turn them into a format your watch can read, and sync them to your wrist — running, hiking or commuting, offline the whole time. Website: https://wristtale.com Why WristTale? A phone library rarely reads well on a watch. WristTale parses, splits and lays out your books on the phone, so the watch gets a version you can actually page through — and your reading position stays on your wrist. There are times when you cannot reach for your phone: the hours at a desk on duty, the platform and the concourse, one commute after another. So let your watch become a book — let that small light on your wrist turn the page for you, and keep you company through one stretch of time after another. May you wander freely in a world of literature, right there on your wrist. Library - Import TXT / Markdown novels straight from your phone's files. - Chapters are detected automatically and can be split or edited by hand. - One library serves both Garmin and Apple Watch, so nothing is imported twice. Garmin watches - Sync prepared books over Bluetooth to the WristTale app from the Connect IQ store (https://apps.garmin.com/apps/46b0b8a9-15c2-49a4-83ac-51f9e694111d). - Detect paired Garmin devices automatically and switch between watches freely. - Tune the transfer chunk size and chapters per sync for your watch and connection. - Follow parsing and transfer progress in real time. Apple Watch - Send a whole book or selected chapters to Apple Watch and read offline, with no network needed. - The contents list shows each chapter's progress; bookmarks jump back instantly. - Font size, line spacing, paper background and text dimming are adjustable. Reading hides the clock, and one tap reveals Library, Contents, Auto-scroll and more. - Auto-scroll offers page-by-page paging (1–60 seconds) and continuous scrolling, and the Digital Crown takes over immediately. Auto-scroll needs watchOS 11 or later. - Transfer progress reflects real bytes, and a book is marked done only after the watch confirms it saved. Requirements - Garmin: install the WristTale watch app from the Connect IQ store, and have Garmin Connect Mobile installed and paired. - Apple Watch: install the iPhone app first, then send books from inside it. The watch app ships with the iPhone version, and reading requires the iPhone and watch to stay paired. About Pro - Your first sync is free; further syncing needs WristTale Pro (monthly, yearly or lifetime).
