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. Website: https://wristtale.com/en 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).
