WristTale is a smartwatch reader for Garmin watches, Apple Watch, and Android 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. One library, three kinds of watches. No need to import twice—choose your watch and bring the books you want with you. 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. - The same library can be sent separately to Garmin watches, Apple Watch, and Android watches, with no need to import twice. - 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." Android watches - Supports compatible Android watches that can install the WristTale reader. - Receive books from the phone library via Bluetooth or the same Wi-Fi network, and read offline after transfer. - Provides a bookshelf, chapter table of contents, and reading progress to help you find what you want to read. - Supports font size adjustment, multiple reading themes, and auto-paging, making reading better suited to a small screen. 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. - Android watches: Install the WristTale watch reader first and complete the in-app connection. Compatibility and installation vary by device, and not all Android watches are supported. About Pro - The first sync is free; later syncs require WristTale Pro (monthly / yearly / lifetime).

MYContacts turns your contact details, your LinkedIn profile, or any web link into a clean, scannable QR code — created and stored entirely on your device. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Open it and go. THREE KINDS OF QR CODE - Contact card — enter as much or as little as you like (name, title, company, phones, emails, website, socials, address, note, even a photo). The code holds a standard vCard, so one scan adds you to someone's address book. - LinkedIn — paste your profile or just your handle; scanning opens your LinkedIn. - Website / link — paste any URL (a site, booking page, portfolio, PDF, or app listing); scanning opens it. MAKE IT YOURS — COLORFY Style any code without losing scannability: solid colours or gradients, square / rounded / dot modules, custom finder corners, a transparent background, and a logo or short text in the centre. Pick from ready-made templates or build your own. Error correction is always set to the highest level so styled codes still scan reliably. SAVE, SHOW, SHARE - Save codes to your on-device library (My QR Contacts) and reopen them anytime. - Show full screen with the brightness boosted, so any camera reads it instantly. - Share the QR as a PNG, share a contact card as a .vcf file, or export your full setup as a JSON config you can re-import later. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. The app makes no network calls during normal use, includes no analytics or advertising, and asks for no permissions — it doesn't even need your camera or photo library (you pick a photo through the standard iOS picker). What you create never leaves your phone unless you choose to share it. FREE No purchases, no subscriptions, no ads. MYContacts is a free utility from MapYourTech, where optical and network engineers learn, practice, and advance.
