Read your own books on Apple Watch, page by page. Bring an EPUB or TXT, paste in your own text, or start with an illustrated classic. Your place follows you.
Wrist Reads puts a book on your Apple Watch for the minutes in between: waiting for class, riding the train, a quiet break. Keep your phone in your pocket and your story close.
Pick an illustrated classic or bring your own book, send it from iPhone, and turn pages with the Digital Crown. Your place follows you between iPhone and Apple Watch, and once a book is on your Watch it reads without your iPhone nearby.
START WITH A STORY
Choose a public-domain classic from the built-in library, each with a cover from our own series, bring your own DRM-free EPUB or TXT book from Files on iPhone, or paste in your own text. Send it to your paired Apple Watch and start reading. On Apple Watch, choose the text size and a Paper, Sepia or Dark page. On Apple Watch models with double tap, a double tap turns the page.
MAKE A LITTLE READING PART OF YOUR DAY
Set a daily reading goal and watch your ring and streak grow. Reading on iPhone and Apple Watch both count. A few minutes a day is enough.
READ YOUR WAY ON IPHONE
Adjust EPUB text size, spacing and themes. Search inside a book, save bookmarks and highlight passages you want to revisit. You can also import and read PDFs on iPhone; PDFs stay on iPhone.
HOW FREE READING WORKS
- New to Wrist Reads: downloading, browsing, adding classics and sending books to Apple Watch are free. Read your first 10 minutes free on iPhone and your first 10 minutes free on Apple Watch, within 7 days of first opening the app. After that, keep reading with Pro. Your library and your place stay saved.
- Already using Wrist Reads? Your plan stays as it is.
- Adding classics does not use your personal import allowance; availability varies by country. Without Pro, you can add two of your own books in total (files or pasted text), at most one PDF. Deleting one does not reset that allowance.
WRIST READS PRO
Keep reading on iPhone and Apple Watch with no time limit. Import unlimited personal EPUB, TXT and PDF files. Turn on automatic Apple Watch syncing to keep your next reads ready, with an adjustable sync queue of up to ten books.
Annual and monthly Pro plans are available. Eligible subscribers can try Annual Pro free for 7 days. Apple confirms your eligibility and local price before you approve. After the trial, Annual Pro renews at the displayed annual price. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Restore Purchases is available in the app.

App seems to work fine, but you need to subscribe to upload multiple books. This micro transaction and subscription focus is what a lot of readers are trying to get away from. Would rather pay a flat fee to just own the app
Developer Response
Thanks for trying Wrist Reads. Pro is a subscription because the Watch reader and syncing keep getting work; you can cancel anytime in your App Store settings. If something would make it worth it for you, Settings > Talk to us reaches me directly. – Adam
