How it works

Three taps from phone to wrist.

No accounts to wrangle, no cables, no cloud round-trip. Add a document on your iPhone and it's on your Watch before you stand up.

1

Add a document

Import a PDF, Word, Excel or text file on your iPhone — from Files, Photos, the camera, or a quick note.

2

Send to Watch

One tap on “Send to Watch.” WristFile optimises the layout for the small screen and syncs it across in seconds.

3

Read anywhere

Open it on your wrist — on a run, on the train, in a meeting. It stays there, offline, until you remove it.

Features

Built for the documents real life throws at you.

Four formats, one reader

PDF, DOCX, XLSX and TXT all open in the same clean reader — no converting, no juggling apps. Tables, equations and code stay intact.

Made for the Watch screen

Pages reflow and zoom for a tiny display, with the Digital Crown to scroll. Dense documents stay readable, not shrunk into oblivion.

Fast, local sync

Files travel directly from iPhone to Watch over the Apple connection you already have. Most documents land in just a few seconds.

Yours, and only yours

Documents live on your devices. Nothing is uploaded to a server to be read — what you carry stays with you.

Real documents, real small

A periodic table on a watch. Yes, really.

The hard part isn't sending a file — it's making a dense, real-world document legible on a 40-millimetre screen. WristFile lays out equations, tables, contracts and code so they actually read on your wrist.

Works offline

Leave the phone behind.

Once a document is on your Watch, it stays there — no signal, no Wi-Fi, no phone in your pocket required.

  • Read on a run with no phone on you
  • Notes and references in airplane mode
  • Nothing streams, so nothing buffers

On your wrist, offline. Your documents wait for you — not for a connection.

Questions

Good to know.

PDF, Microsoft Word (DOCX), Microsoft Excel (XLSX) and plain text (TXT). You can add them from Files, Photos, the camera, or by jotting a quick note in the app.

Only to send a document the first time. Once it's on your Watch it stays there and opens fully offline — no phone, Wi-Fi or signal needed.

WristFile reflows and zooms each page for the small display, and the Digital Crown scrolls smoothly. Dense material — equations, tables, code — is laid out to stay legible rather than simply shrunk.

On your own devices. Documents aren't uploaded to a server to be read, so what you carry stays with you.

WristFile is a native iPhone and Apple Watch app. Add documents on your iPhone and read them on a paired Apple Watch.

About us

A reader for people who read on the move.

Professionals, students and researchers carry documents everywhere — and rarely at a desk. WristFile started from a simple question: what if the reference you need was already on your wrist? Quiet, fast, and out of your way.
