Your documents, on your wrist.

Private by design

Files go straight from your phone to your watch over the platform's own pairing channel. No server sees them, because there is no server. No analytics, no third-party SDKs, no sign-up.

Made for reading

Adjust the text size. Turn on high contrast. Light and dark follow your system. Keep the screen on while you read.

One-time payment

The free version keeps one document on your watch. Pro lifts that limit for a single payment and stays yours. It is never a subscription.

What you can read

  • Markdown, with headings, lists, tables and links.
  • Plain text, exactly as you wrote it.
  • PDF. Your phone turns the pages into sharp images, and you zoom them on the watch.

Frequently asked questions

Does it need an internet connection?

No. Once both apps are installed, your phone and watch talk over the platform's own pairing channel: Bluetooth or your local Wi-Fi. Nothing goes through the internet at any point. A document you sent this morning is still readable on a plane.

Where are my files stored?

On your phone and your watch, and nowhere else. Paperwrist has no backend and makes no network requests of its own. The privacy policy has the specifics.

Why no subscription?

A subscription makes sense when there is an ongoing cost to cover. Paperwrist has none: no servers, no accounts, no storage bill. So it is a single purchase, and it stays bought.

Does it read my whole file system?

No. Paperwrist only ever sees a file you hand it through the system document picker. It does not browse, index or scan anything, and it asks for no broad file-system permission.
