How it works

From upload to offline watch playback.

1. Upload

Bring a TXT or EPUB book

Drop in a personal book and WristListen parses chapters before any paid generation starts.

2. Preview

Check chapters, cost, and sample audio

See estimated credits, listening time, and a short sample before committing a full book.

3. Generate

Create Garmin-ready chapter audio

Audio is split by chapter, tagged for audiobook libraries, and stored for watch sync.

4. Sync

Open WristListen on your Garmin watch

Launch the WristListen app on the watch, pair once, fetch your prepared library, and download chapters for offline playback.

Garmin preview

The website prepares audio. The watch syncs it.

WristListen does not push directly to the watch. The web app generates and stores chapter audio; the Garmin app pairs to your account and pulls the prepared library.

Get the WristListen watch app from the Garmin Connect IQ store.

FAQ

Built around books, credits, and Garmin sync.

Which files work?

TXT and EPUB are supported first. DRM-protected books are not supported.

Which Garmin devices are the target?

Music-capable Garmin watches are the first target: Fenix, Epix, Forerunner Music, Venu, and similar devices.

How long does generation take?

Short samples are designed for quick checks. Full books run as background jobs and update the console as chapters complete.

Can I listen offline?

The goal is offline playback after the watch downloads generated chapters through the Garmin app.

What happens if generation fails?

Subscription credits are granted only after Stripe confirms a paid invoice. Failed generation paths return unused reserved credits to your balance.
