Features
Everything a ringtone needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
Ringsy does one thing, fast: from the sound you pick to a ringtone on your iPhone in under a minute.
Trim to the perfect 30 s
Drag the handles on the waveform, zoom in for precision, nudge by a tenth of a second and tap to hear the loop. Undo and Redo any change.
Fade & even out volume
Fade in, fade out, and level the loudness — a quiet memo rings loud and a loud song never distorts.
Set it in one tap
On iOS 26, tap “Set as ringtone” and choose “Use as Ringtone”. Earlier iOS versions get a step-by-step GarageBand guide.
From any video
Pull the sound out of any video in your Photos — a baby’s laugh, a moment from a trip.
Record your own
Your voice, your kid, your dog — record up to 60 seconds, then trim the best part.
Built-in original sounds
A pack of ringtones and alerts made for Ringsy, free to use and yours to edit.
Text tones & alerts
Use any tone for messages, reminders and mail — or for one person in your contacts.
Hear it as a call
Before you set it, hear your tone ring full screen the way a call would — with a caller name you can change.
Sounds for any moment
Play a Ringsy sound when the charger connects or disconnects, an app opens or you arrive somewhere — through a Shortcuts automation Ringsy walks you through.
“Record a ringtone” with Siri
Say “Record a ringtone in Ringsy” and it opens ready to record. Also in Spotlight and the Shortcuts app.
Pay once
Your first two ringtones are free, then $2.99 unlocks Ringsy for good. No weekly fee, nothing to cancel.
Private
No account, and your sounds are never uploaded: they are opened, cut and saved on this iPhone.
Three steps, under a minute
No computer, and no GarageBand on iOS 26.
- 01
Pick a sound
An audio file from Files (mp3, m4a, wav…), a video from Photos, a fresh recording, or one of Ringsy’s built-in sounds.
- 02
Trim and polish
Choose up to 30 seconds, hear the loop, add a fade and even out the volume. Give it a name.
- 03
Set as ringtone
Tap “Save & set as ringtone”, then “Use as Ringtone” in the share sheet. Done.
Inside the app
Not a mockup — the real app
Every screen below was captured from the running app, with demo sounds we generated ourselves.
02/Hear it as a call
Hear it ring before you set it
Tap the phone button in the editor and your tone rings full screen, looping, the way a call would. Change the caller name to picture who it’s for.
- Silence or ring again, as often as you like
- The caller name is only for the preview — never saved
- Set it as your ringtone right from here
03/Editing
Try anything — Undo is one tap away
Every change can be undone and redone from the editor’s header. Add a fade in and out, and let Ringsy level the loudness for you.
- Undo / Redo, up to 50 steps
- Fade in / out: off, 0.5, 1 or 2 s
- Even out volume, on by default
04/Set it
One tap to your ringtone
On iOS 26 the share sheet has “Use as Ringtone” built in. Ringsy tells you exactly where to tap.
- No computer needed
- iOS 17–18: GarageBand guide and an .m4r file
- Save to Files or share anywhere
05/Sounds for moments
Your sound when you plug in
iOS doesn’t let any app replace the iPhone’s own charging sound. Ringsy does it the way iOS allows: a Shortcuts automation that plays your sound — and shows you how to add it, step by step.
- Charger connected or disconnected, an app opens, arriving somewhere…
- A free built-in sound, or one of your own tones
- Plays even with Ringsy closed
06/From video
A video’s sound, as a ringtone
Pick a video from Photos and Ringsy pulls out its soundtrack, ready to trim like any song.
- Your original video is untouched
- Short sounds can repeat to fill 30 s
- Processed entirely on your iPhone
07/Record
Record a ringtone of your own
Say something, sing, or hold your iPhone up to a sound. Record up to 60 seconds, then trim it right away.
- The microphone is on only while you record
- Recordings stay on your iPhone
08/Built-in sounds
Original tones, free to use
Six ringtones and four alerts made by Ringsy — no licensing to worry about, and yours to edit.
- Marimba Morning, Glass Chime, Raindrops…
- Short alerts for messages and notifications
Privacy
Your sounds stay on your iPhone.
Ringsy has no server to send your sounds to. Songs, videos and recordings are opened, cut and saved right on your iPhone — there is no upload step at all. The only usage data sent is anonymous statistics, which you can turn off in Settings.
Processed on device
Decoding, trimming, fades, loudness and the final ringtone file all happen on your iPhone.
Sounds never uploaded
Your songs, videos and recordings are never sent to any server.
No account
No sign-up, no email, no password.
No ads, no tracking
No ads, no IDFA, no tracking across apps. Anonymous usage statistics help improve Ringsy — and you can turn them off.
Pay once. No weekly fee.
Most ringtone apps lock everything behind a weekly subscription. Ringsy works the moment you open it, and one small payment unlocks it for good.

Frequently asked questions
Is there really no subscription?
Really. Ringsy sells exactly one thing: Ringsy Unlimited, $2.99, bought once. Your first two ringtones are free, and editing and preview are always free.
How do I set it as my ringtone?
On iOS 26: tap “Set as ringtone”, then choose “Use as Ringtone” in the share sheet (you may need to scroll the row of actions). On iOS 17–18, Ringsy walks you through Apple’s free GarageBand app step by step, and also gives you an .m4r file you can drag onto your iPhone in Finder on a Mac.
Why is a ringtone limited to 30 seconds?
iPhone only accepts ringtones shorter than 30 seconds, so Ringsy caps a selection at 29.9 s. A short sound can repeat to fill the 30 seconds.
Can I use songs from Apple Music?
No. Apple Music songs and iTunes purchases are copy-protected (DRM), so no app can export them. Use an audio file from Files, the sound of a video, a recording or one of Ringsy’s built-in sounds.
Can I use it as a text tone?
Yes. Set it as a ringtone first (that adds it to your iPhone’s sounds), then open Settings › Sounds & Haptics › Text Tone and pick it at the top of the list.
Can Ringsy change my iPhone’s charging sound?
Not the system sound itself — iOS lets no app replace it. What Ringsy can do is play a sound you pick when the charger connects (or disconnects, and other moments) through a Shortcuts personal automation. Ringsy walks you through setting it up once; after that it plays even with Ringsy closed. Built-in short sounds are free; one of your own tones counts as an export.
Does Ringsy upload my sounds?
No. Your sounds are opened, cut and saved on your iPhone and never leave it. What does leave the device is purchase data, so the app knows whether you have unlocked it, and anonymous usage statistics (which you can turn off in Settings) — see the Privacy Policy.
Which iPhone and iOS do I need?
iOS 17 or later. The one-tap “Use as Ringtone” action arrived in iOS 26; on earlier versions Ringsy uses the GarageBand route.
Now on iPhone.
