Give your phone a sound of your own: make it yourself, pick one from the Official collection or find one shared by the Community. Community: browse ringtones shared by other creators, search, filter by category and switch between Popular and New. Listening to previews and sharing your own creations need no subscription and no sign-in. A person reviews every upload before it appears, and you can report a ringtone or block a creator at any time. Unpublish or delete your uploads, or delete your community account, in the app's Settings. Adding someone else's ringtone to your library requires Premium. Official collection: more than 100 original ringtones and alert tones in eleven categories, from classic, piano and the new Classic Remixes to calm, cinematic and short alerts. Preview every tone; at least four in each category are included for everyone, and the rest come with Premium. They are part of the app and work offline. Create: import audio from Files, extract sound from a Photos video or record with the microphone. Copy-protected content cannot be edited. Trim precisely on an interactive waveform, scrub, loop the preview, add fades and adjust volume. Save, favorite, rename, share and edit your creations again. Editing and your library stay on your device unless you choose to share to the Community. Export AAC audio or a ringtone file. Follow the illustrated guide using available iOS share options or GarageBand, then check your ringtone in Settings. Installation requires your action; the app cannot set a ringtone automatically. Optional Premium subscriptions unlock the Premium Official tones and adding Community ringtones to your library; ringtones you have added stay in your library. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled in App Store settings; you can restore eligible existing purchases.

About

Narratives

Read full description

Thoughts do not arrive in order. Narratives helps you bring them together. Write a few messages or dictate a voice note: an idea, a plan, details you do not want to forget, or a question you are still working through. Talk it over at your own pace. After the conversation, Narratives organizes the material into a card with the main idea, useful details, decisions, and questions that remain open. FROM SCATTERED THOUGHTS TO A USEFUL NOTE • Capture thoughts by text, voice, or photo. • Return to the original messages whenever you need context. • Edit the card to make it your own. • Preview and share just the card as text or images. Long image exports use multiple pages. • Export a full dialogue separately when you want to include the source conversation. SEE WHAT CONNECTS Daily summaries bring together the important topics from your conversations. Weekly summaries connect recurring themes, changes, and questions that are still open. Events and reminders, saved memories, web search, and weather are also available when useful. PRIVATE, ON YOUR IPHONE The conversational AI, voice transcription, and image analysis run on your device. Your conversations, cards, and saved memories are stored locally. No account, subscription, or in-app purchase is required. The model downloads separately on first launch; core AI features become available when setup completes. Optional online tools send the necessary request to an external service, for example for web search or weather. Sharing and backup export happen when you choose. You can review, correct, or delete saved memories in Settings. AI can make mistakes. Keep the original conversation, review important details, and edit a card before sharing it.
