Make the ringtone you actually want, in a few minutes, on your iPhone alone. Pick a song, a video, a voice memo or a built-in effect, cut out the part you love, shape it until it sounds right, and export a file your iPhone can use. No computer, no cables, no account. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your sound. Import from Files, pull the audio out of a video in Photos, record through the microphone, or choose a built-in effect. 2. Cut it down. Drag the ends of the clip on the timeline until you have the hook, then split, move, fade, or rebalance it. 3. Export. Save a ringtone-ready M4A, then follow the guided steps to finish setup with GarageBand. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Import audio files from Files. - Extract audio from videos selected from Photos. - Record voice or live sound with the microphone. - Edit on a visual timeline with trim, move, split, volume, fade, and speed controls. - Shape your sound with a 10-band graphic equalizer, including genre presets like Rock, Pop, Bass Boost, and Vocal. - Layer music, voice, and effects on separate tracks. - Browse built-in sound effects for notifications, alarms, transitions, game sounds, office cues, and ambient tones. - Export ringtone-ready M4A files, and a high-quality preview file with Pro. - Follow guided steps to finish ringtone setup with GarageBand on iPhone. - Organize exported ringtones by category. - Keep projects on your device, with iCloud workspace support when available.
