Make your iPhone sound like you. CrispTone turns your own music, videos and recordings into ringtones — right on your phone, no computer needed. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a source: an audio file from Files (MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC and more), a video from your Photos library or Files (we extract the sound), or record something with the microphone. 2. Trim the best part on a real waveform: drag the markers, pinch to zoom, fine-tune with 0.1-second precision. Preview your fragment on loop while you edit. 3. Add polish: smooth fade in and fade out, one-tap volume boost for quiet recordings. 4. Install: on iOS 26 tap “Set as Ringtone” and choose “Use as Ringtone” in the standard share menu — that's it. On older iOS versions the app guides you step by step through the free GarageBand flow. WHY CRISPTONE • Works fully offline. Your files never leave your iPhone — no accounts, no analytics, no tracking. • Honest about the process: iOS doesn't let apps set ringtones silently, so we make the official way as fast as possible and never promise magic. • Precise editor with waveform, zoom and 0.1 s accuracy. • Ringtone library: rename, search, sort, favorites, share. • Bonus: bright contact avatars you can download and set for your favorite people. • Localized in 10 languages. Full dark mode and VoiceOver support. CRISPTONE PRO The core app is free: make ringtones from audio files and microphone recordings. CrispTone Pro unlocks video import — extract the soundtrack from videos in your Photos library or Files. • Weekly: 3-day free trial, then $7.99 per week • Yearly: $29.99 per year Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions.
