Ringtone Genius
Create and trim custom ringtones from your own music library.
Ringtone Genius is a focused ringtone maker and audio editor for iPhone. Pick a song, a video, a voice memo or a built-in effect, cut the part you love, and export a file your iPhone can use, with no computer or cables.
No account and no third-party analytics. Your audio, videos and projects stay on your device (and in your own iCloud workspace when available). The free version is supported by non-personalised ads.
Key Features
- 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: trim, move, split, delete, volume, fades, snapping and undo/redo
- Export ringtone-ready M4A files, organised by category (Ringtones, Alarm or your own)
- Set it up with guided steps: the iOS 26 “Use as Ringtone” share sheet (audio under 30 seconds), GarageBand, or Mac Finder sync (up to 40 seconds)
- Keep projects, a source Library and your exported Works, with iCloud workspace support when available
Free & Pro
- Free: the whole single-track workflow: import, record, extract, trim, split, fade, volume, M4A export and the set-up guide. Supported by ads, including an optional rewarded ad that pays for an export
- Pro (monthly, yearly or one-time lifetime): layered tracks, speed control (0.5x to 2x), a 10-band equalizer with presets (Rock, Pop, Jazz, Bass Boost, Vocal and more), a built-in sound effects library (about 120 synthesised sounds in ten categories), text to speech with iOS voices, high-quality export, and no ads
You are responsible for having the rights to any audio or video you import. Streaming and DRM-protected music cannot be imported. Apple does not let apps install ringtones directly, so the final step uses iOS, GarageBand or a Mac.
