Ringtones
Ringtones is a macOS utility for creating and managing custom ringtones for iPhones and other Apple devices. It simplifies the process of converting audio files (from music libraries, downloads, or recordings) into ringtone format, editing their length to fit Apple's constraints, and transferring them to iOS devices via a graphical interface. Users typically import songs or audio snippets, trim them to the required 30-second maximum, and preview the result before syncing to their phone. The app targets anyone who wants to personalise their iPhone's ringtone without navigating iTunes' or Music app's more complex export workflows.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build of Ringtones exists — the available search results do not mention the app's architecture status, and the developer's current website or recent release notes are not accessible in our search. Given that we are in May 2026, there remains meaningful time before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in September 2028. If you rely on Ringtones for creating ringtones, contact the developer at The Little App Factory directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned or already available. In the meantime, be aware that if the app is still Intel-only when you eventually upgrade to macOS 28, it will no longer launch. As a lower-tech alternative that requires no third-party app, Apple's built-in Music app (or iTunes on older Macs) supports ringtone creation directly — the process involves converting an audio file to .m4r format and transferring it via Finder when connected to an iOS device, though it is more manual than using a dedicated utility.
