Everything it does, with real numbers.

Ringtones

A ringtone from the best part

Pick a song or video and Tono places a 30-second window on the loudest part. Drag it, nudge the start and end by 0.1 s, play it on a loop and save an M4R. iOS doesn’t let apps set ringtones directly, so Tono walks you through the 3 steps.

Video to audio

Keep just the sound of a video

Open a video from Photos or Files — or share it to Tono from another app — and choose what to do: extract the sound as an MP3, pick another format, or make a ringtone.

Batch

Convert many files at once

Pick several files and convert them with one setting. The queue keeps going if you leave the app — follow it in the Live Activity. Batch conversion is a Pro feature.

Is Tono free?

Yes. Free: 3 conversions a day, files up to 10 minutes, MP3 and M4A up to 192 kbps, and 1 ringtone. Tono Pro (in-app subscription) removes the limits and adds lossless formats, 320 kbps, batch conversion, fades and the video tools. There are no ads in either version.

Can Tono set my ringtone directly?

No — iOS doesn’t let apps set ringtones. Tono saves an M4R and shows the 3 steps: save it to Files, import it in GarageBand and share it as a ringtone, then pick it in Settings → Sounds & Haptics. On a Mac you can also drag the file onto your iPhone in Finder.

Which formats does it support?

In: MP3, M4A / AAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, CAF, FLAC and the sound of MP4, MOV and M4V videos. Out: MP3, M4A, M4R, WAV, FLAC, AIFF and ALAC. OGG, Opus, WMA, AMR and MKV aren’t supported, and protected (DRM) files can’t be converted.

Does it upload my files?

No. All conversion happens on your iPhone. Tono has no servers for your files and no account.

Where are my converted files?

In the Library tab, and in the Files app under On My iPhone → Tono. You can rename, move or delete them there.

Can I convert a video’s sound to MP3?

Yes. Pick a video from Photos or Files and choose «Extract audio as MP3». Tono also shows the expected size before you start.
