Ringdroid review
A free, open-source Android recorder and ringtone editor for straightforward audio tasks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Ringdroid is an Android application for recording and editing sounds, with a specific focus on selecting portions of audio for use as ringtones. Its audience is solo Android users who want a focused way to capture audio clips, make basic edits, and turn recordings or other audio into ringtones without needing a broader desktop editor.
The product is distributed as an open-source project through Google's GitHub repository, and the app is free to use. Its core workflow is direct: record audio, edit sound recordings, select a portion, and create a ringtone from that audio. This narrow workflow suits users who value a small, purpose-built utility over a larger application with many production features. The open-source distribution also makes the source code available through the repository.
Ringdroid's platform fit is clear but limited. Deployment is mobile and support is listed for Android, so it is appropriate for people whose work stays on Android devices. The feature set centers on recording, editing, and ringtone creation rather than multitrack production, advanced mixing, or cross-platform workflows. Choose Ringdroid for simple personal recordings and ringtone preparation on Android; choose a broader audio editor if you need extensive production controls, desktop coverage, or capabilities beyond short clip editing.
