What it does

Tones is the calmest way to talk to the people you love. Open a chat → unheard voice notes play automatically. Tap once to record, tap again to send. That’s the whole app. No feeds. No likes. No read receipts. No public profiles. No algorithm deciding what you hear. Just voice — the part of conversation that text strips out: laughter, sarcasm, “I miss you.” Built solo. Free. iOS.
