FoxyRing

FoxyRing is an application for your Android phone that manages your ringtones, in order to make it smarter than before.

Main Concept

Have your phone analyze from time to time the ambient noise and adjust the ringer volume. It works pretty well, even in your pocket or bag, and has been highly optimized to have a very minimal impact on the battery usage.

Sleeping Hours

You can also define sleeping hours, don't be disturbed anymore during the night because of spam text message or "friends" that call you very late. It is automagically managed by FoxyRing, you will not have to worry about turning off/on the ringer again!

Locations

Ever thought about having different ringtone depending of where you are ? Or to silent your phone while being at work ? FoxyRing can assist you in this task, when at work, configure FoxyRing to not use your Britney Spears ringtone, but the Mozart one which sound more serious for your co-workers! Want your phone to vibrate only, or just be silent when visiting your grand-mother? FoxyRing can do that. Battery usage has been highly optimized. Please read the help for further details.

Widget

FoxyRing includes a widget to make your phone silent. But this one is different, it is smarter: you define for how long you want your phone to be silent (ie 2 hours), and once the time is elapsed, FoxyRing will restore your ringtone.

User Interface

The user interface has been thought to be the easiest and the more intuitive possible. You should not cross complicated menus or options. Please see the screenshots at the end of the page.

Battery usage

Highly optimized, FoxyRing will almost not harm your battery. You can define the interval between analysis to fit your own needs.
