What Dev Tones is

Dev Tones is a web-based collection of interface and menu sounds for app projects. Its catalog contains more than 630 professionally designed sounds for different events, supplied in WAV and AIF formats. A web app lets users preview tones, and free example sounds are available for royalty-free use with attribution. Version 1.2 added 100 Material Design-inspired sounds, including recordings of paper, cards, zippers, wine glasses, and xylophones. A paid license permits royalty-free use in commercial and non-commercial projects, but bars resale or redistribution as sound effects or ringtones. It also excludes sound-related apps, reusable sound libraries, point-and-click app builders, and templates or themes encouraging downstream distribution. RCP says the files use no DRM and that free updates are included; the collection has been updated twice. RCP identifies itself as Recording Productions, its parent company and sound lab. Custom sound design or music may be arranged.
