About
Campfire is a songbook for the songs you play: your lyrics and chords, laid out to be read while your hands are busy with an instrument, with a metronome that knows the tempo of every song and a tuner for the minute before it starts.
Chords sit right above the syllables they belong to, and a song flows into as many columns as the screen has room for, so you turn as few pages as possible.
Campfire doesn't come with songs of its own. It is a home for yours. Write them in the built-in editor, paste a chord sheet copied from a website, or bring the ones you already have: text files, PDFs, Word documents, ChordPro files, whole zip archives, even another songbook app's backup.
Reading
• Turn the page with a tap, a key, or a Bluetooth page-turner pedal, and reach every line with Up and Down alone
• Long songs fit on fewer pages, and short ones fill the screen in centered columns
• Adjustable text size, foldable sections, cover art, and links to recordings
• A lyrics-only view for the people who only sing
• Read only mode keeps a stray tap from changing a song mid-set
Chords and scales
• Chord diagrams for guitar, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, or keyboard, in alternate tunings too, in the shapes you actually play
• A Chords tab with every key's common chords, and a Scales tab that draws and plays every scale on your instrument
• Every song suggests the scales that fit it, and its tabs are moved to your instrument
• Transpose and set the capo, and Campfire names the key the band hears
• Chords in standard, German (H), Latin (Do Re Mi), Nashville, or Roman numeral notation
Tuner
• Tune a guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, mandolin, or banjo string by string, in many tunings, or any instrument chromatically
• Reference tones to tune by ear, opened over the song you are about to play
• It listens only while it is on screen, and keeps nothing it hears
Metronome
• Every song keeps its own tempo, time signature, and accents, tempo changes included
• Tap tempo, subdivisions, and five sounds
• A flash on every beat, and it keeps clicking with the screen locked
Setlists
• Play through the whole set without stopping, the tempo changing on the next bar
• Every setlist remembers its own key, capo, and tempo for each song
• A date and a countdown for the gig, and the set's total running time
• Archive a setlist after the gig instead of deleting it
Organizing and editing
• Search by title, artist, or tag
• Select several songs at once to add them to setlists, tag them, or export them in one go
• Tags and languages stored inside the song files, with 14 tag colors
• Find a song's cover art and details online, only when you ask
• A ChordPro editor with syntax highlighting, mistakes marked as you type, and a live preview
Import, export, share, and sync
• Paste, drop, or share a chord sheet into Campfire, and chords written above the lyrics become real chords you can transpose
• Import ChordPro, text, PDF, and Word files, zip archives, and other songbook apps' backups
• Print-ready PDF export with your paper size and columns
• Share a song or setlist as a link or QR code that anyone opens in Campfire, kept up to date with your changes
• Optional sync through your own Dropbox, automatic after every change
Make it yours
• Light and dark themes, a sepia slider, and ten color schemes
• The app icon follows the color you choose
• Switch off any feature you never use
• English and Hungarian, switchable inside the app
Your songs are yours
Your library is a folder of ordinary ChordPro text files on your device. Campfire works offline, needs no account, and collects no data: no analytics, no tracking, and no ads. It goes online only for what you ask of it: to sync and share through your own Dropbox, with no server in between, to open a shared link, and to fetch cover images and song details. You can export everything at any time.
Campfire is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
