Campfire: Songbook & Metronome

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.
