Your songbook, on every screen you own.

Campfire keeps your lyrics and chords in one place and arranges each song to fit the screen it’s on, whether that’s the phone in your pocket, the tablet on your music stand or the laptop at rehearsal.

A song with its picking pattern and verses in columns, on an iPad.
The song list on an iPhone, grouped by artist, with tags on every song.

Made to be read from a music stand.

The number of columns follows your screen and text size: one on a phone, several on a tablet or a laptop.

Longer songs carry on to the right instead of downwards, so scrolling never takes you back up in the middle of a verse.

And when you hand the screen to the singers, the chords can stay hidden.

A song laid out in two columns on a MacBook, with its chorus highlighted.

Bring the songs you already have.

Campfire uses ChordPro, the format most chord sites and songbook apps can export: the lyrics, with the chords in brackets where they fall.
