Singers’ guide

No install, no account: you join a campfire and sing while the lyrics and chords scroll in front of you. Here is everything you can do from your phone or tablet.

As a singer, you have nothing to set up. The musician starts the song and your screen shows the lyrics with the guitar chords right above the words, at the same pace as everyone around the fire. The current line is highlighted so you never lose your place, even if you join in the middle of a song. You can come in at any moment — at the start of the evening or halfway through a chorus — and your screen catches up on its own.

  1. Join the campfire

    Scan the QR code shared by the host or enter the campfire code under “Join a campfire”. No account needed: you give your first name and land straight on the current song, already in sync.

  2. Follow the lyrics and chords

    The lyrics scroll with the song and the chords appear right above the syllables they belong to. The line being sung is highlighted for the whole group, so you find your place at a glance, even mid-evening. Choruses and verses are clearly laid out, so the shape of the song is easy to follow.

  3. Adjust the text size

    Text too small at arm’s length? The − and + buttons make the lyrics and chords bigger or smaller. Your setting is saved on your device and follows you from one song to the next, with nothing to redo.

  4. Show or hide the chords

    Don’t read chords? Hide them with one button to keep just the lyrics, nicely spaced. Playing along on guitar? Show them again. Everyone picks their own display without changing anything for the others.

  5. Automatic scrolling

    To sing hands-free, turn on auto-scroll: the page moves down on its own, at the speed you set with − and +. The screen stays awake while it scrolls, and you can pause and resume at any time. It is ideal when you want to clap along or hold a mug and still keep reading.

  6. Rate the song and suggest

    At the end of a song, give it stars based on how much you liked it: the group average shows live. You can also suggest your favourites to grow the songbook for the next sing-alongs.

That’s it: no cable to plug in, no software to install. As long as your phone shows the campfire page, you are part of the choir — and you can tune your reading comfort whenever you like. Every singer around the fire sees the very same words at the very same time.
