Campfire is a comprehensive, customizable writing app for authors of all story mediums and genres. Plan, write, and worldbuild across our browser, desktop, and mobile apps—it’s free to try!
No credit card required.
Plot, Organize, and Draft Your Story
Write your story in the Manuscript Module, then switch to the Index Card View to set word count goals, track your writing stats, and organize your chapters like cards on a digital corkboard.
Keep Your Notes a Click Away
Tag your story elements directly in your manuscript, and toggle open a sidebar to access your notes while drafting. If inspiration strikes in the middle of a writing session, open your project-wide notepad to jot it down for later reference.
Every account has access to free default templates, so you never have to stress about starting with a blank page. Create your own templates and save them so that they populate each time you create a new element!
Put a Twist on Your Story Arcs
The Timeline Module is a multipurpose tool for tracking vast historical timelines, managing multiple timelines, and plotting your novel. Start outlining immediately with one of our 10+ free story structure templates!
There’s room enough in your digital binder to store your browsing history directly in the Research Module. Save weblinks, annotated videos, PDFs, images, and text-based notes, and link them to your other story elements!
The Characters Module comes loaded with more than 100 character attribute traits fit for making heroes (or antiheroes) whose names the bards will sing about in every tavern across the land.
Character Sheets
Create detailed character sheets with space for backstories, attributes, stats, artwork, and more.
Relationship Webs
Organize your character relationships and family trees in freestyle flowcharts with the Relationships Module.
Moodboards
Save all your character inspo in aesthetic moodboards with custom layouts so it’s close by when you need it most!
Campfire supports focus mode in every module! Tune the real world out as you write in one of your own making.
Write in Style
Easily design custom themes with your choice of fonts, colors, and background images to suit any of your stories.
Customize Your Canvas
Choose from a selection of panel types and arrange them in custom layouts across your writing project.
No credit card required to sign up.
Create Diverse Secondary Worlds
From cultures and species to detailed settings and fictional languages, Campfire’s interconnected worldbuilding modules help keep you organized, efficient, and most importantly, inspired!
Make Your Maps Interactive
Upload your fictional maps to the Maps Module, or link them directly from Inkarnate. Add interactive pins for just about any story element, nest other maps, mark up important regions, and leave yourself annotations.
The Encyclopedia Module is a Campfire community-favorite! Use it to write wiki-style articles about anything you can imagine—from foods, fashions, and technologies, to world histories, fantasy ledgers, and other in-world documents.
Master Time with Custom Calendars
Use the Calendar Module to track multiple moons; create custom eras, days, weeks, and months; and never forget a character’s birthday ever again. Link it to the Timeline Module for more advanced timekeeping across your story.
Organize groups, factions, and other connections between your story elements with the Systems Module. Freestyle your flowcharts, create a color code, and customize the connections between them for better clarity.
Campfire’s writing and worldbuilding modules are designed to help you plan and plot everything from your novel to character sheets to interactive maps.

I love Campfire! It has so many useful organizational tools that work together to make writing a book a much smoother process. It’s also super affordable, and the team at Campfire is so friendly and helpful!

The thing I like most about Campfire is how smoothly everything flows. Most writing websites feel janky, unfinished, or just confusing. Campfire is surprisingly easy to figure out, and once you do, everything just works together.

Campfire has been the first platform that actually gives me a coherent place to put all my thoughts down and link ideas, characters, and plotlines together in a format that makes sense to me, and has helped me further develop my story more than I was ever able to before.
