Campfire is composed of seventeen modules, each one offering a different way to organize your notes, write your story, or worldbuild. Try each one for free!
Create customized layouts and organize your story with Campfire’s panels. You’ll find these in most of Campfire’s modules, and they give you complete control over how you build your story.
Campfire is built on panels like these. There are several kinds of panels, each of which can be moved, resized, and modified with whatever content you need for the project you’re working on. Try them out now!

When it’s time to write, you don’t want to waste time searching for story details. Writing software should make it easy. Use the Manuscript Module to check your notes at any point as you write—without leaving the page.
The Timeline Module allows you to create events that track what happens in your story. Use multiple plotlines to represent different story arcs in the timeline.
With the Relationships Module, create visual representations of your characters' relationships or intricate family trees. In the Systems Module, illustrate how a group or social construct works by connecting its different components.
Upload your map to the Maps Module, add pins to integrate it with the rest of your story, and nest other maps to keep things organized.
You might have noticed that these modules look a bit…inconsistent. The creators of each project have applied different themes to them! We think writing software should let you express your creativity even while you’re planning. You can change the colors, fonts, and more to better fit your project in Campfire—for free!
The Encyclopedia Module is a great way to create articles on different aspects of your story if you don’t need panels. It’s also a fantastic space to write about things that don’t quite fit anywhere else—diets, family history, clothing details, and more!
Design a magic system with the Magic Module, then use its guidebook to create potions, poultices, spells, prayers, enchantments, and whatever else you can imagine! Perfect for both hard and soft magic systems.
Does your setting feature unique languages or terms? The Languages Module is the perfect place to build a conlang (constructed language) for your world. Plus, while you’re writing, you can create new words on the fly!
Wouldn't it be nice to have an actual graph to show your characters' arcs? The Arcs Module helps you do just that—but not just for characters. Once you’ve created an eligible element and linked it to a few events in your timeline you can show how it changes over time!
Store your webpages, videos, images, PDFs, and any notes you might need right within Campfire's Research Module. It’s great for historical fiction, taking inspiration from the real world, or writing nonfiction!
This is, in my experience, the best platform a writer can use.... Their staff are very active with their community. They are very attentive to issues and bugs. Their communication about updates and expectations is transparent. The tools and resources they offer are, to me, exceptional. I have been on platforms like Wattpad or World Anvil or some of the smaller writer platforms. I left all of them for Campfire and I have no regrets about it.
Campfire is many things: intuitive, beautiful, customizable, irreplaceable, and robust. Above all though, it's fun! It's a software that reminded me why I love writing and provided the tools to create uninhibited. I can't recommend it enough!
