Campfire Log Join the waitlist
A game journal for iPhone and iPad

Every evening of play, logged by the fire.

Campfire Log reads your Steam and PlayStation playtime each day and turns it into a journal. You don't start timers. You just add a few words about how it went.

How it works

Play as usual. Write a line at night.

  1. Connect your accounts

    Sign in to Steam and PlayStation once. Anything else, like a handheld or a game at a friend's, you can add by hand.

  2. Play like you always do

    Campfire Log checks your playtime totals a few times a day and works out how long you played each game.

  3. Open it in the evening

    Today's games are already there. Tap one to jot down what happened. A gentle reminder nudges you if you forget.

iPhone and iPad

Room for the whole playthrough on iPad

On iPad your days, your games and every note you wrote about them sit side by side. Your journal syncs between both through iCloud.

What's inside

A quiet place for your play history

Daily totals, done for you

Hours per game per day, pulled from your accounts. If you skip a few days, it suggests how to split the time.

A note for every game

Boss fights, plot twists, where you left off. Your own memory of each playthrough, written like a journal page.

Week, month and year

A calendar of what you played and when, with streaks and totals that add up over time.

Backlog and wishlist

Search any game, see time to beat and details, and sort it into wishlist, backlog or played.

Evening reminder and widget

Your streak and today's playtime on the Home Screen, plus one reminder at the time you choose.

Medals by the fire

Small rewards for streaks, notes and finished games. First Spark, Kindling, Bonfire and more.

Privacy

Your journal stays with you

There's no Campfire Log account and no server holding your play history. Your journal lives on your iPhone and iPad and syncs through your own iCloud. The app talks straight to Steam and PlayStation, with nobody in between.

Questions
Is it free?

Yes. Small banner ads appear on some screens (never on Today), and a one-time purchase removes them.

When can I try it?

A TestFlight beta opens first for people on the waitlist. The App Store launch follows once the beta feels solid.

Android?

Not at first. iPhone and iPad come first; Android depends on how the iOS version is received.

Do I need to track every session?

No. Campfire Log only keeps how long you played each game per day, so there's nothing to start or stop.
