Fireplace

A real fire, filmed. Not a drawing and not a particle effect — logs burning in a real hearth, shot close up, looping without a visible cut.

FIVE FIRES

A classic hearth, a campfire, a wood stove, a cosy cabin, and a bonfire on the beach. Every one is real footage, cut so that its last frame meets its first.

THE LOOP YOU CANNOT SEE

Most fireplace videos give themselves away every few minutes with a jump back to the start. This one does not. The picture was cut frame-exact, and the sound runs on a separate loop of a different length, so a given frame and a given crackle almost never meet twice in an evening.

MIX YOUR OWN AMBIENCE

Six sound layers, each on its own slider: fire, crackling, wind, rain, thunder and birds. Turn the rain up and the birds off, or keep the fire on its own. Your mix is remembered.

A SLEEP TIMER, TO THE SECOND

Presets from 15 minutes to 8 hours, or set an exact time down to the second — up to seven days, if you want the fire there all weekend. It fades out instead of cutting, so the silence does not wake you. Leave it off and it simply never stops.

CAST IT TO YOUR TV

One tap sends the fire to any Chromecast or Google TV, or over AirPlay on Apple devices. Your phone becomes the remote. Nothing is streamed from the internet - the video lives on your device and is served straight to the TV, so it works on any Wi-Fi, even without a connection.

ALSO RUNS ON ANDROID TV

Install it straight onto your television and skip the phone entirely.

MADE FOR LONG EVENINGS

- Rest mode dims the screen and keeps the sound going

- A brightness control that applies to this app alone and hands your usual brightness back on the way out

- Screen stays awake so the fire does not lock away

- Controls fade out on their own and come back with a tap

NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING
