Field notes
The homepage describes a browser display intended to turn a tablet into a torch, lantern, candle, or campfire at the table. Its timer follows the one-hour real-time burn rule and can be adjusted in five-minute increments. A phone remote is described for changing the flame, while optional instrumental tracks cover settings from a village or tavern to a dungeon crawl. The project identifies itself as an unofficial fan tool.
