About Kaiku
Kaiku is Finnish for echo: what's left of a session after it's been played. Kaiku keeps that echo. It turns a recording of your game night into a readable log, and keeps track of the story across the whole campaign: what happened, who you met, which threads are still open, and where you left off.
It's made for tabletop roleplaying groups of any kind (fantasy, horror, science fiction) and doesn't assume any particular rules.
How it works
- At the table, start the session in Kaiku and record it (a phone on the table is enough). Kaiku notes who's there, when the recap ends and play starts, and any moments you bookmark.
- Afterwards, turn the recording into text on your own computer, for example with Buzz, and add it to the session. No recording? Write down what you remember instead.
- Claude writes the log in a few minutes: a summary, the scenes, who was involved, items and conditions, and where the party stopped. It updates the campaign's threads and NPCs as it goes.
- Correct anything. Every piece of text can be edited, and your corrections are what the next log builds on.
What you get
- A log for every session, with a title, scenes and a timeline of the whole campaign.
- A recap page to read from at the start of the next session.
- Threads (the story's open questions) that age: untouched ones go cold, and come back when they're picked up.
- NPCs with what's known about them, where they were first met, and the names they've gone by.
- The party: levels, attendance, and the characters who left it, and how.
- Backups of the whole campaign as a file, and deleted things kept for 30 days.

A campaign is reached by its link, and anyone with the link can read and edit it: share it only with your group. There's nothing to sign up for. See the Privacy Policy for what's stored and how to remove it.
