One free account

Fogline uses a single free burakov account (email, Google, or Apple) that works across all your apps and devices. Signing in is required — it’s what lets your painted map back up and follow you from one phone to the next. There are no subscriptions and nothing to buy.

​
Private by design

Fogline is built so the sensitive part never leaves your phone:
  • Your raw location trail — the record of where and when you actually travelled — stays on your device and is used only to paint roads. It is never uploaded.
  • Only your painted roads — the plain list of which road stretches are lit up, plus your coverage totals — sync to your account, so your map can back up and reach your other devices.
  • The basemap and road network live offline on your device as downloaded packs.
The server knows which roads you’ve coloured in, but not the routes, times, or trips that painted them.

Permissions it asks for

1

Location — including in the background

Fogline needs background (always) location so it can paint roads while the app is closed and the screen is off. That passive tracking is the whole point — without it, there’s nothing to paint.
2

Notifications — on Android

On Android, Fogline shows a quiet, ongoing notification while it’s tracking in the background — that’s how the system lets an app keep painting with the screen off, so you can always tell it’s running.
Fogline is a personal project, not a business — your data isn’t sold or used for ads. Because a movement map is personal, it’s built to keep your raw trail on your device and share only the roads you’ve painted.
