What does it cost?
What does it cost?
Nothing. Fogline is a personal project — free, with no subscriptions and no in-app
purchases. One burakov account works across all your devices.
Which platforms are supported?
Which platforms are supported?
iOS and Android, phones and tablets, from one account. It’s mobile-only — there’s no
desktop or web version, because the whole idea depends on the phone you carry with you.
Does it track me in the background?
Does it track me in the background?
Yes — that’s the point. Fogline records where you travel with the app closed and the screen off,
so roads paint themselves without you doing anything. Your raw trail stays on the phone; only the
roads you’ve painted back up.
Where does it work?
Where does it work?
Kyiv and the surrounding oblast today, with other regions as downloadable map packs. Once
a region is downloaded, painting and the map work fully offline.
Why does it need me to sign in?
Why does it need me to sign in?
So your painted map backs up and follows you across devices. Sign in on a new phone and your
coverage is right there. The account is free.
Will it drain my battery?
Will it drain my battery?
Fogline samples your location only as you move and stays quiet when you’re still, so it’s
tuned to sip battery in the background rather than run flat out. Longer trips naturally use more.
Does my location leave my phone?
Does my location leave my phone?
No. Your raw location trail never leaves the device — it’s used only to paint roads. The only
thing that syncs is the plain list of roads you’ve painted, plus your coverage totals.
What counts as painting a road?
What counts as painting a road?
One pass, in any direction, by any means — driving, walking, cycling, or riding as a
passenger. Roads are split into stretches of about 40 metres; travel one and it’s painted for
good.
How accurate is it?
How accurate is it?
Your path is snapped to the OpenStreetMap road network, and GPS noise and standing still are
filtered out, so your map follows real streets. Nothing is perfect — occasional GPS drift can
miss or nudge a stretch.
Can I start over?
Can I start over?
Yes. Reset map clears every painted road and sets your coverage back to zero, so your city
starts fully fogged again. It’s permanent.
