FogAway
Overview
FogAway is an iPhone app (iOS 17 or later, 12 languages) that turns walks and trips into a fog-of-war map, clearing fog over the streets you explore. Users can revisit a day, week, month or their full history. A timeline and calendar show recording periods and routes, and a time machine and day replay support video export. Share cards cover maps, months, years and milestones, and statistics track explored area, places, distance and streaks. Privacy zones, Face ID lock, GPX export and backup to the user's own iCloud Drive are included. Tracks stay on the device, with no FogAway account, ads or analytics SDKs.
