Open Kartograf, allow location access, and start walking — the app draws a fog-of-war map that clears only over ground you've physically covered, giving you a visual record of everywhere you've walked. Every route becomes a permanent, revealed patch on your personal map.
Kartograf starts you on a map covered in fog. As your phone's GPS detects movement, the fog lifts along your exact path, street by street. Over time this builds a continuous map of every walk you've taken, not just a single session's route.
Install Kartograf, grant it location permission when prompted, and keep location services active while you walk. The app records your position in the background so you don't need to keep it open the entire time, though a live connection gives the clearest, most immediate fog reveal.
Cleared fog shows your covered ground. Along the way you'll also see landmarks you've passed, treasures you can collect, and demon gates placed on the map. These are layered on top of your walking history, not separate from it.
Kartograf stores your location history to build your map. If you're in Norway or elsewhere in the EU/EEA, the personvernforordningen (GDPR) gives you the right to access, export, or delete this data from the company operating Kartograf. If you're outside the EU/EEA, check your own country's data protection rules, since they may differ.
Kartograf lets you compete with friends by comparing how much fog each of you has cleared. This turns your individual walked-area map into a shared, ongoing comparison rather than a private log only you can see.
Kartograf is free to play. Go to kartograf.pixygon.io, set up your account, and take your first walk — the fog on your map will start clearing immediately.
