iFog turned an early iPhone into a virtual misted window. Instead of looking through the glass, you drew on it with your finger. This historical guide identifies the app behind our February 2009 coverage and explains the status of its original download.
What did iFog do?
A February 2009 founder interview published by VC Cafe describes a screen covered in simulated condensation that users could write or sketch on. The accompanying product image shows a tic-tac-toe grid traced through the mist, with droplets still visible around it.
The developers were MyApParty founders Barack Ben Ezer and Tommy Sheinfeld. Ben Ezer told the interviewer that drawing on a steamed-up shower screen inspired the idea. That simple interaction is the useful distinction when identifying iFog: it was a playful glass-drawing effect, rather than a weather forecast or a photo-editing tool.
Which app did the old link refer to?
The historical download link in iCulture’s October 2009 iFog coverage identifies Apple app ID 300601432 and names the developer as ApParty. Keep that ID alongside the name when checking an old bookmark or purchase record; an app with a similar title need not be the same release.
Can you still download iFog for iPhone?
Our check of Apple’s US catalog on October 15, 2026 returned no result for app ID 300601432. We cannot verify a current US download or compatibility with today’s iPhones. This page documents the historical app; it is not a current installation guide or a hands-on test of a modern version.
