About Migraine + Headache Tracker
A bad migraine day is hard enough to get through — you shouldn't also have to reconstruct it from memory three days later for a doctor who wants specifics. Migraine and Headache Tracker logs an attack in a few taps and keeps the details around it — stress, food, weather, and, if you connect Apple Health, sleep and your cycle — so patterns can show up in your own data instead of staying a guess.
You've probably tried the notes app or the mental tally of "was it the wine or the weather." It falls apart by the third attack — by the time you're sitting across from a doctor, the details are gone: the skipped lunch, the bad night's sleep, the pressure drop, the hormones. Log the moment it happens, and let the app hold onto everything else.
A FEW TAPS WHEN IT HURTS MOST
- Log a migraine in a few taps on a dark, quiet screen — always free, never behind a paywall
- Track pain level, where it hurts, how it feels, symptoms, and the medication you took
- An optional 20-second daily check-in records stress, hydration, caffeine, alcohol, skipped meals, screen-heavy days, common food triggers, and early signs — even on days nothing happens, because "normal" days are what make the bad ones meaningful
SPOTS PATTERNS, NOT GUESSES
- The Trigger Report compares what was different on your attack days against your usual days, and waits until there's enough of your own data before saying anything
- With location allowed, an attack you log as it happens gets the barometric pressure and its trend attached automatically
- Optionally reads sleep and menstrual-cycle data from Apple Health, and can save your attacks to Health as headache entries
- Only ever says a factor is "associated with" your attacks — never that it "causes" them
WALK INTO YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT PREPARED
- Builds a PDF summary of your attacks, this month's calendar, your medicines, and your top possible triggers, instead of reconstructing three months of headaches in a 15-minute appointment
- A medication-overuse counter shows how many days you took as-needed medicine in the last 30 and flags frequent use as worth discussing with your doctor — information only, never dosing advice
BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
- Someone who's had migraines for years and still can't say what sets theirs off
- Someone newly diagnosed, trying to give their doctor more than "it just happens sometimes"
- Someone tracking hormonal or menstrual migraines, cycle over cycle
- Someone told to "keep a headache diary" who wants one that does the remembering for them
