Ember - Migraine Tracker

Built by a headache specialist, Ember helps you log migraine days calmly, see 90-day patterns, and bring provider-ready insights. 2 months free for new users.

Ember is for people who have tried the other migraine trackers and felt frustrated or misunderstood. We get it! You don't need an app to guess when you'll get an attack-- first of all, that's impossible. Second of all, a person suffering from migraines KNOWS when they're getting one. And barometric pressure tracking? Another near-useless feature that most who actually get migraines can tell better than their Weather app.

With Ember: No streak-loss shaming. No gamification. No bright white screens during an attack. No endless questions that keep you staring at your phone.

Ember was built by a real headache specialist (and fellow person living with migraine disease) who was tired of watching his patients walk into their appointments unable to describe the last three months. It's designed to help you track the details that actually matter, so visits can start with a clearer picture instead of a blurry memory reconstruction.

LOG YOUR DAY IN SECONDS

Tap your pain level, your symptoms, note any meds you took. Make notes if you want. Easy, quick, complete.

The whole interface uses a calming midnight-dark design, gentle enough to use during an attack and simple enough to return to every day.

PATTERNS, NOT GUESSWORK

Ember's internal logic engine, based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) sorts your taps into clear days, headache days, symptom days, and migraine days. No more trying to decide if it was a migraine day or a headache day; this app does it for you. No AI is used within the app, so there's no guessing how it works under the hood.

EXPORT YOUR MIGRAINE CALENDAR

Most headache clinics ask for three months of tracking data, especially when reviewing treatments like Botox or CGRP preventives.

Ember’s 90-day calendar shows severity, migraine and headache markers, symptom-only days, menstrual cycle/period correlation, medication use patterns, and treatment cycles in one clean view you and your provider can quickly understand.

INSIGHTS YOU CAN BRING TO YOUR PROVIDER

Ember summarizes frequency, severity, function, disability scores, medication use, and treatment response over time.

We get it-- frequency of days with migraine symptoms don't tell the whole story! It's more complex than that, and Ember helps show changes in severity, function, disability, and treatment patterns that can otherwise get missed.

BUILT FOR REAL CHRONIC MIGRAINE TREATMENTS

Track Botox and preventive medication cycles with onset, wearing-off, and breakthrough days.

Track newer CGRP treatments like Aimovig, Ajovy, Emgality, Qulipta, Vyepti, and Nurtec for preventive use. See what's actually working for you. No more guessing.

Layer treatments and review how you responded to each one individually AND in combination. Some people need multiple treatments, Ember helps justify both to insurers (with your provider's interpretation, of course).

Log acute medications with rebound cycle awareness for the medication types where that risk is clinically relevant. Gepants like Nurtec ODT, Ubrelvy, and Zavzpret are tracked separately, the way headache specialists think about them.

YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE

Your health data lives on your phone, not on a server. Ember does not transmit, sell, or share your migraine or any health data.

TRY EMBER FREE FOR TWO MONTHS

Start with two months free for new users. Make sure you find it valuable. Then just $4.99/month (about half the price of other apps out there).

ONGOING DEVELOPMENT

The headache specialist behind this app wants your feedback! If there's anything you think would make the app even better, don't hesitate to share feedback.

Note: Ember is a personal wellness and pattern-tracking tool. Everything it generates is patient-reported information and a starting point for conversations with your clinician. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional medical care.
