Migraine Journal: Headache Log

New: see your daily migraine risk from the weather. Migraine Journal tracks barometric pressure and your own patterns to forecast attacks before they hit.

Migraine Journal is a calm, private place to track your migraines and figure out what triggers them.

Built for people who've lived with migraine long enough to know that "just write it down" is harder than it sounds — especially mid-episode. Logging takes about 20 seconds. Insights surface only when you have enough data for them to mean something.

THE DAILY LOG

Open the app, tap one card, and walk through six quick steps:

• Severity — a soft 0-10 dial that pulses gently when you cross 7 • Pain location — tap a head diagram to mark where it hurts (forehead, temple, behind the eyes, jaw, neck, or "whole head") • Symptoms — aura, nausea, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, dizziness, fatigue, and others • Triggers — sleep, stress, food, weather, hormonal cycle, screen time, and 9 more • Context — when it started, how long it lasted, what medication you took and whether it helped • Review — a clean summary before saving

In a hurry or mid-attack? Tap "Log migraine now" to capture it in one tap and fill in details later. You can also log past days by tapping any cell in the 12-week calendar heatmap.

INSIGHTS THAT EARN THEIR PLACE

The Insights tab waits until you have at least three entries before it shows you anything. Then:

• Pain-day rate — what percentage of the last 30 days you logged a migraine • Average severity — across all your entries • Severity over time — a clean line chart • Trigger correlations (Plus) — for each trigger, how much it shifts your migraine severity. Surfaces only correlations strong enough to matter.

The point is to find your pattern. Most people with migraine have one. The app's job is to help you see it.

PRIVACY, ACTUALLY

Your migraine entries live in two places: your iPhone and (if you're signed into iCloud) your private iCloud database. That's it.

• No account to create • Your migraine entries are never collected, sold, or shared • Anonymous usage stats only (which features are used) — never your health data • No ads, ever • Works fully offline

Export everything as JSON any time. Delete everything any time. Import a previous export to restore on a new device. You're never locked in.

SYNC ACROSS YOUR DEVICES

Use an iPhone and an iPad? Your entries sync automatically through your private iCloud. Apple's CloudKit handles the encryption; even Apple can't read the contents. The developer can't read your migraine entries either — and never collects them.

WHAT IT WON'T DO

It won't diagnose your migraines or tell you what to take — that's your doctor's job. It won't spam you: one optional reminder per day, at a time you choose.

DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE MIGRAINES

The visual design is intentionally calm. Soft sage and warm cream, generous spacing, gentle haptics — the kind of interface you can look at when light sensitivity is at its peak. The flow is intentionally short: six steps, skip any of them.

FREE — AND GENEROUS

Logging is free and unlimited, forever. See your full history, basic stats, your last-30-days chart, and set a daily reminder. No account, no ads.

MIGRAINE JOURNAL PLUS (OPTIONAL)

For those who want the full picture, Plus unlocks:

• Doctor-ready PDF report — for any date range, to bring to your neurologist • Trigger correlations — see what actually shifts your migraines • Medication effectiveness — which meds truly help, and how often • Full all-time trend history • Unlimited custom symptoms & triggers

Plus is a subscription ($4.99/mo or $29.99/yr) or a one-time Lifetime purchase. The free tier stays genuinely useful — Plus is for the deeper analysis.
