Choosing which categories of data appear on Monitor

The Monitor tab shows your health data in tidy cards: Sleep, Physical Health, Cognitive, Environment, Diet, Menstruation. You do not have to use all of them. Everything the app collects has its own switch, and anything you switch off stops being collected and stops feeding the cards. You can switch it back on at any time, and nothing already saved is lost when you do.

These steps are the same on iPhone and Android.

Opening Data and Notifications

1. Open MigraineMe.
2. Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen. A drawer slides in from the left.
3. Tap Data and Notifications.
4. The Data screen opens. You will see one card per category: Sleep, Physical Health, Cognitive, Environment, Diet, Menstruation, plus cards for Notifications, Goal reminders and Calendar.

Each category card shows a small count on the right, like 3/9. That is how many of its metrics are currently switched on.

Turning metrics off

There is no single master switch per category. Instead, every metric row has its own switch, which keeps you in full control of exactly what is collected.

1. Scroll to the category you want to trim (for example, Menstruation if it does not apply to you).
2. Inside the card, each row (for example Sleep Stages, or HRV) has a small switch on the right.
3. Slide a switch left (so it turns grey) to turn that metric off.
4. Do the same for any other rows you do not need.

When everything in a category is off, the count reads 0 and that card on the Monitor tab no longer has anything to show. The Menstruation card, for example, disappears from Monitor entirely when its switch is off.

The data already collected is still safe. Turning a switch off only stops new collection and tidies your Monitor screen.

Turning things back on

1. Open Data and Notifications the same way.
2. Find the rows you turned off.
3. Tap each switch so it goes purple again.
4. The metrics start collecting again and return to their Monitor card.

Some rows need a phone permission (for example the microphone for noise sampling, or the calendar). If so, the row will ask for it when you switch it on. That is normal.

Finding a specific metric

There is a search box at the top of the Data screen. Type a word like "sleep" or "pressure" and the list narrows down to matching rows, which is quicker than scrolling.

If a card you want is missing

1. Make sure the metric switches inside that category are on (purple).
2. If you need a wearable for that metric (like a watch or ring), check that it is connected. Sleep score and HRV, for example, need a watch. Rows that need a wearable appear greyed out until one is connected.
3. Weather rows need Location to be on.
4. Pull down on the Monitor tab to refresh it.

You can change your mind as many times as you like. The Monitor tab is meant to fit you, not the other way round.
