MigraineMe is built to be quiet. It will never send you news, ads, or anything you did not ask for. Every notification it does send is there to help with your tracking, and each one can be switched off on its own. This article walks through them in plain language.
If you would rather not receive any of them, you can turn them off completely. See the article Turning push notifications on or off.
The daily evening reminder
Every evening, at 8 pm in your local time, MigraineMe sends one gentle reminder.
- The notification says something like "How was today?" or "Take 15 seconds to log your day".
- Tap it, and the app opens the Daily Check-In.
- If you do not tap it, nothing bad happens. It will arrive again tomorrow.
This reminder is the main notification because it helps you keep your logging steady. The Daily Check-In is a short review of your day. You do not have to fill in every page. Answer the parts you want and skip the rest. There is no penalty for missing a day.
Daily risk alerts
If your risk gauge for the day reaches a level you have chosen, MigraineMe sends a short alert telling you the level and the biggest factor behind it. Tap it to open the Home screen and see what is driving it.
You choose the level under the gear icon top-left, then Data and Notifications, in the Notifications card. The options are Off, Low, Mild and High. If your risk climbs to a higher level later in the same day, you may get one more alert for the new level.
New recommendations
When fresh recommendations are ready for you, a notification says "New recommendations ready". Tap it to open the Insights tab. You can switch this off with the Recommendation alerts switch in the same Notifications card.
Ongoing migraine reminder
If you logged a migraine but never marked it as ended, the app will gently ask "Is your migraine over?" every few days until you close it. You can choose how often, or turn it off, in the Notifications card. The app stops asking after a few unanswered reminders, so it never turns into nagging.
Recalibration suggestions
Roughly once a week, MigraineMe checks whether your data suggests small changes to your trigger settings and thresholds. When it finds something worth suggesting, you get a notification saying your profile has learned something new, and a banner also appears on the Home screen. Tap either one to open the Recalibration screen, where you can accept or reject each suggestion. If the suggestions sit unreviewed, a single reminder follows a few days later. See What the recalibration banner means for the full walkthrough.
Many weeks nothing changes, and that is normal. No suggestions simply means your settings still fit your data.
Trigger alerts
These are off unless you turn them on. Each trigger in your pool has a small bell icon in Manage Items, and the Trigger alerts switch in the Notifications card must be on. If you turn the bell on for a trigger, the app will notify you when that trigger fires for the day, for example when your sleep was unusually short. If you never touch the bells, you will never get these.
Device check-ins
If you log a session with a neuromodulation device, the app can ask you a couple of hours later how it went, so the outcome gets recorded. This can be switched off with the Device check-ins switch in the Notifications card.
Community activity
If someone replies to you in the community, or a companion adds something to your community feed, you may get a notification so you can read it. Tap it to open the community. Companion notifications have their own AI companion switch in the Notifications card.
Goals
If you use goals, you can get reminders for each goal and a weekly review on Monday mornings. These have their own switches in the Goals card under Data and Notifications.
Your free trial
If you are on the free trial, you will get two heads-ups: one about three days before it ends, and one on the last day. Those are the only messages of their kind.
That is the full list
The app does not send marketing, news, or anything you have not read about above. If you ever see a notification that does not match one of these, it is almost certainly from a different app on your phone.
If you would rather not have any of them
You can turn notifications off in two places:
- Inside MigraineMe, tap the gear icon top-left, then Data and Notifications, and use the switches on the Notifications card. Each type has its own switch, so you can keep the ones you like.
- In your phone settings, switch off notifications for MigraineMe entirely.
