If you have been tracking your migraines somewhere else, in another app, a spreadsheet, or a paper diary you have typed up, you do not have to leave that history behind. You can bring it into MigraineMe yourself.
How it works
- In your old app, export your data. Most trackers offer a CSV or spreadsheet export somewhere in their settings. In Migraine Buddy it is Records, then export, then All period.
- Open MigraineMe and tap the gear icon in the top-left.
- Tap Import history.
- Tap Choose file and pick the export. A CSV, a spreadsheet saved as CSV, or plain notes all work. Keep it under 6 MB.
- The app reads the file and shows Here's what we found. Nothing is saved yet.
- Check the attacks and days, and what the app assumed. You can change or remove any attack.
- Tap Import to save.
You can remove the whole import afterwards from the same screen if something looks wrong.
If the file will not read, or you are not sure how to export from your old app, email it to help@migraineme.app from the email address on your account and we will help.
What imported history does, and does not do
Your old attacks appear in your Journal and in your reports, so you and your doctor can see the full picture of your migraine story in one place.
Whether they also count in the app's pattern analysis depends on your plan:
- Free and during the trial: imported history goes into your journal only.
- Paid subscribers: you can also tick which kinds of imported data count in your insights, triggers, medicines and patterns. The app suggests what to count, and you can change any tick.
Your old records are still yours, still visible, and still useful.
