A missed activity is something you had to skip, cancel, or cut short because of your migraine. A walk you could not take, a meal you had to miss, a coffee with a friend you had to cancel, or a class you could not attend. These entries matter. They show, to you and to your doctor, how much migraine takes from your life.
There are two ways to log one: straight from the Quick Log, or as part of the full migraine wizard.
The quick way
- Open the app.
- Tap the Log tab at the bottom of the screen.
- In the Quick Log section, look at the bottom-right card. It is split into two halves: Activity ("What you did") and Missed ("What you didn't").
- Tap the Missed half. A screen opens titled What did you miss?.
- Tap whatever you had to skip.
- On Android you can pick more than one (a count shows "1 missed activity", "2 missed activities", and so on), then tap Save at the bottom.
- On iPhone you pick one, can change the time under When was this? and add a note, then tap Log Missed at the bottom.
If there was no migraine logged that day, the app may gently ask "Why did you skip …?" so you can note what stopped you: a trigger, a warning sign, or your own words. It is optional.
In the full migraine wizard
- Tap the big purple Log Migraine card at the top of the Log tab.
- The wizard opens on the Timing step. There are 14 steps, and every one can be skipped.
- Step through with Next (or the Skip link). The Missed Activities step comes after Postdromes and before Notes. It is the twelfth step.
- Tap whatever you had to skip, then carry on.
If what you missed is not in the list
- On the missed activities screen, tap the small Manage → link next to the list title.
- Use the + button to add a new missed activity. Type a name, for example "Sunday lunch with grandchildren" or "Choir practice".
- It now appears in the list. Tap it to pick it.
Adding a note about what you missed
In the wizard, tap Next from Missed Activities to reach the Notes step and type a short note if it helps you remember what happened. For example "had to cancel the bridge group an hour before". This is optional.
Finishing the migraine log
- Carry on through the remaining steps.
- The last step is Review Log. Read through your entries.
- Tap the purple Save Log button at the bottom. The wizard closes.
- Your missed activity is now saved as part of this migraine.
What happens after I save?
- The missed activity appears in your Journal tab.
- The Insights tab uses these entries to show the real impact of migraine on your daily life.
Why this matters
Doctors and insurance forms often ask "how much does this stop you doing?". Honest, regular missed-activity entries are gold for that conversation. There is no need to feel guilty about logging a lot of them.
