What you were doing when something started can be useful information. Walking, gardening, reading, watching television, driving, or cooking all count. The app uses this over time to see if some activities come up more often around your attacks.
Opening the screen
- 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") on the left and Missed ("What you didn't") on the right.
- Tap the Activity half.
The Quick Log grid sits just below the big purple "Log Migraine" card and the Daily Check-In card. If you cannot see it, scroll down inside the Log tab.
On Android
The screen is titled What were you doing?. It is the same picker you see in the full migraine wizard.
- Your Frequent (starred) activities are shown first, then the rest of your list.
- Tap any activity that fits. It is added to your selection, and a count shows "1 activity added", "2 activities added", and so on.
- You can pick more than one before saving. Tap a selected activity's Remove to unpick it.
- Each activity is saved with a start time of right now. To change it, tap Edit time on the selected activity. You can set the start time and, if you like, an end time. The entry then shows its duration.
- Tap Save at the bottom. The screen closes by itself.
On iPhone
The screen is titled Quick Log Activity.
- Your Frequent (starred) activities are shown first, then the rest, as small tiles.
- Tap the activity that fits. Only one can be picked at a time here. To log another, save this one first and come back.
- Under When? the time is filled in with now. Tap it to change it. Even a rough time is helpful.
- You can add a note in Notes (optional).
- Tap Log Activity at the bottom. The screen closes by itself.
If you change your mind
- Tap Cancel at the bottom. Nothing is saved.
If your activity is not in the list
- Tap the small Manage → link next to the list title.
- Use the + button to add a new activity. Type a name, for example "Knitting" or "Driving long distance".
- The new activity will appear in your list from now on.
Logging the activity at the same time as a migraine
If you are logging a full migraine, the wizard has its own Activities step, where you pick everything you were doing around the time of the attack.
What happens after I save?
- The activity appears in your Journal tab with today's date and time.
- The Insights tab uses these entries to spot patterns between what you were doing and your attacks.
What if I had to skip an activity because of my migraine?
That is a different kind of entry called a "missed activity", and it has its own half of the same Quick Log card. For example you had to cancel a walk with friends, or you missed a class. See the article "How to log a missed activity" for how to record this.
