The Quick Log gives you six small cards that each save one thing in a few taps. You do not have to fill in a long form every time something happens. Take your time. You cannot break anything.
Same on iPhone and Android
- Open the app.
- Tap the Log tab at the bottom of the screen. The word "Log" appears under a small starburst icon.
- Below the big purple "Log Migraine" card and the Daily Check-In card, you will see a section titled Quick Log.
- You will see six cards laid out in three rows of two.
If you do not see the Quick Log section, scroll down a little. It sits below the big "Log Migraine" hero card.
There is a small (i) icon at the top right of the Quick Log section title. Tap it at any time for a refresher on what the Quick Log is for and how it differs from the one-tap strip on the home screen.
What each of the six cards is for
Each card shows a small picture and a short title. Tap any card and a screen opens where you choose what to save.
- Migraine (pink card, top left, subtitle "Pain character, symptom"). Tap this when something feels off and you want to log a single symptom: a pain character (pounding, throbbing, pressure) or an accompanying experience (nausea, sensitivity to light, and so on). It is the lightweight cousin of a full migraine log: you pick one symptom and save it with the current time. If you pick Aura, a short extra sheet opens so you can mark where in your vision it appeared and how long it lasted.
- Prodrome (purple card, top right). Tap this for an early warning sign. A prodrome is something that often comes before an attack, like yawning a lot, feeling unusually tired, or craving sweet food.
- Trigger (orange card with a small bolt-shaped icon, middle left). Tap this when you think something has set off your migraine or might do so soon. Common triggers are bright light, loud noise, strong smells, or a missed meal.
- Medicine (light blue card with a small pill icon, middle right). Tap this when you take a tablet, drink, or other medicine. You can also note the amount, how much relief it gave, and any side effects.
- Relief (green card with a leaf icon, bottom left). Tap this when you do something that helps, like lying down in a dark room, taking a walk, putting an ice pack on your head, or stretching.
- Activity / Missed (bottom right, one card in two halves). The Activity half is for logging what you did (working, exercising, driving, and so on). The Missed half is for what you did not manage to do because of your migraine: a walk you skipped, a plan you cancelled. They are the same question asked both ways, so they share a card.
A note about postdrome
You may have noticed there is no card here for postdrome (the recovery feelings after an attack: brain fog, low energy, mild headache the day after). That is on purpose. Postdrome symptoms belong to a specific migraine, so we ask about them as part of the Daily Check-In when you have an open migraine, and they are also a step in the full Log Migraine wizard. The Quick Log is for things that stand alone.
What you can edit
Every Quick Log entry can be opened later in the Journal and edited or deleted. Nothing is permanent.
