Below the big circle on the home screen, you will find a card called Top contributors. This is the Active Triggers card. It is the part of the app that answers the question "what is making today the colour it is?" in plain words. Nothing here is set in stone, and you do not need to do anything with it unless you want to.
The card is part of the premium plan. On the free plan it is shown behind a small Unlock trigger breakdown message, and tapping it takes you to the subscription page.
These steps are the same on iPhone and Android.
What it looks like
- Open MigraineMe. The home screen is the one with the big circle.
- Scroll down with your finger, past the Ask MigraineMe card and the daily insight.
- You will see a card titled Top contributors.
- Inside the card, the three biggest contributors sit on their own rows. Each row has a name (for example "Poor sleep", "Weather change", "Stress") and a small coloured label on the right.
If you do not see this card, it may simply be that nothing is contributing to your risk right now. On a very quiet day the card does not appear at all.
What each row means
Each row is one thing MigraineMe thinks is nudging your score today. Reading from left to right:
- The name is the trigger or early warning sign. This might be sleep, weather, stress, caffeine, your cycle, or something else you have logged.
- The small coloured label on the right shows how severe that item is rated for you: red for HIGH, orange for MILD, green for LOW.
- Under the name there is a thin bar showing how much this item is adding to your score right now.
- Below that, a tiny line of text reads something like "12% of risk · 4 pts · 2 days active". When a trigger only showed up today, it says "1 day active". You can ignore the numbers if you like. The short version is: this item is part of why today looks the way it does, and how long it has been around.
Why the list changes from day to day
The card is not a fixed list of your triggers. It only shows what is happening right now. So:
- If you slept badly last night, sleep may appear today and be gone tomorrow.
- If a storm is on the way, weather may show up for a day or two.
- If you are in a stressful week at work, stress may sit there for several days in a row.
- On a very quiet day, the card disappears completely. That is a good sign.
Tapping for more detail
The card only shows the top three. If you want the full picture:
- Tap the card itself, or tap the big circle at the top of the home screen.
- The Risk Detail screen opens.
- Here you will see every contributor in order, each with the same bar and detail line, plus the 7-day forecast.
If the card looks wrong
- MigraineMe is still learning about you. The app uses your recent days of data to know what is "normal" for you, so a new account will not have much to show yet.
- If you have not yet connected a watch, a ring or a food app, there is less information to work with.
- On iPhone, pull down on the home screen to refresh. On Android, close the app fully and open it again.
If the card still feels wrong (for example, it never mentions sleep even though you sleep badly), please write to us at help@migraineme.app.
You are in control
The items on this card are MigraineMe's best guess. They are not a verdict. If you know your body and disagree, that is fine. The more migraines you log, the more the app learns and the better the list gets.
