Turning off the daily check-in reminder

The daily check-in reminder is the small notification MigraineMe sends every evening at 8 pm. It is meant to be a gentle nudge to log your day. But some people find 8 pm is not a good time, or they would rather not be reminded at all.

This article shows you how to turn that single reminder off, without losing access to anything else in the app.

What you will lose, and not lose

1. You will no longer be tapped on the shoulder at 8 pm.
2. The Daily Check-In screen will still exist inside the app, and you can open it whenever you want.
3. Your migraine logging, Insights, and risk gauge all continue to work normally.
4. Your data is untouched.

So you really are only switching off the buzz. Nothing more.

The in-app way

This is the simplest way, because it turns off only the daily reminder and leaves your other notifications alone.

1. Open MigraineMe.
2. Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen. A drawer slides in from the left.
3. Tap Data and Notifications.
4. Find the Notifications card.
5. Tap the switch next to Evening check-in so it turns off.
6. On Android, your phone may open its own notification settings for MigraineMe. If it does, turn off the Evening Check-in category there.

That is it. The 8 pm reminder will stop arriving, and everything else stays as it was.

Turning off all notifications instead

If you would rather not get any MigraineMe notifications at all, you can use the master switch in your phone's settings.

On iPhone

1. Leave MigraineMe.
2. Open the Settings app.
3. Tap Notifications.
4. Scroll down to MigraineMe and tap it.
5. Tap the switch next to Allow Notifications so it turns grey.

On Android

1. Leave MigraineMe.
2. Open the Settings app.
3. Tap Apps or Apps and notifications.
4. Find and tap MigraineMe.
5. Tap Notifications.
6. Turn off Show notifications or Allow notifications.

The 8 pm reminder will stop arriving, along with everything else. You can turn it all back on with the same steps.

If the reminder still arrives the next day

Notifications can sometimes take a little while to fully stop.

1. Wait until the day after you turn the switch off.
2. If you still hear it after that, close MigraineMe fully and open it again.
3. Restart your phone if the reminder is stubborn.

Doing the check-in without the reminder

You can still use the Daily Check-In. It is just not pushed to you anymore.

1. Open MigraineMe in the evening, whenever you remember.
2. Go to the Log tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Tap the Daily Check-In card.
4. Answer the few short questions and save.

You have full control. The check-in is there when you want it, and silent when you do not.

If you want other notifications but not this one

That is exactly what the in-app way above does. Each notification type in the Notifications card has its own switch, so you can turn the daily reminder off and keep risk alerts, recommendations, or anything else you find useful.
