The Daily Check-In is a gentle review of your day. It takes about two or three minutes. You do not have to fill in every step. Skip anything you do not feel like answering.
Same on iPhone and Android
- Open the app.
- Tap the Log tab at the bottom of the screen.
- Below the big "Log Migraine" card, look for a smaller card titled Daily Check-In. The subtitle reads "Review your day".
- Tap the card. A full-screen window opens.
If you do not see the Daily Check-In card, scroll down a little inside the Log tab. It sits just under the big purple "Log Migraine" card.
You may also see a notification on your phone in the evening (around 8pm) that says it is time to check in. Tap the notification and the same screen opens.
There is a small (i) icon at the top right of the Daily Check-In card. Tap it for a quick summary of what the check-in covers.
How many steps?
The number of steps changes based on your day. You will always see the core ones (the note, your triggers, prodromes, medicines, reliefs, activities and missed activities). A few extra steps appear only when relevant:
- A From your calendar step appears only if you have connected your phone's calendar.
- A Migraine update and a Postdrome step appear only if you have an open (unfinished) migraine. They ask how the attack is going and how you are feeling now, and what you tap gets linked to that migraine.
- A side effects step appears once per active treatment you have on the go, so you can note anything new.
A progress bar at the top fills as you move through. The title above the bar tells you which step you are on, for example "Evening Check-in — 3 of 8".
Step 1: Tell us about your day
- You will see a big text box under the heading Tell us about your day, with the hint "Type or speak freely — keep each thing separate so we can match it accurately".
- Type a few sentences. For example: "I had a sore head this afternoon after lunch. I took my tablet and lay down for an hour."
- If you would rather speak than type, tap the Voice button and say it out loud. Your words are added to the box when you finish.
- When the box has text in it, the next button reads Match & continue. Tap it. The app reads your sentences, highlights any triggers, medicines, or reliefs it noticed, and moves you on. You will see a line like "Found 3 matches — added to review". If the box is empty, the button simply reads Skip.
From your calendar (only if connected)
This step shows anything from your phone's calendar today (meetings, travel, social plans) that the app has already added as suggestions. Anything that does not belong, tap Undo to remove it, or Never suggest again to stop that event title coming back. If an event fits as a trigger, it may also ask how strong that trigger is for you.
Migraine update and Postdrome (only when relevant)
If you have an unfinished migraine, you will see a Migraine update page to adjust how the attack is going, and a Postdrome page where you can tap any recovery symptoms that match how you feel now. These get linked back to the migraine they belong to.
Triggers, Prodromes, Medicines, Reliefs, Activities, Missed
Each of these gets its own page. You will see your favourites first, then the rest. Anything matched from your note is already ticked, so you just confirm or adjust. Tap anything else that applied today, then tap Next. Skip any page you have nothing to add to. The last of these pages, Anything you didn't do?, is for things you skipped or cancelled.
Side effects (one page per treatment)
For each active treatment you are on, you get a short page asking whether you felt any side effects today. Tap any that apply and write a short note if you want. Tap Next.
Review and save
The final page shows a tidy summary of everything you tapped. Glance over it, fix anything that looks wrong, and tap Save. You will see "Check-in saved!".
A few habits that help
- Doing the check-in at the same time each day makes the data more useful.
- It is fine to do it in bed before sleep.
- You can save with very little in it (even just the note text). Anything is better than nothing.
