During an attack you should not be filling in forms. MigraineMe gives you one tap to log the moment, a voice and free-text check-in that sorts your words into triggers, prodromes, medicines and reliefs, and a head map for where it hurts.
Asked to recall a year, 2.9% of people said they had frequent headaches. Their own three-week diaries said 25.5%.
Krogh et al., J Headache Pain 2016The quick log strip sits on the home screen. Tap a favourite and it is logged with the time: Migraine, Trigger, Prodrome, Medicine or Relief. Add the detail later, or never. An attack logged with nothing but a timestamp still counts for every statistic in the app.
The evening check-in asks you to tell it about your day. Type or speak freely, keeping each thing separate. “Had red wine at dinner. Neck felt stiff. Took 2 ibuprofen. It helped a bit.” The app picks out the triggers, prodromes, medicines and reliefs it recognises and shows them as pills for you to confirm or drop.
The microphone is optional. Grant it and you get voice logging, the check-in by voice, and ambient noise tracking, which is a trigger in its own right.
When you have time, the full log lets you tap where the pain is on a front and back head map, log aura zones and how long each stage lasted, and pick symptoms from a list you manage yourself. Pain location and aura get their own breakdowns in the full report.
The Log tab holds all of it. Log Migraine is the guided entry: timing first, then a step where you type or speak the whole thing and the app pre-fills the rest of the log from your words, then symptoms, pain and where it sits on the head map, prodromes, triggers, medicines, reliefs, location, the activities you missed, and notes. Every step has a Skip. Under it sit the Daily Check-In, Food, and the quick-log strip.
Nothing beyond the app. The microphone is optional and only needed for voice. Watch apps for Garmin and Apple Watch put an attack into the same timeline as everything else, and a late entry lands on the day and time you give it, because the correlation engine works on timestamps rather than on when you typed.
Yes. MigraineMe has apps for Garmin and Apple Watch, and reads from Polar, Oura, WHOOP and Health Connect. Logging from the watch puts the attack in the same timeline as everything else.
Log the attack with the date and time you remember. The correlation engine works on timestamps, so a late entry still lands on the right day.
No. Calendar access is read-only and only what you confirm is kept.
