We tell you before the pressure drops.
As your logs build up, compare days with a noticeable drop against the rest.
■ Counts, not predictions
Hekto splits the days since you started logging (up to 90) by whether the pressure fell 4 hPa or more within six hours:
“Days the pressure fell 4 hPa or more in 6 hours: unwell on 9 of 18”
“Days it didn't fall that far: unwell on 11 of 52”
“Unwell” means an unwell log that day or the next. A line says if the share was higher, lower or not clearly different on drop days; no clear difference is a result too.
It is a count, not a forecast, and it's free. Pro adds counts by size of drop, for rises and for 24-hour swings.
■ Alerts
Alerts come the evening before and the morning of a drop, at your chosen sensitivity, with an optional heads-up 1, 2, 3 or 6 hours before.
With Pro, “From your own logs” uses a 4 hPa drop in six hours if the share was higher on drop days.
“Alerts and your logs” in Report counts unwell days with and without an alert.
■ One tap on a hard day
Pick a face. The pressure at that moment is saved with it.
“Add details” adds symptoms, medication, a note, or a past date up to 30 days back. Optional: tags (stress, caffeine and more) and a phone barometer reading.
No log yesterday? Today asks “How was yesterday?”
■ Medication counter
It counts your headache-medication days over the last 30, against the “overuse” limits in ICHD-3 (the international headache classification): 15+ days a month for painkillers, or 10+ for triptans and similar, for over three months.
■ Warning signs and a doctor summary
Some symptom combinations bring up a screen suggesting you see a doctor, based on published, general guidance, not an examination.
“Summary for your doctor” in Report shows the last 90 days in 30-day blocks, to show or share at your visit.
All free. We never lock anything related to safety.
■ No ads
We will not shrink the free tier later.

■ Please read
Hekto is not a medical device.
It does not find illness, and it does not decide treatment.
For decisions about your health or treatment, talk to a medical professional.
Do not skip an appointment, or change what your doctor told you, because of something Hekto showed.
