## What is Throb?

Log a migraine in one tap, even mid-attack, on a dark screen that won't hurt your eyes. Throb is a private migraine and headache diary you pay for once: no subscription, no account, no ads.

ABOUT THROB
Throb is a migraine and headache tracker for iPhone (iOS 18 or later) with an Apple Watch app. It is made for people with frequent or chronic migraine who need a reliable headache diary for themselves and for their doctor or neurologist. Everything is stored on the device; nothing is sent to the developer.

LOGGING
• Start an attack with one tap from the app, the Lock Screen widget, Control Center, the Action Button, Siri ("Log a migraine in Throb") or Apple Watch.
• Attack mode is a dark, low-light screen. Tap the pain level as it changes to draw a pain-over-time curve, and log every dose.
• Record where it hurts on a head map, plus symptoms, triggers, aura and prodrome, relief methods and notes.
• Whole-day entries for daily or continuous headache, with no start or end time.
• "Feeling one coming" notes early warning signs before the pain starts.
• Log medication doses taken outside an attack, including preventives.

FOR YOUR DOCTOR
• Doctor report PDF: headache days, attacks, duration, peak pain, acute-medication days, how often each medication helped and its median time to relief, MIDAS disability score and the HIT-6 questionnaire.
• A monthly count of acute-medication days, shown as information, never as an alarm.

INSIGHTS
• Calendar heat map, trends and a searchable list of every attack.
• Co-occurrence: which triggers and symptoms show up with your attacks. Patterns only, never claimed causes.
• Preventive treatment check: headache days per 30 days before versus since you started a preventive, with optional reminders from daily tablets to injections every few weeks.
• Barometric pressure trend from the iPhone's own barometer, optional alerts on sharp drops, and an optional pressure forecast from Apple Weather.

DATA AND PRIVACY
• Works fully offline. No account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, no ads.
• Optional iCloud sync through your own private iCloud database.
• Optional Apple Health: reads sleep and menstrual cycle, writes headache events.
• Automatic local backups with restore, plus CSV and JSON export.
• Import from a Migraine Buddy CSV export or a headache spreadsheet.
• Face ID lock.

PRICE
Free: logging, attack mode, full history, calendar, search, backups, iCloud sync, export, Face ID lock and a doctor report for the last 30 days.
One-time purchase, no subscription: doctor reports for any date range and all insights.

LANGUAGES
20 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Arabic, Dutch, Turkish, Polish, Swedish, Hindi, Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese.

WHAT THROB IS NOT
Throb does not diagnose, predict or treat migraine and is not a medical device. It records what you log so that you and your clinician can see the pattern. No streaks, no gamification, no community feed, no notification spam.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-30

The biggest Throb update yet.

• Apple Watch app: start an attack, set the pain level and log a dose from your wrist
• Start an attack from Control Center or the Action Button
• Preventive treatment: start date, optional reminders, and headache days before vs. since you started
• Insights: what shows up with your attacks, and how well and how fast each medication works
• Attack details: pain curve with every dose, editable times, time to relief
• "Feeling one coming…" and whole headache-day entries for daily pain
• Doses taken outside an attack now count, including preventives
• Doctor report adds HIT-6, medication response and missed-work days
• Pressure trend on Home, optional sharp-drop alerts and an optional pressure forecast
• Optional iCloud sync between your devices
• Import from Migraine Buddy or a spreadsheet, and a searchable attack list
• A calmer design and a clearer first run

Your data is always free: logging, history, backups, sync, export and a 30-day doctor report. A one-time purchase unlocks reports for any range and the insights. Still no subscription, no account, no ads.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-21

Throb now speaks your language — properly.

Not just translated buttons. Your history reads natively: durations in the form your language actually uses ("3 Std. 12 Min." in German, not "3h 12m"), medications under their local names and scripts, and every symptom, trigger and relief item localized — right through to the doctor report.

The part we're quietly proud of: underneath, everything stays stored in canonical English. Your logs, exports and reports stay stable and comparable whichever language you read them in, so the PDF you hand your neurologist never breaks.

Also in this release:
• Restore purchase now tells you what actually happened — restored, nothing to restore, or couldn't reach the App Store. No more silent taps.
• A direct link to the privacy policy in Settings.
• Weather context has been retired. The barometer stays, so pressure is still recorded with every attack — and Throb now never asks for your location at all.

Still one purchase. Still fully offline. Still no account, no ads, no subscription.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-01
