Track migraines instantly with one simple tap. Used by thousands of migraine sufferers to quickly track attacks and identify triggers. Simple Migraine Tracker is a migraine diary designed for one reason: simplicity. Most migraine trackers require you to answer dozens of questions when you're already in pain. Simple Migraine Tracker automatically records the important details so you don't have to. When a migraine hits, all you need to do is tap once. Your phone already collects valuable data like weather, location, activity, and time of day. Simple Migraine Tracker uses this information to automatically build a powerful migraine log that helps you understand patterns and triggers. With one tap, Simple Migraine Tracker automatically: • Records the exact time of your migraine attack • Tracks patterns by time of day, day of week, and month • Records weather conditions including temperature and barometric pressure • Helps identify possible migraine triggers and patterns • Logs location to help identify environmental factors • Tracks fitness and activity levels to help understand stress • Syncs your migraine diary across all your devices Simple Migraine Tracker integrates with Apple Health (HealthKit) to analyze activity, heart rate, and other biometric signals that may correlate with migraine attacks. Your privacy is our priority. Your migraine records stay private and under your control. We do not sell your data.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Simple Migraine Tracker at 4.4 against Hydrator's 3.8. Simple Migraine Tracker also leads on ratings volume (53 vs 4). Hydrator's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (67% vs 48%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Simple Migraine Tracker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Hydrator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Simple Migraine Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Migraine Tracker has 53 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Simple Migraine Tracker's written reviews are positive against 67% of Hydrator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Simple Migraine Tracker ships an update every 3 weeks, Hydrator every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
