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.

SereneHead is a calm migraine tracker built for attacks, not streaks. Log by voice, one tap, or a form — then see patterns, pressure context, and the data your doctor actually wants. LOG YOUR WAY Voice — Tap, speak for up to 60 seconds, and SereneHead extracts severity, symptoms, triggers, medications, and relief methods automatically. No typing required. Quick Log — One tap starts an active attack with a sensible default. Add detail later when you feel better. Form — A clean, editable entry when you'd rather type it out. DESIGNED FOR MID-ATTACK USE Mark an attack active, then close it with one tap when it passes. Optional gentle reminders at 2, 12, and 24 hours — never guilt, just a nudge. Edit anything later: severity, timing, medications with dose and what's actually helping, pain locations, triggers, symptoms, relief methods, and notes. TREATMENT TRACKING Log preventive and ongoing medications separately from attacks. Track dose, frequency, and start/end dates. Treatments appear in your journal timeline alongside attacks. BAROMETRIC PRESSURE CONTEXT A barometric pressure chart with plain-language summaries — context you can share with your doctor, not claims about your next attack. A home card shows the pressure trend at a glance, and an optional morning summary keeps you informed. Works without location sharing if you prefer. HONEST INSIGHTS Trend dashboards covering attack frequency, severity, duration, day-of-week and time-of-day patterns, top triggers and symptoms, and what's actually helping you — medications and relief methods ranked by your own data. Preventive treatment effectiveness with clear "limited data" disclosures when the numbers are thin. DOCTOR PREP REPORT Generate a clean PDF of your attacks and treatments over any date range. Share it directly from the app. Optional patient name and date of birth fields. Skip the night-before scramble before every appointment. AI SUMMARY An observational summary covering what stands out, notes for your doctor, notes for yourself, and curated tips. Question-oriented and never diagnostic. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your data lives on your device. Optional encrypted sync via Sign in with Apple or Google. No ads. No data sales. Ever. MIGRAINE BUDDY IMPORT Bring your history with you. Import your Migraine Buddy CSV export with duplicate-safe tracking, preview every row, and pick up where you left off. MAKE IT YOURS Customize attack form sections, item lists, and medication options. Customize treatment names, dosages, and frequencies. Six color themes with dark mode, alternate app icons, pressure units, temperature units, and time format. ACCESSIBILITY VoiceOver labels, Dynamic Type, and large tap targets throughout. PRO UNLOCKS Unlimited voice logging (free: 5 logs) · Full journal history · AI Summary · Extended Insights & Report ranges (90 days, 1 year, all time, custom) · Multi-day pressure view (free: today + tomorrow) Disclaimer: SereneHead is a personal wellness tracker for informational purposes only.
