Using simple, actionable techniques that are science-based and field-tested with CEOs, the Positive Intelligence Program enables you to build new mental muscles quickly and profoundly. The Positive Intelligence Program is a powerful blended learning experience consisting of seven live video sessions with Shirzad Chamine combined with daily practice and personalized coaching delivered via the Positive Intelligence smartphone app and the support of an online peer community. This ensures that learning is reinforced and cemented. Participants in the Positive Intelligence Program can expect to experience immediate and sustained improvements in their performance and happiness, including: • A more positive and adaptive mindset • Increased resilience • Greater emotional mastery • Reduced stress responses • Enhanced creativity • Greater empathy • Increased skilfulness in leadership and coaching others • Improved professional and personal relationships
Megrim

Smart migraine tracking that stays on your device. Megrim is an open-source, offline-first migraine diary that helps you find your personal triggers. The app automatically adds time-of-day, season, daylight, and moon context to your entries — and, if you opt in, local weather and barometric pressure — calculating correlations entirely on your device. With no accounts, no cloud servers, and zero tracking, your health data stays completely private and under your control. What's inside: • Automatic on-device enrichment — daylight hours, time of day, season, and moon phase computed locally; opt in to add local weather and barometric-pressure change (24h/48h). No manual entry. • Real personal analytics — trends by day-of-week, time-of-day, season, daylight, pressure change, and moon phase, plus a "suspected factors" card that uses odds ratios over your own log. • Your data stays yours — on-device storage only, with full export and import (JSON and CSV). • No accounts, no servers, no telemetry — by default the app makes no automatic network requests (the only exception is the place-name search you type when setting your home location). Weather enrichment is opt-in; when enabled, the only network request is to Open-Meteo.com, to fetch weather for the approximate (~1 km rounded) location and date of the entries you create. • Free and open source (GPL-3.0-or-later). Megrim is a personal diary and is NOT a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. "Suspected factors" are statistical associations in your own log — association is not causation. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional. Weather data by Open-Meteo.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Megrim at none against Positive Intelligence's 1. Megrim also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
