HeadEase is the calm, private headache and migraine diary that helps you understand your pain and finally see the patterns behind it. Whether you live with chronic migraine, tension headaches, cluster attacks or the occasional bad day, HeadEase makes it effortless to log every attack and turn months of scattered memories into clear, doctor-ready insight. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE HEADEASE - A genuinely private migraine tracker: every entry stays on your device, with no account and no sign-up required. - A low-glare, gentle design built for light-sensitive eyes, so logging never makes an attack worse. - A complete headache diary that captures intensity, duration, symptoms, suspected triggers and the medication you took. - Real insight, not just numbers: discover your most common triggers, your worst times of day and what relief actually works. LOG AN ATTACK IN SECONDS Start a headache log with one tap, or run a live timer for an ongoing attack and end it when the pain lifts. Record pain intensity on a 1 to 10 scale, choose the headache type, and tap the symptoms you feel: aura, nausea, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, dizziness, blurred vision and more. Add the triggers you suspect, from stress and poor sleep to dehydration, skipped meals, weather, hormones, screen time and certain foods. TRACK MEDICATION AND RELIEF Note exactly which medication you took and whether it gave no relief, some relief or full relief. Over time HeadEase shows you how well your treatments are working, so you and your doctor can make better decisions about acute and preventive care. SEE YOUR PATTERNS The Insights tab turns your headache diary into beautiful, easy-to-read charts: attack frequency over the last weeks, average intensity and duration, your most common triggers and symptoms, a time-of-day pattern, a day-of-week pattern and a calendar heatmap of every headache day. Track your current and longest headache-free streak to stay motivated between attacks. A DOCTOR-READY MIGRAINE REPORT With one tap, export a clean PDF report of your attacks, intensities, durations and triggers to share with your neurologist or GP. It is the simplest way to make appointments more productive and get the care you deserve. GENTLE MEDICATION REMINDERS Set local reminders for your preventive medication so you never miss a dose. Everything works offline, with no push server and no data ever leaving your phone. PERFECT FOR - People with chronic migraine who need a reliable migraine diary - Anyone tracking tension headaches or cluster headaches - Patients preparing a headache log for a neurology appointment - Anyone who wants a private, offline headache tracker with no subscription PRIVATE AND OFFLINE BY DESIGN HeadEase never asks you to create an account. Your headache history is stored only on your device and you can export or back it up whenever you like. Please note: HeadEase is a personal tracking aid and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your headaches and migraines. Download HeadEase today and start turning your headaches into clear, calm, actionable insight.
