Read full descriptionHide full description
Headmon is a private headache and migraine diary designed to keep sensitive records under your control. No account is required, and the app has no advertising, third-party analytics or developer-operated cloud diary. It is your data, your choice. Record what happened: - Headache, migraine and aura-only episodes - Timing, severity, symptoms, notes and stress - Medicines, doses, effects and possible triggers - Pain-free and skipped days - Optional photos and local weather context See the bigger picture: - Week and month calendar views - Headache-free and migraine-free streaks - Trigger, medicine, timing and weather patterns - PDF reports and self-assessment summaries - CSV, calendar and complete backup exports Headmon also supports reminders, widgets, Live Activities, Control Center, Shortcuts and Siri. Optional low-stimulation mode and migraine auto-dim make the app gentler to use during an episode. Your working diary is stored on your device. Complete and calendar backups let you keep a private copy or move data between Android and iOS without a Headmon cloud service. Complete backups can include photos and weather history. Optional weather requests send approximate coordinates to Open-Meteo. Diary content is never included in those requests. Headmon is an informational diary and pattern-viewing tool. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition and is not a replacement for professional medical advice or emergency care.

Scintillating scotoma's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
