Migrania is a private migraine diary: log your episodes and medication, see your own data as charts, and export a PDF to bring to an appointment. It does not diagnose, treat, prevent, or predict migraines. For medical questions, please talk to your doctor. Keep a simple record of your episodes and the details you want to remember: • When an episode started and how long it lasted • How the pain felt and where • Medication you noted down SEE YOUR OWN DATA The Insights screen turns your entries into clear charts: timing, duration, pain, and medication across the time ranges you choose. It is simply your own data, shown back to you, so you can notice whatever you want to notice. EXPORT WHEN YOU WANT Create a PDF of your diary to keep for yourself or to share with whomever you choose, for example to bring along to an appointment. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your entries stay on your device, or in your own iCloud if you turn on sync. Nobody else can read them, including us. Optional analytics, if you ever choose to turn it on, never includes what you write. Migrania is here to help you remember and reflect. The rest is between you and your doctor.

About

MigrainePulse Tracker

Features
Read full description

MigrainePulse Tracker helps you record migraine and headache episodes with the details that matter to your journal: your own trigger wording, severity, duration, pain location, and notes. Log privately in the moment, review your complete saved history on a real monthly episode calendar, and select any marked date to revisit its entries. The calendar marks only dates with saved episodes; an unmarked date does not represent a pain-free record. The saved-entry severity trend plots one dot for every saved episode in chronological order. It adds no points for dates without entries and preserves multiple entries from the same day. All-time entry summaries show counts, averages, and transparent trigger associations such as “Weather front • 3 of 6 tagged entries.” Small samples are clearly qualified, and every summary reflects only the entries you save for personal review. No account is required, and there are no ads, external analytics, or network dependencies. Your entries stay local on device, with optional Apple Health writes for new entries: headache severity and duration only after you connect it in Settings. The first release is free and focused on a private, local migraine journal.
