Most doctors would find it difficult to discuss dietary recommendations at the level of detail found in the series. They should serve as a valuable complement in helping people manage chronic illnesses through dietary and lifestyle modifications.” Andrew S. Lenhardt, MD Lahey Clinic, Beverly, MA

About

MigrainePhase

Features
Read full description

Complete migraine-cycle tracking, from early warning signs through recovery. Most headache diaries record the pain hours. MigrainePhase records the whole event — prodrome, aura, headache, postdrome — so you and your doctor see what a migraine actually costs, and where your personal patterns hide. LOG AN ATTACK IN ONE TAP Press the button and it's recorded. No forms, no questions. Add pain level, symptoms, aura type, and medication later if you want — a record that only says when it started is still a real record. BUILT FOR MIGRAINE DAYS When an attack starts, the app can dim your screen below the system minimum and remove blue light. Everything non-essential disappears. Nothing interrupts you while you're logging. Ever. SEE YOUR PERSONAL PATTERNS Daily check-ins make your warning signs findable. Over time, MigrainePhase shows which signs tend to come before your attacks and how far in advance — described in plain sentences as possible patterns, never as medical conclusions. MEDICATION, HONESTLY TRACKED Log doses in one tap, or write any drug name in. Record how long after a dose your headache eased. See which medications helped, in how many of your recorded attacks, and keep an eye on monthly acute-treatment days. WEATHER, IN CONTEXT Optional barometric pressure tracking notes the pressure at each attack's onset, so pressure-drop associations show up in your own data. A REPORT YOUR DOCTOR CAN USE One tap builds a clinically structured PDF: headache days, migraine vs non-migraine, severity, per-attack treatment and time to relief, aura types, and observed associations — with honest notes on what is recorded versus inferred. YOURS, PRIVATELY No account. No cloud. Works fully offline. Your record lives on your phone and leaves only when you export it. MigrainePhase is a tracking tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or predict. Discuss your patterns with your healthcare professional. MigrainePhase Pro unlocks full history, pattern analysis, and doctor reports. Free logging is never limited. MigrainePhase Pro is an auto-renewing subscription: US$4.99 per month or US$29.99 per year. Your local price is shown before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings.
