MigraSense is a free migraine tracker and headache diary that turns scattered bad days into patterns you can act on. Log an attack in seconds, track the triggers that matter, and walk into your next appointment with real data instead of a vague memory. If you have been looking for a migraine app that respects your time, this is it. No account, no subscription wall, no forty-field form when your head is already splitting — just a painless migraine tracker that stays out of your way. LOG AN ATTACK IN SECONDS A migraine and headache tracker is only useful if you actually use it mid-attack. MigraSense keeps logging to a few taps: Pain severity on a 0–10 scale Pain location — forehead, one side, back of head, or full head Start time, end time, and total duration Aura symptoms before or during the attack Nausea, light sensitivity, and sound sensitivity Free-text notes for anything else worth remembering A SYMPTOM TRACKER AND TRIGGER LOG IN ONE Migraine rarely has a single cause. Alongside the symptom tracker, MigraSense records the everyday factors that stack up before an attack: Sleep quality and hours slept Stress levels and mood Menstrual cycle and hormonal changes Caffeine, alcohol, hydration, and skipped meals Bright light, loud noise, strong scents, and smoke Weather changes AI INSIGHTS THAT FIND YOUR PATTERNS As an AI migraine tracker, MigraSense goes further than a plain calendar. Its algorithmic insights sift through your entries to surface the connections you are most likely to have missed, then explain them in plain language. Calendar view showing when and how often attacks happen Frequency and severity trends across weeks and months Correlations between your habits and your migraine days The triggers that keep showing up, ranked by how often they appear APPLE HEALTH INTEGRATION With your permission, MigraSense syncs with Apple Health for a fuller picture of what your body was doing beforehand: Sleep data Heart rate Step count and daily activity Every entry sits beside your health metrics, so "I think I slept badly" becomes something you can check.

Pro-Act reads your Apple Watch and iPhone biometrics and surfaces migraine patterns up to 48 hours ahead. Raw health data stays on your phone. No account required. WHAT PRO-ACT DOES EARLY SIGNALS Continuous analysis of HRV, sleep quality, resting heart rate, and barometric pressure, grounded in published migraine research. When the patterns match your migraine history, you get an early heads-up -- often 24-48 hours ahead. TRACKING WHEN IT HITS Fast logging during an active attack. Record intensity, duration, symptoms, and triggers. The more you log, the sharper your pattern picture gets. PATTERN DISCOVERY After enough data, Pro-Act surfaces what's actually behind your attacks. Weather. Sleep. Specific HRV signatures. The patterns that have been hiding in your data the whole time. 5-4-3-2-1 GROUNDING ROUTINE When risk spikes, Pro-Act guides you through a five-step grounding routine. Specific, named, behavioral. Something to do, not something to feel. PRIVACY-FOCUSED BY DESIGN Raw biometric data stays on your device. On supported iPhones, risk analysis runs fully on-device with Apple Intelligence; otherwise an aggregated summary -- never raw health samples -- is sent securely for analysis. No account required.
