Understand your migraines. Anticipate higher-risk periods. Feel more prepared. MigraineCast combines weather forecasts, migraine tracking, optional Apple Health signals, and personal insights. Log symptoms, triggers, medications, severity, notes, stress, hydration, outcomes, migraine-free days, and local weather context; log hands-free with Siri. UNDERSTAND YOUR MIGRAINES Find recurring patterns and explore whether pressure, sleep, humidity, cycle context, stress, or other signals appear around migraine days. Compare suspected causes with your history. YOUR RISK, WITH MORE CONTEXT See pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind changes; optional Apple Health sleep, heart-rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate, and menstrual-flow context; plus your logged stress, hydration, and cycle context. Personal associations become clearer as you log migraine and migraine-free days. With enough Apple Health data, Body Strain compares recent sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate with your recent baseline to inform current risk context and selected near-term forecasts. Risk estimates help you notice patterns and prepare; they cannot predict a migraine. PLAN YOUR DAY WITH CONFIDENCE Migraine Safe Day Planner identifies lower-risk times for important activities, with low-, moderate-, and high-risk blocks, support for meetings, travel, workouts, and daily commitments, and recommendations based on your risk context and history. PREVENTION ALERTS Enable notifications for elevated-risk periods, personalized risk context, weather monitoring, early warnings, suggested protective actions, and alerts from available weather, health, and personal-history signals. TRACK WHAT SEEMS TO HELP Review medications that appear most helpful, recorded changes in duration and severity, timing patterns, and confidence that grows as you log outcomes. GET SUPPORT DURING AN ATTACK Emergency Mode provides context-based relief suggestions, medication and hydration reminders, previously successful actions, an active-migraine timer, and a history-based duration estimate when enough attacks are complete. YOUR RISK AT A GLANCE Current risk context, weather forecasts, Home Screen widgets, Apple Watch companion app, trigger and risk monitoring, and insights that develop over time. PREMIUM FEATURES Personal trigger analysis; Migraine Safe Day Planner; prevention alerts; medication-effectiveness insights; duration estimates; monthly PDF reports; Weather Lab; Trigger Radar; 24-hour and 7-day forecasts; menstrual-cycle tracking; protective recommendations; Trigger Library; Siri forecasting and migraine logging.

Stop guessing your triggers. Start predicting them. Living with migraines is chaos. Tracking them shouldn't be. Haven is the intelligent companion designed to help you find calm in the storm. We combine a photophobia-friendly Attack Mode with powerful AI Trigger Discovery to reveal the hidden patterns behind your pain—hormones, weather, sleep, and more. WHY HAVEN IS DIFFERENT: Most apps feel like spreadsheets. Haven feels like relief. It’s designed for the moment you are in pain (dark, simple, 1-tap) and the moment you are well (insightful, proactive). KEY FEATURES: 1-Tap Attack Mode Designed for photophobia. A pitch-black OLED interface with massive buttons lets you log an attack in seconds without hurting your eyes. AI Trigger Discovery Our engine analyzes 37+ factors (sleep, weather, food, stress) to find your personal triggers. Trigger Map: See what increases your risk. Protector Map: Discover habits that keep you pain-free. Cycle Syncing & Hormones 60% of migraines are hormonal. Haven automatically correlates your attacks with your menstrual cycle phases (Follicular, Ovulatory, Luteal) to predict hormonal peaks. Sage: Your AI Companion Chat with Sage to understand your data. "How does rain affect my migraines?" or "Show me my medication usage." Sage observes patterns and asks the right questions—never prescribing, just guiding. METICULOUS TRACKING: Weather & Barometer: Auto-alerts when pressure drops significantly. 8-Zone Head Map: Log exact pain locations (behind eyes, neck, temples). Smart Prodrome: Track early warning signs like yawning or cravings. Doctor Reports: Generate PDF reports with your MIDAS score for your neurologist.
