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.
