A calmer way to track migraines. When screens hurt, just speak. MigraPulse turns your voice into a private journal of how you're feeling — symptoms, triggers, severity — in your own words, on your own device. — What's new — • Calm Mode — automatically softens the app during a migraine: improved greyscale visuals. • Smarter Trends — time-of-day patterns, common triggers, and a Monthly Wrapped recap of your month in plain language. • Symptom-free days — log a clean day in one tap to see the full picture more clearly. • Typed log improvements — clickable 1–10 severity, Yes/No follow-ups, and a faster path if you don't want to use your voice. • Chat style logging — even more conversational. • Auto listening — no need to click to speak, just listen for the chime. • Refreshed onboarding, a new app icon, and a subtle visual refresh throughout. — What you can do — • Log a migraine in seconds — by voice or by tapping through a few short questions • Track symptoms, severity (1–10), triggers, medications, and duration • Log symptom-free days to balance out your picture • See trends over time — frequency, time of day, common triggers, monthly summaries • Export everything as PDF, CSV, or JSON any time — Designed for screen-pain — Big touch targets. Soft amber light. Optional dark and Calm modes. Voice-first input that doesn't ask you to read or type during the worst moments. Real haptics, real care. — Your data, your control — • No account needed • All entries stay on your device • Voice is converted to text — audio is never recorded • Speech is processed on-device when possible, otherwise via Apple's encrypted speech service • Export your data anytime, in formats specialists can open • Delete anything, whenever you want • Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock MigraPulse helps you understand your own migraine patterns. It is a personal journal, not a diagnostic or treatment tool. For medical concerns, always consult a healthcare professional. Always free to track.

One thought is enough. OneThought is a small, private journal that lives on your iPhone. Open it, write a sentence, close it. The rest is for you. QUIETLY INTELLIGENT Daily prompts and weekly reflections are written on-device by Apple Foundation Models. Your text never reaches a server. Pick a tone — gentle, direct, or poetic — and the prompts (and the panda's voice) shift to match. SUGGESTIONS FROM YOUR PHOTOS OneThought clusters your photos into real moments — events with location, count, and time-range — and offers each one as a starting point for an entry. Tap a card and the editor opens with the photos already attached and the title pre-filled. Pull-to-refresh cycles through five different lenses (Recommended, Most photos, Newest, Favorites first, Surprise me) so the same library always feels fresh. Refresh three times and OneThought widens the time scope automatically — the panda lets you know. STORY MODE Tap the blue-glass card on Reflections to play your journal as a 9-scene narrated reel. Streak, words, places, dominant mood, top theme, photo collage. Numbers count up, the panda flies in from a different edge each scene. Every metric is clamped to your real calendar — no inflated streaks. PLACES Apple-Photos-style circular pins on the map. Each pin shows a hero photo from that place with a count badge for clusters. Filter by year. Tap to see what happened there. WEEKLY REFLECTION Each week the on-device model weaves your entries into a quiet summary. Mood chart, 12-month activity heatmap, themes word cloud, current and longest streak. Always optional, always editable. A SMALL PANDA A mascot peeks from the right edge of every screen. Tap it for a contextual line. Its voice follows your prompt tone. Auto-tucks back so it never covers content. The Calendar tab is here. Browse your timeline day by day. Every day in your Suggestions scope is laid out as a real photo card from your library, so it actually looks like the time you've lived. Tap any day to see your entries, your suggested moments, and a one-tap shortcut to write for that day — even if it's already passed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OneThought at none against MigraPulse's 2. OneThought also leads on update cadence (daily vs monthly). MigraPulse's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
