Migraine Tap
Read full descriptionHide full description
Migraine hit? Tap one button. That's it. Migraine Tap lives on your home screen as an interactive widget. When pain strikes, you don't open an app, navigate menus, or answer 15 questions. You tap a single button. Your attack is logged with the exact time, weather conditions, barometric pressure, and sleep data โ automatically. No other migraine tracker works this fast. WHAT MAKES MIGRAINE TAP DIFFERENT Most migraine apps want you to fill out a form during an attack. That's like asking someone to write an essay while their head is splitting open. We took the opposite approach: you tap, we handle the rest. Your home screen widget has 4 buttons โ Attack, Coffee, Trigger, Sleep. One tap logs everything. The app silently collects weather pressure, sleep quality from Apple Health, and builds your personal trigger profile over time. FEATURES YOUR DOCTOR WILL LOVE - Doctor-Ready PDF Report: Hand your neurologist a clean, structured report. Attack calendar, trigger correlations, medication effectiveness, barometric pressure patterns โ all on one page. No more scribbling on paper diaries. - Trigger Correlation Engine: After enough data, the app reveals which triggers actually matter for YOU. "Your attacks are 2.3x more likely after less than 6 hours of sleep." Real patterns, not guesses. - Barometric Pressure Tracking: Weather changes are a top migraine trigger. The app automatically logs pressure data for every attack and shows you the connection. WeatherKit + Open-Meteo for worldwide accuracy. TRACK EVERYTHING, TAP ALMOST NOTHING - Interactive Home Screen Widget: 4 customizable buttons, always one tap away - Lock Screen Widget & Live Activity: Track attack duration without unlocking your phone - Medication Tracking: Log acute, preventive, and supplement medications with effectiveness ratings - Head Map: Tap where it hurts on an interactive head silhouette โ 11 zones, 1-10 intensity - Aura Tracking: 6 aura types (visual, sensory, speech, motor, brainstem, retinal) - Sleep Correlation: Automatic sleep data from Apple Health โ see how rest affects your attacks - Dark Mode Only: Designed for light-sensitive eyes. No bright screens during an attack. BUILT FOR YOUR PRIVACY All your health data stays on your device. No account required. No cloud upload unless you choose iCloud sync. Full CSV and JSON export โ your data is always yours. GDPR compliant. 7-DAY FREE TRIAL Try every feature free for 7 days. After that, the widget and basic logging stay free forever. Pro unlocks correlations, doctor reports, medication tracking, and more. - Monthly: $6.99/month - Yearly: $29.99/year (save 64%) AVAILABLE IN 12 LANGUAGES English, German, French, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish. WHAT PEOPLE SAY "Finally a migraine app that doesn't interrogate me during an attack." "I showed the PDF report to my neurologist and she said it was the best patient diary she'd ever seen." "The weather correlation feature alone is worth the subscription." โ Have questions or feedback?
