A headache diary that isn't annoying. Your doctor said "keep a headache diary." You downloaded three apps. One wanted your email, your age, your sleep schedule, and a monthly subscription before you could log a single headache. One had so many fields it gave you a headache. One crashed. You just wanted to write down that your head hurts. HOW IT WORKS 1. Slide your intensity (0-10) 2. Tap where it hurts (forehead, temples, behind eyes, top of head, back of head, one side, neck, or all over) 3. Add a note if you want 4. Save That's it. No sign-up, no account, no onboarding quiz. WHAT YOU GET - Intensity scale from 0 to 10. Colour-coded categories: None, Mild, Moderate, Severe, Worst. - 8 head locations specific to where headaches actually happen. - History grouped by day. Spot patterns your doctor will actually find useful. - Trend charts for intensity and frequency over 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, or all time. - Doctor-ready PDF export. One tap. - Apple Watch companion app. Log from your wrist when a migraine hits. - iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. - Large, clear interface designed for people who are already in pain. No subscription. No ads. No account required. Your data stays on your device and in your personal iCloud account. We don't have servers. There is nothing to sell.

About

A migraine diary you can still use during a migraine. Three taps: tap the intensity, tap your medication, done. After the very first tap the attack is saved – everything else can be added later, when you feel better. WHAT THE APP DOES WITH IT β€’ Pressure radar (new, free): shows the air pressure where you are for today and tomorrow, and warns you the evening before a strong weather change. Over time you see whether weather changes really trigger your attacks. β€’ Trigger analysis: compares your days with and without each factor – including next-day effects, as is typical for red wine and lack of sleep. A factor is only rated once there are enough days. No premature claims. β€’ Medication monitor: counts your medication days by the 10-day rule – triptans and combination drugs from 10 days, simple painkillers from 15 days a month – and warns in time, before painkillers start causing headaches themselves. β€’ Doctor’s report as PDF: headache days and medication days per month, pain intensity, duration, accompanying symptoms and every single attack. Exactly the numbers asked for at the appointment. β€’ Cycle analysis: detects a menstrual migraine, which is treated differently. β€’ Calendar: one glance shows where attacks cluster. β€’ Effectiveness: which of your medications actually helps you. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE No account, no ads, no tracking. Your diary never leaves the device; only for the optional pressure radar is a rounded coordinate sent to the weather service. The report is created on the device – you decide who gets it. FREE, PERMANENTLY Logging attacks, the daily check-in, the calendar and the medication monitor with the 10-day rule stay free without limits. A diary that stops you from logging would be pointless. MIGRAINE DIARY PRO Weekly, monthly, yearly (3-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Unlocks the trigger analysis, the doctor’s report, the cycle analysis and the effectiveness analysis. This app is a diary, not a medical device. It does not diagnose and does not replace medical treatment. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
