Find what's actually driving your attacks — and get the data to prove it. Attacks blur together. There's no clean baseline to compare against, no obvious culprit, and no way to tell whether the wine, the weather, or the bad night of sleep was the one that did it. Most migraine apps are glorified diaries — you log the attack and the data goes nowhere. Migraine Help is a trigger-finding app first. TRIGGERS DON'T HIT ALONE — THEY STACK Rarely is it one thing. It's a pressure drop on top of short sleep on top of a cycle day. Migraine Help tracks how those loads pile up over time and shows which combinations precede your attacks — with honest confidence levels, so you know what's real and what's still a maybe. THE LIST GETS SHORTER, NOT LONGER Every attack is compared against your own non-attack days. That means suspects get cleared, not just added. Test one variable at a time and let the data confirm or rule it out, instead of cutting things out forever on a hunch. BAROMETRIC PRESSURE THAT ACTUALLY HELPS Pressure is the biggest driver for a lot of people. Migraine Help tracks it hour by hour and flags incoming shifts days ahead — proof your body isn't reacting for no reason. DOCTOR-READY REPORTS IN ONE TAP Headache days, identified triggers with confidence levels, hormonal patterns, medication effectiveness — a clean PDF your neurologist can read in 30 seconds. Useful for appointments, and for the documentation preventive treatments require. BUILT FOR THE MIDDLE OF A MIGRAINE One tap from the lock screen opens straight to a pain slider. Log a checkpoint, mark whether meds helped, done. WORKS WITHOUT A CYCLE Menopause, hysterectomy, pregnancy, postpartum, birth control — when cycle data isn't there, the engine leans harder on sleep, heart rate, and pressure. WHAT MIGRAINE HELP TRACKS Trigger correlation with honest confidence levels Trigger stacking and daily load Barometric pressure forecasts — incoming shifts, not just current readings Cycle phase and hormonal patterns Sleep, heart rate, HRV, and wrist temperature via Apple Health Medication effectiveness over time Payment charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in App Store account settings.

Cognius helps you understand yourself. Take short personality and relationship tests, get a reading written from your own answers — not a score, but plain words about the way you actually live — and talk it through with a guide who remembers what you found. Private, thoughtful and never judgmental. Key Features: Tests That Read You Attachment style, stress responses, communication, empathy and more — over forty tests in the catalogue. Answer honestly; Cognius reads carefully. Your Reading, One Card at a Time Every result arrives as a deck of cards: one honest observation at a time, with room to say "that's me" or "not quite". A Guide Who Remembers Talk through what you found — by typing or by voice. Your guide keeps the thread: what you discovered, what you corrected, what is still open. Every conversation builds on the last. The Map of You Seven sides of you, each opening through a test or one honest conversation. Watch the picture fill in over time. Private on Your Screen No scores on your lock screen and no test names in notifications. What arrives on your screen stays yours. Why Cognius? Most tests hand you a label and leave. Cognius starts where the label ends: it explains what your answers mean for your relationships, your work and your days, and then stays in the conversation for as long as you want to keep going. Privacy First: Your answers and conversations are stored securely and processed by AI to write your reading and power your guide — with your consent, disclosed up front. Nothing is sold and nothing is shared for advertising. You can delete your account in the app at any time, and request erasure of your stored data at cognius.app/support. Subscription Information: A subscription unlocks the full reading, every test in the catalogue and unlimited conversation with the guide. Cognius offers weekly, monthly and quarterly plans. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. Questions? Suggestions? Anything else?
