About

Migraine Manager & Tracker

Features
Read full description

A migraine is starting. The last thing you need is a long form. Migraine Manager opens a calm, low-light Attack Mode where one tap starts the log—no typing required. Add symptoms, aura, medication, hydration, food timing, weather, and notes later, when you feel better. WHY MIGRAINE MANAGER - One-tap Attack Mode for the first moments of an attack - Low-light interface built for photophobia and dark rooms - Log now, add context later, so you're not filling out forms when you feel your worst - A personal migraine tracker and journal that works fully offline, with no account required WHAT YOU CAN TRACK - Severity, symptoms, aura, and known triggers - Acute and preventative medication, including day-by-day use - Hydration, with quick-add water logging and daily progress - Weather and barometric pressure context around your attacks - Food and meal timing (Pro) - Care plan details: rescue medication, red flags, clinician notes, and emergency contacts - History calendar showing severity and which logs still need review - Optional Apple Health context for supported health data - Optional widgets and Live Activity so you can log without opening the app BUILT FOR REAL ATTACKS Whether you have occasional attacks or chronic migraine, Migraine Manager doesn't ask for a full history mid-attack. Log severity and time first, then come back later, even the next day, to fill in symptoms, medication, food timing, and weather. A review workflow flags logs that are missing context so your history stays useful over time. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Basic migraine and headache tracking works fully offline, with no account required. Your data stays on your device unless you turn on Pro sync. MIGRAINE MANAGER PRO Pro unlocks: - Sync and backup across devices - Food and meal timing context - Advanced widgets - Review workflows and missing-context prompts - Trend analysis across your attack history - Clinician-ready exports for appointments Pro is available as a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Migraine Manager is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent migraine or any medical condition. Always follow your clinician's advice for medication, diagnosis, and treatment decisions. Questions or feedback? Contact us any time—we read every message.
