Migraine Headache Tracker Log turns one tap into a doctor-ready headache diary, then flags the barometric pressure and weather shifts that line up with your own attack history. The moment a headache hits, tap once on iPhone or Apple Watch. The app timestamps the event instantly and automatically attaches the surrounding context that doctors and migraine specialists actually ask about - no typing, no forms, no friction. EVERY HEADACHE IS LOGGED WITH: - Time and rhythm - weekday, hour, minute, time zone, and part of day - Apple Health signals - steps, activity, sleep stages, heart rate, HRV, resting heart rate, SpO₂, VO₂ max, respiratory rate, audio exposure, mindful minutes, and recent workouts - Weather and environment - temperature, barometric pressure changes, humidity, air quality (AQI), UV index, and pollen-style signals long associated with migraine attacks - Optional severity rating (1–10) and personal notes for medications, aura, location of pain, or suspected triggers HEADACHE PRO - FIND YOUR TRIGGERS: A few taps of data isn't useful on its own. Headache Pro reads your full history and surfaces the real signals behind your headaches. - Personalized pattern insights - sleep, barometric pressure drops, time-of-day clusters, weekday patterns, HRV dips, weather shifts, and more, each shown with a chart and plain-English explanation - 15+ pattern detectors plus multivariate co-occurrence analysis to catch combined triggers (e.g. pressure drop + poor sleep) that single-variable tracking misses - Proactive Alerts - Pro watches your local forecast in the background and only pings you when the conditions match a trigger pattern in YOUR history. No generic "storm coming" spam. - Personalized thresholds and quiet hours so alerts respect your day - Pro-only filters and breakdowns in your history view BUILT FOR REAL LIFE: - One-tap Apple Watch logging that syncs back to your paired iPhone - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets to log a headache without opening the app - Siri Shortcuts and "Hey Siri, log a headache" support - CSV export to share a clean headache history with your neurologist, GP, or migraine specialist PRIVATE BY DESIGN: Migraine Headache Tracker Log is a local-first headache journal. - No account required - No ads - No analytics SDKs - No cloud sync - Your headache log stays on your device - manual export only when you choose to share Whether you're tracking chronic migraine, cluster headaches, tension headaches, hormonal headaches, or just trying to understand an occasional head pain pattern, Migraine Headache Tracker Log turns a single tap into a complete, doctor-ready record - and Headache Pro turns that record into answers.
