You know the feeling. Another migraine hits, and when your neurologist asks "what might have triggered it?" you draw a blank. AcheCue fixes that. AcheCue is a headache trigger tracker built for people who experience recurring migraines or tension headaches. Instead of fumbling with a generic notes app, you tap "Log a headache" on Home and record the episode — intensity, duration, and possible triggers — in under 10 seconds. The app does the rest. Your episodes are correlated with built-in trigger tags (sleep debt, skipped meals, caffeine, weather, stress, screen time, and more). AcheCue also reads your Apple Health data — sleep duration, heart rate variability, step count, menstrual flow, and mindful minutes — to surface patterns you might never notice on your own. When it is time for your appointment, open Trigger Report, choose a date range (7 / 30 / 90 days or custom), then tap "Export Report" for a PDF preview. Share the PDF or a 9:16 PNG summary card with your care team. The report reflects episodes in the selected window plus HealthKit context for correlation. AcheCue respects your privacy absolutely. There is no account, no login, no subscription, no ads, and no internet connection required. Every byte of data stays on your device in a local database. HealthKit information is read-only and never leaves your phone. A medical disclaimer appears on every analytics surface reminding you this is a personal tracking tool, not a diagnosis. Take control of your headaches. Download AcheCue and start building the trigger diary your neurologist wishes you had.

Man Cycle is a light mood diary for men who want a simple way to notice rough stretches in the month. Log how you feel each day with quick mood levels and optional tags like tired, stressed, or need space. The calendar marks your logged days and shows a predicted “grumpy stretch,” so you can plan around the days that usually feel heavier. Insights stay plain and readable: mood mix, symptom frequency, and your cycle settings. When the day feels loud, open Relax and play a short ambient loop. Soft Rain, Warm Pad, and Night Breeze are original tracks bundled with the app. They play on repeat until you pause. Everything about your diary stays on your iPhone or iPad. There is no account wall and no cloud sync for your logs. Man Cycle is a personal journal with a playful framing. It is not a medical product and does not diagnose or treat any condition. Features • Daily mood and symptom logging • Monthly calendar with predicted rough days • Simple insights from your own history • Adjustable cycle length and peak day • Built-in ambient audio for short breaks • Designed for iPhone and iPad (fullscreen)
