MigraineMap vs MigraineSpy

MigraineMap helps you log migraine and headache attacks quickly, then spot patterns in the days around them. When your head hurts, you should not have to fight a long form. Start a migraine in a tap, record severity and symptoms when you can, and come back later to add details such as stress, screen time, dehydration, skipped meals, cycle changes, sleep, and weather shifts. Over time, MigraineMap turns your logs into a clear record you can review yourself or share with a doctor. It highlights recurring patterns across your attacks without pretending to diagnose or replace medical care. What you can track: Migraine and headache attacks Severity, duration, phase, and functional impact Pain location and sensation Aura, nausea, light sensitivity, sound sensitivity, and other symptoms Possible triggers such as stress, screens, dehydration, alcohol, skipped meals, sleep changes, period start, and weather changes Sleep and cycle context when Health access is enabled Barometric pressure and weather context when location/weather access is enabled Insights that make your log useful: See your migraine history in a simple calendar view Review attack frequency, duration, and severity over time Compare migraine days with sleep, cycle, weather, and lifestyle notes Find repeated clues such as poor sleep, pressure drops, screen-heavy days, or cycle timing Export a doctor-ready summary or CSV when you need to share your record Built for privacy: Your migraine history is stored on your device Health access is optional Location/weather context is optional MigraineMap does not need an account to keep your personal log useful MigraineMap is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or emergency medical advice. Always talk to a qualified healthcare professional about migraine symptoms, medication, or changes to your care.

Most migraine trackers assume you can fill in a form mid-migraine. MigraineSpy assumes you are having a migraine right now and cannot. It's designed to be simple so you can focus on recovery. Open it and there is one button: Migraine started. Tap it and you are done. Tap End migraine when it passes. Intensity, symptoms, notes and medications are all optional, and you can add them later, or never — the entry is already saved. ONE TAP, NOTHING REQUIRED The only thing MigraineSpy ever needs is a start time. Nothing is mandatory, nothing blocks you, and there is no form to complete before your migraine counts. Elapsed time is worked out from when you started, so an entry survives a force quit, a restart, or a flat battery. SYMPTOMS THAT NEVER BECOME A MIGRAINE Aura on its own. A wave of nausea. A visual disturbance that passes. These get their own kind of entry, so they stay part of your history without being counted as a migraine day and quietly inflating every number you watch. A REAL CALENDAR 1 Month, 30 days, 12 weeks, 20 weeks, 6 months or 12 months, each with a count for that period. Tap any day to see what happened. Intensity runs gold through orange to red, so a bad stretch is visible at a glance. STREAKS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS Days clear, and days in a row. Both matter, and both are there. MEDICATIONS, HONESTLY RECORDED What you took, what you took it for, and whether you noted that it helped, did nothing, or you are not sure. No claims, no scoring — just what you observed. COLOUR THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY The app can look bright at rest and mute itself the moment a migraine starts. Or stay bright. Or stay calm. There is a dark theme, a light theme, an ultra dim mode for during an attack, and a screen dimmer you can switch on mid-migraine. Lock to portrait is on by default, because a screen that turns when you roll over is the last thing you need. YOUR JOURNAL STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE There is no account, no sign-in, and nothing is sent to a server. Backup and restore are free and always will be — save a file wherever you like, and use it to move everything to a new phone. ONE OPTIONAL PURCHASE PDF export is a one-time purchase: a readable summary of any date range, to keep, print, or take to an appointment. Everything else, including backups, stays free. There is no subscription. MigraineSpy is a personal journal. It does not give medical advice and cannot diagnose or treat anything. If you are worried about your health, talk to a doctor.
