Migraine Map

Features
Read full description

Migraine Map is a private headache journal that helps you understand what tends to precede your attacks. THE ON-DEVICE TRIGGER CORRELATOR Migraine Map cross-references your headache logs with barometric pressure from Apple WeatherKit, sleep, heart-rate variability, resting heart rate, menstrual cycle phase, screen time, caffeine, alcohol, food, and other personal signals. After enough logs, it surfaces personal lift-ratio patterns from your own data. It is correlation, not diagnosis. WEATHERKIT PRESSURE CONTEXT The Today screen shows barometric-pressure context from WeatherKit so you can compare pressure swings with your own headache history. Location is used only to fetch local pressure data. Location is not stored with attack logs. ICHD-3 PROVIDER PDF Export a clinician-friendly PDF formatted around International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) conventions: headache days, attack characterization, acute-medication days by class, triggers, and medication-overuse heads-up. ONE-TAP LOGGING Start a headache log quickly, then add intensity, location, aura, symptoms, likely triggers, medication, and notes later when symptoms settle. CLUSTER AND MENSTRUAL MIGRAINE SUPPORT KIP-scale logging, oxygen-session notes, triptan/NSAID day counts, cycle-phase context from Apple Health, and ICHD-3 headache type labels help keep a more complete record for your clinician. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ad SDKs. No analytics SDKs. No pharma partners. No data resale. Sign in is optional and local-only use is supported. MIGRAINE MAP PRO Migraine Map Pro unlocks unlimited history, the on-device trigger correlator, WeatherKit pressure context, and the ICHD-3 provider PDF. Pro is available as monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions. Migraine Map is a private symptom journal. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Patterns shown are statistical correlations from your own logs. Always consult your healthcare provider before making medical decisions. SUBSCRIPTION AUTO-RENEW DISCLOSURE Migraine Map Pro Monthly and Migraine Map Pro Yearly are auto-renewing subscriptions. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage and cancel in iOS Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.

Some people feel the weather before it arrives. BARO turns the barometric forecast into one number you can read in two seconds, tells you when the change is coming, and — as you log how you feel — learns the pattern that is yours alone. TODAY • A 0–100 Body Weather Risk with a plain-language reason • The window when conditions look hardest, not just "today" • A 24-hour pressure curve with the elevated stretch shaded • Pressure, humidity, temperature and your own sensitivity setting BEFORE IT ARRIVES • Alerts scheduled on your iPhone from the forecast BARO already downloaded • A separate alert for sharp three-hour pressure swings • A morning summary you can answer with one tap ONE-TAP CHECK-IN • Nine presets from Good to migraine, with optional intensity and a note • Every entry stores the weather that was happening at that moment • Log a good day straight from the notification, without opening the app YOUR OWN PATTERN • How often your symptoms follow falling pressure • The pressure threshold that matters most for you, shown with the tally behind it • Pressure, humidity and temperature ranked by how strongly they line up • 30 / 60 / 90-day views WIDGETS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets read the score BARO already calculated — no extra battery or data use. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No BARO server. No analytics SDK. Your check-ins live on your iPhone and are deleted with the app. Weather comes from Apple Weather; your location is used to request it and nothing else. BARO PRO — one purchase, no subscription The full 7-day forecast and day detail, the complete Insights analysis, alerts across the whole horizon, every widget style, and unlimited visible history. BARO provides weather-related wellness information and personal pattern tracking. It is not a medical device, a diagnosis, a prediction of a medical event, or a substitute for professional medical advice. If you have severe, sudden, unusual or concerning symptoms, seek appropriate medical care.
