Migraine Pal vs Throb

If you live with migraines, you already know the frustration: every migraine tracker on the App Store looks like a clinical questionnaire designed by an insurance company. They want you to fill out twenty fields while your head is splitting. You don't need another medical form — you need a migraine diary that respects what you're going through. MigrainePal is a beautifully designed headache tracker and migraine diary, built for people who'd rather log an attack in one tap than fight with a sterile questionnaire. ONE-TAP ATTACK LOGGING When a migraine attack starts, the last thing you want to do is fill forms. Tap once. The app opens an active migraine episode with the start time, and you can put your phone face-down. Come back later — add pain level, aura, and notes when you're ready. This is what a real migraine log should feel like. HEADACHE CALENDAR AND MIGRAINE DIARY See your entire month at a glance. The migraine calendar shows every attack, every aura, every medication taken — visually, not as a wall of text. Swipe across weeks and months to watch your migraine patterns emerge: cluster days, weather-linked spikes, menstrual migraine cycles, the post-stress crash. TRIGGER TRACKING Identify what sets off your migraine attacks. Log migraine triggers as you notice them — sleep, stress, foods, weather, screens, hormones, scents, alcohol. Over weeks, the trigger tracker surfaces what actually correlates with your headache attacks, not what the internet guessed for you. For chronic migraine and chronic pain, knowing your triggers means managing, not guessing. MEDICATION AND MEDS LOG Track every triptan, NSAID, anti-CGRP, preventive, and rescue med. The medication tracker helps you notice when you're approaching MOH (medication overuse headache) territory. See which meds work for which attack types, and bring real data to your next neurologist visit. INSIGHTS THAT MAKE SENSE Insights you can show your doctor — no PDF export needed. Frequency, average migraine pain level, aura percentage, most common triggers, medication response. Your migraine monitor shows patterns in plain language. For chronic, vestibular, hemiplegic, or menstrual migraine, this is the difference between feeling lost and feeling in control. BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED, NATIVE iOS Built as a true native iOS app — not a web wrapper. 120Hz scrolling, haptic feedback, Dark Mode (essential during a migraine), and Dynamic Type support. Every screen was designed for someone who needs to look at their phone with a pounding headache. WHO MIGRAINE IS FOR People living with episodic or chronic migraine who want a real headache log. Migraine sufferers tracking aura, vestibular, hemiplegic, or menstrual patterns. Anyone managing chronic pain or recurring headache disorders. People whose neurologist asked them to keep a migraine diary or headache diary. Anyone tired of clinical apps that don't respect what a migraine attack feels like. WHY NOT MIGRAINE BUDDY OR N1-HEADACHE Apps like Migraine Buddy and N1-Headache are powerful research-grade tools — but they're built around long questionnaires, accounts, and pharma data sharing. If you'd rather log a headache in one tap than complete a 20-field form — Migraine was made for you.

No data collection. No ads. Your migraine diary is private — period. Free to download. Supports English, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese.

Log a migraine in one tap, even mid-attack, on a dark screen that won't hurt your eyes. Throb is a private migraine and headache diary you pay for once: no subscription, no account, no ads. ABOUT THROB Throb is a migraine and headache tracker for iPhone (iOS 18 or later) with an Apple Watch app. It is made for people with frequent or chronic migraine who need a reliable headache diary for themselves and for their doctor or neurologist. Everything is stored on the device; nothing is sent to the developer. LOGGING • Start an attack with one tap from the app, the Lock Screen widget, Control Center, the Action Button, Siri ("Log a migraine in Throb") or Apple Watch. • Attack mode is a dark, low-light screen. Tap the pain level as it changes to draw a pain-over-time curve, and log every dose. • Record where it hurts on a head map, plus symptoms, triggers, aura and prodrome, relief methods and notes. • Whole-day entries for daily or continuous headache, with no start or end time. • "Feeling one coming" notes early warning signs before the pain starts. • Log medication doses taken outside an attack, including preventives. FOR YOUR DOCTOR • Doctor report PDF: headache days, attacks, duration, peak pain, acute-medication days, how often each medication helped and its median time to relief, MIDAS disability score and the HIT-6 questionnaire. • A monthly count of acute-medication days, shown as information, never as an alarm. INSIGHTS • Calendar heat map, trends and a searchable list of every attack. • Co-occurrence: which triggers and symptoms show up with your attacks. Patterns only, never claimed causes. • Preventive treatment check: headache days per 30 days before versus since you started a preventive, with optional reminders from daily tablets to injections every few weeks. • Barometric pressure trend from the iPhone's own barometer, optional alerts on sharp drops, and an optional pressure forecast from Apple Weather. DATA AND PRIVACY • Works fully offline. No account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, no ads. • Optional iCloud sync through your own private iCloud database. • Optional Apple Health: reads sleep and menstrual cycle, writes headache events. • Automatic local backups with restore, plus CSV and JSON export. • Import from a Migraine Buddy CSV export or a headache spreadsheet. • Face ID lock. PRICE Free: logging, attack mode, full history, calendar, search, backups, iCloud sync, export, Face ID lock and a doctor report for the last 30 days. One-time purchase, no subscription: doctor reports for any date range and all insights.
