Migraine Tracker & Cycle

Features
Read full description

Baro records the barometric pressure around every attack automatically, so you can see which pressure drops set yours off. If your migraines follow your period, it shows that too β€” in your own data, not a theory. Log an attack in seconds on a dark screen, with huge buttons and no typing. No account, ever. Nothing leaves your phone. YOUR ATTACKS, ON YOUR CYCLE Log your period by tapping days on the calendar, or import it from Apple Health so you are not entering it twice. Baro places every attack against your cycle and gives you the line a neurologist actually asks for: "4 of 5 attacks on cycle days -2 to +3." BUILT FOR THE WORST HOUR Hold one button to start logging. Pain, triggers, medications and where it hurts are all optional and all one tap. Had to stop halfway? The attack stays open and waits for you. YOUR DOCTOR'S PLAN, ON A TIMER Put your own protocol in once β€” water, a pain reliever, a rescue step β€” and Baro reminds you when each step is due, then records what you took and when. The plan is yours. Baro never suggests a medication or a dose. THE PRESSURE STORY, ATTACHED Baro records the barometric run-up to every attack, so you can find out whether weather is really one of your triggers instead of wondering. Readings in both inHg and hPa. ONE PAGE FOR YOUR NEUROLOGIST Attacks, attack days, average pain, medication days with an overuse flag, and your cycle-linked count. The summary a three-month diary gets asked for, in one tap. FREE FOREVER The log, your full history, the per-attack pressure receipt and the doctor PDF are free forever. No ads, no data sales. Everything stays on your phone. BARO PRO - Patterns across every attack: pressure windows, sleep, meals and cycle, each line cited from your own history. - The advanced report: a six-month trend and a pressure-correlation page. Baro Pro is 14.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or 39.99 once. A year, not a month. Baro is a diary. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. Always follow your own clinician's advice.

Your records never disappear. Your doctor asked you to keep a headache diary. Then the app asked you to create an account. This one doesn't. No account β€” what you write stays on your device. β–  Usable while it hurts One question per screen. Pick an answer and it moves on by itself, so the number of taps equals the number of questions. Dark mode included. β–  Records what the clinic asks about Β· When it started and ended (duration) Β· How bad it was β€” the same 1 to 10 scale clinics use, shown as a number, a color and a face Β· Where it hurt β€” left / right / both / back of head and neck / all over Β· Whether you took a painkiller Β· A note β€” one line like "turned off all the lights" is enough Still hurting? Leave it open and tap "it's over" when it ends. β–  A month at a glance Pick a day on the calendar to see that day's entries. Days with headache and painkiller counts for the month are tallied for you. β–  Painkiller count, tracked for you If painkillers add up over a month, the app lets you know. It's a number that's hard to keep in your head. Bring it to your doctor. β–  One page for your appointment Your last three months, summarized into a single PDF: how many days you had a headache, how bad it was on average, how often you took a painkiller. Show it in the exam room or print it out. You can also export your full history as a file, and load it back when you change devices. β–  What's not here Β· No signup β€” open it and record Β· No account β€” your headache entries never leave the device Β· No ads β€” nobody wants ads while their head hurts Β· No subscription β€” it's free We collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the app. The contents of your entries are never part of it. This app is a tool for recording and organizing symptoms. It does not diagnose or treat any condition and is not a substitute for medical judgment. Always consult a healthcare professional about your health.
