Understand and manage your migraines with MigraCal, the comprehensive trigger tracking and pattern analysis app designed for people living with migraines. TRACK YOUR TRIGGERS Log potential migraine triggers including food (tyramine, nitrates, MSG, caffeine, alcohol, artificial sweeteners), sleep quality, stress levels, weather changes, menstrual cycle, screen time, and more. The more you log, the better MigraCal identifies your personal patterns. AI FOOD TRIGGER SCANNER Snap a photo of your meal and instantly assess common dietary migraine triggers. Our AI identifies tyramine-rich foods, nitrate sources, MSG-like ingredients, and other known trigger compounds. PATTERN ANALYSIS MigraCal analyzes your diary entries over time to reveal correlations you might miss โ€” like migraines always following poor sleep combined with aged cheese, or weather changes triggering attacks. MIGRAINE DIARY Record attack characteristics: pain level, location, duration, aura symptoms, associated nausea, and what helped. Build a comprehensive history to share with your neurologist. CHAT WITH MIGRA โ€” YOUR AI COMPANION Get empathetic, practical guidance on trigger management, medication timing awareness, lifestyle adjustments, and when to consult your doctor. Migra avoids fear-mongering and focuses on actionable insights. EDUCATIONAL CONTENT Learn about the migraine mechanism, evidence-based dietary approaches, the role of sleep hygiene, stress management, and how to identify your personal threshold factors.
