Log each episode — intensity, symptoms, medication and what was going on beforehand — and let real patterns emerge over weeks and months, rather than relying on memory.
A personal tracking tool, not a diagnosis — built to support a conversation with your doctor, not replace oneFill in what you can — every field is optional except the date, so a quick partial log beats no log at all.
These are the factors most consistently identified in migraine research. Check whatever applied in the 24 hours before this episode.
Nothing here tells you what's causing your headaches. What it does is give you an honest, complete record instead of relying on memory — research has actually found that what people believe triggers their migraines only matches their real logged data about a quarter to a third of the time. A proper log is simply more reliable than a guess.
Taking simple painkillers on 15 or more days a month, or triptans and combination painkillers on 10 or more days a month, is a recognised risk factor for medication overuse headache — where the treatment itself starts contributing to more headaches. The Patterns tab counts this automatically from what you log, purely as an informational flag, not a diagnosis.
The trigger checklist covers what's most consistently identified across migraine research: sleep (both too little and too much, and irregular timing), skipped meals, dehydration, alcohol, caffeine changes, certain foods, hormonal cycle, stress, weather changes, strong smells, bright or flickering lights, and screen time. Not everyone reacts to the same things — that's exactly why tracking your own pattern matters more than any general list.
The Backup & Export tab can print a clean summary for any date range. Many doctors specifically ask patients to keep a headache diary before a consultation, since it gives them far more to work with than "I get headaches a few times a month."
