You are in pain and it wants you to fill in a form. This one takes one tap.
A diary built around the moment it is actually used: while an attack is happening. One tap records the time. Everything else is optional and can wait until you feel better. Six conditions in one file, each with its own diary. Dark from the start, because light sensitivity is a symptom, not a preference.
The existing apps are good software written for the wrong moment
These are not our words. They are what people with migraine write in app store reviews and in the r/migraine forum, which has 224,000 members.
Too many questions, at the worst possible time
“It asks me way too many questions and honestly just feels like more work when I'm already in pain.” And: “It expects me to pull out my phone and answer all those questions while I'm actively in pain? Not happening!” So ours records first and asks later, or never.
A white screen for people who cannot look at light
“For an app meant for a population that is often light sensitive, a white background is just silly. I would be willing to pay money for a dark background option.” Ours is dark from the first second. Light is there if you want it.
Features people need, put behind a subscription
“If you want money then charge a flat one time fee for your app, don't make people pay over and over for a feature.” We did exactly that: one payment, no renewal, no expiry. Try it first with the free trial, for as long as you like.
An account, and a privacy policy you should read
“I thought it was a tracker for migraines without the need to mine data.” Ours has no account, no server and makes no network request at all after you open it. There is nothing to leak, because nothing leaves the device.
Small on purpose. Every part of it earns its place.
One tap while it is happening
One large button records the time immediately. The entry exists from that moment, even if you close everything and lie down. When it passes, one more tap records the end.
Details, if and when you want them
Pain from 0 to 10, eleven symptoms to tap, a free note — and a built-in list of around fifty medicines used for migraine in Europe, so you can tap instead of typing. Nothing is required, nothing is preselected. If yours is not on the list, add it yourself.
A calendar you can count yourself
Every day with an entry is marked, with a dot for days you took medication. An attack that runs past midnight marks both days. The count below the calendar is simply how many squares are marked.
Edit and delete anything, any time
Every entry can be changed or removed. Medications can be renamed, and the new name follows through into every past entry so nothing comes loose. Deleting always asks first, and says what it is deleting.
A page to hand to your neurologist
Choose any period. You get days with an entry and days with medication, month by month, and then every entry in full. Print it or save it as a PDF. Export to CSV if your doctor prefers that.
Your file, your copy
One click saves everything to a file you keep. Load it on another computer whenever you like. The backup is free, because health records are not something to hold over anyone.
What it will never do, and why we are telling you
Most diaries in this category promise to find your triggers or warn you before an attack. We will not, and we would rather explain that than let you discover it.
No triggers, no predictions, no warnings
It will never tell you what sets off your migraines, never alert you about anything and never predict an attack. Under EU law, software that draws that kind of conclusion from health data is a regulated medical device — class IIa, a notified body, an audited quality system. That is a different product with a different price, and a disclaimer does not change it.
No scores, no questionnaires
There is no MIDAS, no HIT-6 and no severity index. Two reasons: every one of those instruments is licensed and paid for commercially, and calculating a clinical score is itself what turns a notebook into a medical device. What you get instead is a plain count of days, which nobody owns.
Why a plain count is enough
Every European rule that unlocks a CGRP antibody is written in migraine days per month. NICE requires four or more; the German neurological guideline defines success as halving them and recommends documenting it with a diary; the Slovenian reimbursement limit says the same. That number is a count of days you marked yourself.
What we are not claiming
No guideline anywhere makes a diary compulsory, and we will not pretend otherwise. This is a notebook that produces the figure your doctor asks for, in a form you can hand over. That is all it is, and the tool says so on its own settings screen.
Free to try, then one payment. No subscription.

The ones worth answering honestly
Is this a medical device?
No. It stores what you type, shows it back to you, counts the days you marked and lets you export it. It performs no diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, prediction, prognosis, treatment or relief of any disease, and it is not a medical device within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/745. That statement is inside the tool as well, on its own screen, not only here.
Will it tell me what triggers my migraines?
No, and this is the honest reason. Software that looks for patterns in your health data and draws a conclusion is a regulated medical device in the EU — the classification manual is explicit that calculating a score from health data makes it class IIa. Meeting that properly costs six figures. Apps that promise trigger detection either carry that certification or are on thin ice, and their own users say the results are useless: “My number one trigger is 'water' now. Its laughable how bad this is.”
Why is it dark, and can I change it?
Light sensitivity is a symptom of migraine, so a bright screen is the wrong default for this audience. It opens dark. There is a button in the top corner to switch to light, and it remembers your choice.
Where are my entries kept?
In the browser on the device you are using. There is no account and no server, and the tool makes no network request once it is open — activation of a licence key is the only exception, and that happens once. Nothing to leak, because nothing leaves. Save a backup file and it is yours to keep.
Can I edit or delete things?
Yes, all of it, free. Any entry can be changed or removed. Your medication list can be added to, renamed and pruned; renaming carries the new name through every past entry so nothing comes loose. Every delete asks first and tells you what it is about to remove.
Which languages?
English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Slovenian. Migraine is not tied to any country, so unlike our tax tools this one is translated in full — every screen, every explanation and every warning, not just the buttons.
