Migraine Tracker: Headache Log

Glitchlab

About this app

Migraine Tracker is the gentle, private way to log migraines and headaches, find your triggers, and care for yourself on the worst days. Designed by someone who lives with migraine, every screen is dim, slow, and quiet — so you can use it even when light hurts.

No accounts. No ads. No data leaves your phone. Ever.

▸ KEY FEATURES

• ONE-TAP MIGRAINE LOG — record an attack in under 20 seconds: intensity, location, type, symptoms, triggers, and the medications that helped.

• SANCTUARY MODE — a dimmed, full-screen breathing companion with six science-backed breath patterns (4-7-8 calm, box breathing, coherent 5.5, resonant 6, long-exhale, free flow) and a soft haptic cue at every phase change. The single most useful tool for getting through an active episode.

• SMART INSIGHTS — see your patterns in beautiful, no-judgement charts: pain intensity over time, top triggers, attack frequency, time-of-day distribution, weather correlations, and medication effectiveness.

• HEADACHE & MIGRAINE TYPES — supports migraine with aura, without aura, tension headache, cluster, hemiplegic, vestibular, abdominal, and ocular variants.

• PRODROME & AURA TRACKING — record warning signs (fatigue, neck stiffness, food cravings, mood, visual aura, tingling) so you catch the next attack earlier.

• MEDICATION TRACKER — log abortives, preventives, supplements, and rescue meds. Get gentle dose reminders. Avoid medication-overuse headaches with monthly limit warnings.

• MIGRAINE DIARY & JOURNAL — daily mood, sleep hours, water, caffeine, stress, screen time, and menstrual cycle phase. Find the lifestyle factors that matter for you.

• TRIGGER LIBRARY — 30+ pre-loaded triggers (weather, hormones, stress, foods, sleep, screens, sounds, smells) plus unlimited custom triggers.

• RELIEF TOOLKIT — a personal library of what actually works for you: cold packs, dark room, caffeine, hydration, naps, prescription meds, and more.

• CALM, EYE-FRIENDLY UI — deep dark theme, large readable fonts, gentle animations. No bright banners or guilt-tripping streaks.

• 100% PRIVATE — everything stays on your device. No accounts. No analytics. No cloud. We can't see your data because we don't collect it.

• EXPORT FOR YOUR DOCTOR — one tap to export your full history as CSV (for spreadsheets) or JSON (for backup). Bring real data to your next neurologist appointment.

• OFFLINE FIRST — works completely without internet. Use it on a plane, in a quiet room, in a dark bedroom.

▸ WHO THIS APP IS FOR

• People living with chronic or episodic migraine.
• Anyone trying to find what triggers their headaches.
• Migraine sufferers preparing for a neurologist visit who need real data.
• People sensitive to light, motion, and noise (photophobia, phonophobia).
• Anyone who wants a private, no-account, no-ads health journal.

▸ WHY MIGRAINE TRACKER IS DIFFERENT

• Dim, low-contrast UI you can actually look at during an attack.
• A dedicated Sanctuary Mode you can use *during* a migraine — not just after.
• Tracks lifestyle, hormones, weather, sleep, and meds together.
• No subscriptions. No upsells. No ads. No data harvesting.
