A diary for headache & migraine
A migraine diary
that respects the migraine.
Migrainely logs onset, duration, triggers, and pain level. Designed to be readable during an attack.
Begin logging free
Dark mode is available, and recommended.
The pain scale
How you might log a Tuesday.
One entry. Not a form. Take as long as you need — or skip to the bare minimum.
This is what your entry might look like. Or shorter. Or just the bare minimum.
Four quiet capabilities
A small set of things, done patiently.
Quick‑log mode
Three taps when you can barely look at your phone. Pain level, location, time — done.
Trigger analysis
Notice patterns over months — sleep, weather, food, screens. Honest correlations, not predictions.
Medication tracking
Log dose and timing — sumatriptan, rizatriptan, ibuprofen, propranolol for prevention. For you, and for your neurologist.
Neurologist‑export PDF
Clean, clinical, printable. The kind of summary a doctor can scan in thirty seconds.
The export
This is what your neurologist receives.
Clean. Boring. Useful.

A note on darkness
It goes further than a black background.
Migrainely ships with a true dark mode and a low‑light mode that goes even further — a warm, dimmed palette with reduced contrast for the worst of an attack. The whole app — not just the background — adjusts: charts, notifications, the keyboard, the export preview. Push notifications can be silenced for the duration of an active log.
Gently answered
Questions you might have during a good hour.
Will the app be readable during a migraine?
Yes — that is the design constraint, not a feature. Type is set at 18 px with generous leading; the palette is monochrome; nothing flashes, nothing pulses. Low-light mode dims further, weights type down, and removes whatever motion remains.
Can I quick-log without typing?
Three taps: pain level, location, time. That is a complete entry. You can add triggers, medication, and notes later — or never. A half entry is still a useful entry.
Does it integrate with Apple Health or Garmin?
Apple Health: yes, two-way — Migrainely reads sleep and menstrual-cycle data, and writes headache events back. Garmin: we read sleep and stress; not yet two-way. Migraines logged elsewhere can be imported from Apple Health on first launch.
Is my data private?
Your diary lives in your private account, protected by row-level security — only you can access it. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. There is no advertising SDK, product analytics never touches the content of your entries, and nothing is shared with third parties.
What's actually paid?
Daily logging and the 30-day view are free, indefinitely. Premium ($3.99/month) unlocks the full history, the trigger-pattern analysis, and the neurologist-export PDF.
Is this medical advice?
No. Migrainely is a log. Bring it to a neurologist who listens.
