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.
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 stays on your device, encrypted. Cloud sync is optional and end-to-end encrypted. There is no advertising SDK, no analytics on your entries, and no third-party share.
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.
