What it does

MigrainePal opens an attack with one tap and the start time; put the phone face-down and add pain level, aura and notes later. The calendar lays weeks and months side by side, in something you can show a neurologist. From 5 apps that keep the clues to feeling off in separate places.

Log an attack in one tap, then see which triggers line up with it. From 5 apps for people who get migraines.

MigrainePal logs an attack in one tap. Weeks and months lie side by side, so cluster days and patterns surface — in something you can show a neurologist. From 5 apps for people the weather gets to.

The developer describes it as: “If you live with migraines, you already know the frustration: every migraine tracker on the App Store looks like a clinical questionnaire designed by an insurance company.”

Alternatives to MigrainePal

The closest alternatives to MigrainePal are AutoSleep, Medisafe, Clue, Welltory, Barometric Pressure Today, Water tracker Waterllama, HiCoffee, IQAir AirVisual, Allergy Plus and Hygrometer — 10 apps from the 3 lists MigrainePal appears on, each answering the same moment a different way.

• AutoSleepAutoSleep tracks sleep from the Apple Watch with no buttons to press — the Watch app is optional. Duration, a sleep bank balance, heart rate and Apple's sleep stages, with no analytics, no ads and no upload. Paid once.
• MedisafeMedisafe is the pill reminder, with drug-to-drug interaction warnings and prescriptions imported through Health Records from 100+ US hospital systems. Whether a dose was taken, and when, is the first thing a doctor asks.
• ClueClue predicts periods from your own cycle length and flow, and takes 200+ symptoms to log against them — cramps, energy, mood, skin, sleep — so a bad week can be read against where you were in the cycle. Berlin-based, under GDPR.
• WelltoryWelltory reads heart rate variability from the phone camera or an Apple Watch and turns it into a stress and energy reading. Fatigue and burnout tend to show up here before they show up anywhere else.
• Barometric Pressure TodaySee pressure drops coming in the forecast, hours ahead.
• Water tracker WaterllamaWater reminders and a tally of everything you drink.
• HiCoffeeLogs every coffee and shows how much caffeine is still in you.
• IQAir AirVisualIQAir AirVisual reports air quality for 500,000+ locations with a 48-hour forecast, from government monitoring stations plus their own sensors.
• Allergy PlusAllergy Plus is a five-day pollen forecast next to the weather, and a notification when the level changes where you actually are.
• HygrometerHygrometer is one dial and one number: the humidity around you, on a face built to look like an instrument rather than a dashboard.
