Migraine Tracker: Pain Diary
Migraine diary, attack log, and headache statistics
Migraine Tracker is an iPhone migraine diary for logging attacks, severity, symptoms, triggers, medications, and relief methods. Export PDF or CSV for neurologist visits and spot patterns in statistics.
Free with optional in-app purchases. Requires iOS 17+.
Overview
Migraine Tracker: Pain Diary helps you capture migraine and headache episodes while they are fresh—or fill in details later when the pain eases. Tap Attack Started for an ongoing episode, log severity on a visual scale, note location, symptoms, and triggers, and add medications with effectiveness and time-to-relief.
Browse your attack history with search and filters, then open Statistics for trends such as monthly frequency, average severity, and relief insights. Learn about relief methods in the built-in guide, export your data as PDF or CSV for clinic visits, and optionally back up with iCloud on Pro. Reminders nudge you to close out an ongoing attack or rate medication after two hours. Free tier includes limited attack logs so you can try the workflow; Pro unlocks unlimited entries, advanced statistics, export, app lock with Face ID, and an ad-free experience.
