How Easing is different
- No account. No sign-up, no login.
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Logs stay on your iPhone and sync through your own private iCloud.
- No community feed. It's a personal diary, nothing more.
- A quiet attack screen. Dark, with big buttons for meds, severity and a note.
- A PDF for your doctor. The basic report is free. Easing Pro adds a detailed report.

Which one should you pick?
If you want a community, more languages, iPad or Mac, or an app you can use today, Migraine Buddy is the better fit. If you want a plain, private diary on your iPhone and you can wait, keep an eye on Easing. Either way, the diary is for you and your doctor. Neither app replaces medical advice.
