Migraine diary app for iPhone

What you can log

• Pain level, and where it hurts on a simple head map, front or back.
• Symptoms and aura.
• Possible triggers you noticed, as tags.
• Medication you took.
• A note in your own words.

If it's still going, leave the episode running and end it when it's over. Easing records how long it lasted.

During an attack

While an episode runs, Easing goes dark and quiet. Big buttons for meds, severity and a note. One tap to end it.

Your month at a glance

The calendar colours each day by how bad it was, so the calm stretches stand out too. After five episodes, Insights lines your logs up next to pressure changes, sleep, humidity and your cycle, and shows the days and times your episodes tend to cluster. That's a view of what you logged, not a diagnosis. What it means is a conversation for you and your doctor.

A report for your appointment

Make a PDF of your history: episodes, severity, symptoms and medication use. You decide if and when to share it. Easing also counts your medication days and lets you know when they add up, so you can bring it up with your doctor.

Private by default

No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your logs stay on your iPhone and sync for free through your own private iCloud. If you allow it, Easing reads sleep and cycle data from Apple Health. It never writes to Health, and those readings stay on your iPhone. Details are in the privacy policy.

Is it a free migraine diary app?

The diary part is free, with no account needed. Free includes:

• Logging episodes, with pain level, head map, symptoms, aura, medication, possible triggers and notes.
• The calendar.
• Insights, after five episodes.
• A basic PDF report for your doctor.
• Sync through your own private iCloud.

Easing Pro is optional. It adds the detailed doctor report, pattern alerts and a daily outlook based on your own logs and local weather. The outlook is an estimate, not a forecast, and it can be wrong. Pro prices will show on the App Store when Easing launches. If you'd rather not use an app, the printable headache diary template is free too.

Using Easing in the UK

Easing is written in English and works the same in the UK as anywhere else. A few things that matter if you see a GP or an NHS headache clinic:

• The NHS suggests a diary. The NHS migraine page says it can help to keep a migraine diary. Easing is not an NHS app and isn't endorsed by the NHS.
• A PDF you can bring or email. It covers episodes, severity, symptoms and medication use. Ask your surgery or clinic how they'd like to receive it.
• Covers what UK charities ask for. The National Migraine Centre asks for the start time, a pain score, all medication with the times you took it, and when your period is happening. Easing records the start and end of each episode, a pain level and your medication, and can read your cycle from Apple Health if you allow it. If your clinic wants its own form, use theirs.
• Your data stays with you. Logs live on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, not on our servers.
