Aiding Migraine
A quiet place to keep track of your migraines.
Aiding Migraine is a personal diary for tracking your migraines — what happened, how it felt, and what patterns show up over time. No account. No noise. Your data stays on your device by default.
Closed beta — invite only
10–20 testers. The button opens your own email app with the message started — this page collects nothing. Adrian replies personally to every request.
The light in this room is yours to set. This page respects your eyes — it’s made by someone whose eyes need it too.
Walk through it
A day, at your pace
Step through how it actually works — nothing here moves on its own.

Today’s outlook
The Today screen keeps an eye on the weather for you — if you turn weather tracking on.
Pressure falling
A bigger-than-usual drop is on its way this afternoon.
When it starts · One tap
It’s starting.
One tap starts the episode right now. Nothing else is required — that’s the whole job.

While it runs · When it’s over
Still going.
The episode runs quietly in the background. If you turned them on, gentle check-ins ask how it’s going — answer them or ignore them.

Later · Insights
See it clearly.
Insights charts your episodes against barometric pressure, so you can see whether weather plays a part.
Before anything starts — the Today screen shows the day’s outlook, with pressure context if weather is on.

The diary
What it does
Log an episode in seconds. Start it with one tap, note your pain, and end it when it’s over.
See your patterns. Pain, duration, symptoms, triggers, and what came before and after — in one place, over weeks and months — and barometric pressure alongside your episodes, so you can see whether weather plays a part.
Bring it to your clinician. Export your history as a PDF, CSV, or JSON file to share at an appointment.
Lock it if you want. Optional on-device encryption with a passphrase you choose. If you forget the passphrase, it can’t be recovered — there’s no backdoor — so keep an unencrypted backup somewhere safe.
Gentle reminders. A daily check-in, and check-ins while an episode is running, if you turn them on.
Why it exists
A note from the person who made it
I live with chronic migraine.
At an appointment, I couldn’t reconstruct my own month. I’d been guessing.
So I built the diary I needed — it just helps me remember clearly, and walk into appointments with the month in my hand.
If your month feels like mine did, I read every invite request myself.

What it never does
Quiet by design
No account, no sign-in, no streaks to break.
No ads, no feed, nothing that flashes or shouts.
No promises about your migraines. It’s a diary, not a treatment.
Skip a day and nothing is lost. It will be here when you come back.
Your data stays here
Privacy, in plain English
There is no account, no sign-in, and no third-party analytics. Your journal stays on your device by default. Only two optional features send anything anywhere, and only if you turn them on: notifications (to remind you) and weather (to show pressure changes alongside your episodes). If you send feedback, it goes by email to support@aidingmigraine.com — only what you choose to include.
One small thing about this page itself: if you set the light or the tone above, that choice is remembered in this browser, on your device only. It is never sent anywhere, and this page collects nothing.
The beta
What testing looks like
Settle in. Install it in a couple of minutes — no app store — and log whatever the week brings.
Say what’s missing. Keep going, skip days freely, then tell me what worked and what didn’t.
I fix what you found. Then it opens more widely. Your journal exports with you, whatever you decide.
If this round is full, I’ll offer you the waitlist.
Questions
Answered plainly
Is this medical advice?
No. Aiding Migraine is a personal diary. It can’t diagnose you or tell you what treatment or medication changes to make — only your clinician can do that.
Where does my data live?
On your device. There’s no account and no analytics. Only two optional features — notifications and weather — send anything, and only if you turn them on. And if you set the light or tone on this page, that choice stays in this browser, on your device.
What does testing involve?
Two weeks. Install it, log episodes as they happen — or don’t; skip days freely — then tell me what worked, what didn’t, and what’s missing. You can use the feedback page linked from the app, or just email me.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes — it runs in your browser and installs to your home screen. iPhone: open the link in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Android: open it in Chrome, tap the menu, then Install app / Add to Home screen.
What happens after the beta?
I’ll fix what testers found, then open it more widely. Your journal is yours either way — export it any time as PDF, CSV, or JSON.
A quick note
Aiding Migraine is a personal diary for tracking your migraines — it is not medical advice, and it can’t diagnose you or tell you what treatment or medication changes to make. Only your clinician can do that. If something feels sudden, severe, or different from your usual pattern, get urgent care and talk to your doctor.
