Migrenio alongside other migraine apps

There are good migraine apps. Migrenio is one with a character of its own: everything stays on your phone, the air pressure comes along by itself, and the insights are honest. Here you read what that means in practice, and how Migrenio differs from the two best-known apps.

Your data stays on your phone

What you record about your migraine is among the most personal information that exists about you: how often you are out of action, which medication you take, how you sleep. Migrenio is built on one choice: that data stays yours, on your own device.

You start right away. Open the app and log your first attack; there is no account, so there is nothing to create. Everything you record lives in the app itself.

The weather report is the only thing the app fetches, accurate to about a kilometre, and your location is forgotten again immediately afterwards. That is how you get the air pressure without anything about you being kept.

Migrenio earns from Premium, not from you. That is why there are no ads and no measuring of what you do. If you want to share something with your doctor, you create a report yourself and decide who receives it.

Where Migrenio excels

Air pressure, automatically with every attack

With every attack, Migrenio records the air pressure, and how much it dropped in the hours before. On devices with a barometer this uses the sensor itself, on Android too. Temperature, humidity, dew point, air quality and pollen come along with it. You do not have to enter anything; you simply see it with your attack.

Insights you can trust

Migrenio works out, per factor, how it relates to your attacks and says so in plain language: “in half of your attacks the pressure dropped at least 6 hPa”, “sleep is unrelated to your attacks”, or “a few more attacks and the app can say something about this”. That way you know exactly what you can build on, and focus your attention on what matters for you.

Alerts tailored to you

Turn on pressure alerts and Migrenio looks fourteen days ahead. The app tunes the threshold to your own diary: you hear about the drops that matched your attacks. So you get a heads-up when it means something for you, and can plan your day around it.

A report your doctor can use straight away

A PDF with your attacks, your medication use, a signal when there are many intake days, and your MIDAS score, the questionnaire neurologists use. You fill it in inside the app, it comes along in the report, and you bring it to your appointment.

Made for during the attack

One tap starts a log. The attack screen is dark and calm, with large buttons, and everything else you want to record can wait until you feel human again. You can dictate a note if you like; speech recognition runs on your device.

Alongside Migraine Buddy and Migraine Trail

Migraine Buddy is the largest migraine app and works with an account and cloud storage, so your data is available on every device. Migrenio chooses the other side: your data lives only on your own phone, and that takes care of your privacy at once. Both apps help you track attacks, medication and triggers and share a report; with Migrenio the MIDAS score is part of that report and the air pressure comes along automatically.

Migraine Trail, like Migrenio, measures air pressure with the barometer and is made for iPhone. Migrenio does that on iPhone and on Android, which makes it the choice for anyone with an Android device who wants the air pressure recorded by itself.

All three apps are serious diaries. The difference lies in the principles: Migrenio is for people who want health data to stay on their own phone, and for people who want to see, without typing, whether the weather plays a part in their own attacks.

Who Migrenio is made for

For anyone who wants health data to simply stay on their own phone. For anyone with an Android device or iPhone who wants the air pressure recorded automatically. And for anyone who wants to bring a report to the neurologist that actually says something.

Logging is free and stays free. So you can calmly use the app for a few weeks and see for yourself how your pattern becomes visible. The app is available in English, Dutch, German and Spanish.
