HeadWell

Your migraine companion

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

HeadWell now learns YOUR patterns — your cycle signature and your pressure threshold — and warns you 1–2 days before high-risk windows. Log a headache in two taps. See your next migraine coming. HeadWell is the first migraine app that gives you a daily risk forecast — combining your iPhone's barometer, Apple Health, your menstrual cycle, and your own logged patterns into one clear answer: how likely is today, and what should I do about it? When you can see attacks forming in the prodrome window, you can act before pain takes over. HOW IT WORKS 1. Log a headache once and HeadWell starts learning your patterns. After three entries, the forecast unlocks. 2. Every morning, HeadWell reads barometric pressure, weather shifts, last night's sleep, HRV, and your cycle phase — then shows you today's risk on a 7-day calendar. 3. When risk climbs, open Activities for guided breathing, neck stretches, or craniofacial massage protocols designed to head off attacks in the prodrome window. PREDICT Your iPhone has a built-in barometer that reads atmospheric pressure to ±0.1 hPa — more accurate than any weather forecast. HeadWell pairs it with Apple WeatherKit for a hyper-local pressure signal, then weights sleep deficit, HRV drops, cycle phase, and your personal triggers. The result: a concrete risk number (32%, not "moderate") with the top two drivers shown plainly. No black box. LOG WITHOUT THE PAPERWORK Quick log captures pain level and head location in 8 seconds. Need detail for your neurologist? The full log covers headache type, 19 anatomical pain regions, aura type with animated visual education, prodrome and recovery symptoms, medication dose and timing, and effectiveness scoring. "Hey Siri, I have a headache" works too. UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS 12 personalized insight cards unlock as your data matures — sleep deficit correlation, caffeine windows, perimenstrual clusters, weather sensitivity, day-of-week patterns, medication effectiveness rankings. Each card shows a relative risk multiplier from your own data ("3.2x more likely after poor sleep"), not a generic factoid. TREAT IN THE MOMENT Three guided, evidence-based intervention modalities — all on-device: • Breathing — 4-7-8, Box, and Coherent protocols with an animated coach and HealthKit mindful-session write-back • Cervical stretches — five anatomically targeted routines (SCM, upper trapezius, levator scapulae, splenius capitis, suboccipital release) • Craniofacial massage — temples, occipital line, frontal sinus, lymphatic drainage, masseter A Vagal Points progression system (10 levels) rewards consistent practice tied to clinical activity, not arbitrary engagement. SHARE WITH YOUR DOCTOR One-tap doctor-ready PDF report with narrative summary, pattern highlights, trigger frequencies, medication effectiveness table, month-over-month trends, and HealthKit correlations. No PII — your name and email stay out of the file. Built-in MIDAS, HIT-6, and ACE-10 questionnaires give your clinician the validated scores they need. BUILT PRIVACY-FIRST HeadWell never sells your data, runs ads, or tracks you. Apple Health samples are read on-device — only daily aggregates are ever stored. Your full data is exportable to CSV or JSON anytime. Mandatory medical disclaimers on every clinical surface remind you that HeadWell is for tracking and education, not diagnosis or treatment. WHO IT'S FOR Adults living with chronic migraine, episodic migraine, tension-type, cluster, vestibular, sinus, or hormonally-driven headaches who want to understand their patterns and bring real data to their care team. — HeadWell is a consumer wellness app for self-tracking and education. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are experiencing a sudden, severe, or entirely new type of headache, seek emergency medical attention.

HeadWell 1.3.0 is our biggest update yet: the app now learns your personal patterns and helps you get ahead of attacks — while making the most common action, logging a headache, faster than ever. SMARTER QUICK LOG Logging a headache from the Home screen now captures the two details that matter most — pain level and location — in as little as two taps. It uses the exact same 0–10 pain scale and anatomical head map as the full log, so there's nothing new to learn. Siri quick logging ("Hey Siri, I have a headache") remains fully hands-free. COMPLETE PERIOD TRACKING Log periods with real start AND end dates. Marking a period as ended now asks when it ended instead of assuming today. New Manage Periods screen: review your full history and edit or delete any past period, from the calendar or your Profile. Tag flow day by day — from spotting to heavy — to sharpen your personal pattern detection. Fixed: periods no longer paint weeks-long stretches across the calendar. Affected entries are repaired automatically and remain fully editable. Fixed: period logs now sync reliably for everyone with cycle tracking enabled. YOUR PERSONAL CYCLE SIGNATURE HeadWell now studies where YOUR attacks cluster across your cycle — whether that's the days before your period, around ovulation, or on your heaviest-flow days. Once a reliable pattern emerges, your daily risk score accounts for it, a new "Your cycle signature" insight explains it in plain language, and HeadWell alerts you before your personal window arrives. A tap-ready Cycle Prep plan offers evidence-informed options, including cycle-timed prevention strategies worth discussing with your clinician. YOUR PERSONAL PRESSURE THRESHOLD Everyone's weather sensitivity is different: some people react to pressure drops, others to rises. HeadWell now learns your threshold and direction from your own history. Get warned up to two days before a forecast change crosses YOUR threshold, with a Weather Prep plan to help you get ahead of it. MORE HONEST PREDICTIONS The pressure card no longer contradicts itself: risk factors state exactly whether a drop already happened or is expected, and the detail view tells the full story when pressure dips and then recovers. Your prediction history is now preserved throughout the day. BETTER ACTION PLANS One consolidated follow-up notification per action plan — no more notification pile-ups. Suggestions you dismiss stay dismissed, and plans no longer appear when logging past headaches. A new "What's working for you" insight highlights the suggestions you've marked helpful. Notifications make personalized claims only when your own data supports them. As always, your data stays yours, and nothing about your existing routine changes — it only gets smarter. If HeadWell is helping you, a review means the world to us.
