HeadWell
Your migraine companion
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
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.

This update helps HeadWell see migraine weather coming — and be a kinder companion through an attack.
1. Weather you can act on. HeadWell now reads the barometric‑pressure forecast and warns you before a falling front arrives — a common migraine trigger — with a heads‑up notification and an alert on your home screen.
2. Pressure in your units. Atmospheric pressure now shows in inches of mercury (inHg) in the US, or hectopascals (hPa) elsewhere — with Auto / inHg / hPa options in Settings.
3. Don't forget to close out a headache. If a headache you logged is still going, HeadWell gently checks in so you remember to mark it resolved — just tap "I'm better" from the reminder.
4. A gentler recovery. After you resolve a headache, your Orb now eases through a calm recovery phase before returning to baseline, instead of snapping back.
Fixes & polish. Smoothed out a Profile screen that could slide sideways, plus assorted refinements.
Thanks for tracking with us — your feedback shapes what we build next.
