Aurora — Migraine Diary

Headache & Aura Tracker

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.

Log an attack in one tap from the widget or Apple Watch. Triggers, weather and pressure, medications, cycle, PDF report for your neurologist. Data stays on your device. Aurora is a migraine diary that demands no effort during your hardest moments and delivers scientifically rigorous insights in your calm ones. One tap to record an attack. Details — later, when you can. Apple Watch, widgets, and Siri Shortcuts work without opening the app. WHAT'S INSIDE • One-tap logging — attack, prodrome, medication. From the widget or Apple Watch; attacks and prodromes also by voice via Siri. • MOH timeline — monitoring per ICHD-3 criteria. Aurora warns you when you're approaching the medication-overuse threshold. • Menstrual module — automatic classification of menstrually-related migraine (MRM/PMM). Risk-window forecast 48 hours in advance. • Trigger analysis — case-crossover design (Maclure 1991) with weekday stratification and Benjamini-Hochberg correction. No false "magic" insights: only statistically robust associations with 95% confidence intervals. • PDF report for your neurologist — automatic HIT-6 and MIDAS scoring, abortive medication effectiveness (2-hour pain freedom rate), attack calendar, methodology disclaimer. • Apple Health — two-way integration. Aurora reads sleep, HRV, wrist temperature and writes back attacks as standard headache events. • Weather and barometric pressure — logged automatically (WeatherKit, iPhone barometer); 24-hour pressure changes are tested as trigger hypotheses. • Custom triggers — add your own trigger factors beyond the built-in catalog, then copy your last entry in one tap. AURORA FOR CHRONIC MIGRAINE Aurora automatically detects transition to chronic form (ICHD-3: 15 or more headache days/month for 3+ months) and switches the interface: daily pain slider instead of attack counter, "headache-free days" metric, breakthrough peaks on the Home screen. AURORA FOR PREGNANCY AND BREASTFEEDING When pregnancy/breastfeeding mode is enabled, Aurora checks medications you log in the app against FDA categories and the LactMed database. Ergotamines are flagged with warnings, triptans are category C, acetaminophen is considered safest. This isn't medical advice — it's a reminder before you talk to your doctor. PRIVACY-FIRST • All computation happens on-device. • No third-party SDKs, analytics, or ads. • Data never leaves your iPhone except for syncing between your own devices via your Apple ID. • Delete = full deletion, including iCloud. AURORA PLUS (optional) Free forever: all logging, MOH warnings, basic menstrual module, 1 PDF report per month, HIT-6 and MIDAS. Aurora Plus adds: • Personal risk forecast trained on your data • Case-crossover trigger analysis with BH-correction • 2-hour pain freedom rate per medication • Unlimited PDF reports for your neurologist • CSV export for your neurologist • Face ID / Touch ID app lock • Family Sharing (iCloud) Aurora is a wellness app, not a medical device.

Aurora 5.1.1 — practices on the lock screen and medications after the fact: • Voice practices now show a player on the lock screen: pause, ±15 seconds, AirPods controls. Practice minutes are credited in full, even when you listen to the end • Add a medication to an attack you already logged: the attack editor has a new “What you took” section, and the day card offers “+ Medication”. Dose time is limited to the attack window • A dose logged after the fact is linked to the attack by its own time, and interaction checks use the time of the dose, not “now” • Doctor-ready PDF report: attack frequency is calculated over the days you actually tracked, long trigger lists continue on the next page, fixed month labels and a rare crash with unnamed medications • The evening check-in notification no longer opens the form twice; the postdrome reminder opens the right screen • If practice audio is interrupted, Aurora says so and offers to start again • Breathing practice is no longer interrupted by the notification shade • More accurate sync status: days without upload are counted from the first failure, plus a hint about iCloud storage
