Now made for iPhone Duo: open, your log and your patterns side by side. A private migraine diary with a clear report for your doctor. No account, no ads.
4Migraine is a calm, private migraine diary. Log an episode with one tap while it is happening, or add it later. See patterns over time and take a clear report to your next appointment.
Start tracking with one tap. 4Migraine keeps the timer running, even if the app closes or your phone restarts. Add intensity (1 to 10), where it hurts (left, right, front, back or all over), symptoms and medications. Stop when it is over, or let the auto-stop timer do it after 12, 24, 48 or 72 hours.
Add as many notes as you like during an episode. Each one gets a time, so you can see later what changed and when you took something.
Forgot to start the timer? Enter start, end, intensity, symptoms, medications and notes afterwards. Edit any entry later.
Charts and statistics show how often episodes happen, how strong they are, and which symptoms come up most. Switch between week, month, three months and year. A monthly calendar colors each day by intensity.
Create a PDF with summary figures, intensity distribution, weekdays and times of day, frequency, intensity trend, symptoms, medications used and a list of all entries. Add your name, date of birth and a comment if you like, then share it from your iPhone. It is meant to support the conversation with your doctor.
Read how migraine can unfold (prodrome, aura, attack, postdrome) and which triggers people commonly report. Each section names its source: American Migraine Foundation, Mayo Clinic, NHS, NINDS, WHO and the International Headache Society, with links.
Optionally get a reminder every 30 minutes, 1, 2 or 4 hours while an episode is running, asking whether it is still going on.
Your entries stay on your iPhone. No account, no cloud sync, no ads, no tracking. The app makes no network requests. Back up automatically every 7 days (up to 7 backups) or manually, and export or import your data as JSON.
4Migraine speaks English, German, French, Spanish and Italian and follows your iPhone's language. To change it, use the Language row in the app's settings.
Fully open, your log is on one side and your patterns are on the other: the calendar in History, the charts in Insights, the triggers in Understand. Closed and turned sideways, it shows the same two halves side by side. Half open, the ring from the logo opens at the fold. On the table, a running migraine stays large and dimmed for a dark room, and everything you tap lies below the fold. Folding keeps your tab, the month, open sheets, the note you are typing and where you scrolled. On other iPhones, 4Migraine looks and works as before.
4Migraine is not a medical device and gives no diagnosis or treatment advice. It does not replace talking to a doctor. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

4Migraine is made by Robert Poetzsch (robspace.de), who is responsible for this app within the meaning of the GDPR. Contact: support@robspace.de. The postal address is in the legal notice (Impressum) on this website.
In short. Everything you record in 4Migraine stays on your device. The app makes no network requests of its own: there is no 4Migraine server, no user account, no location access, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no third-party SDKs. The developer receives none of your data.
What you enter and where it is stored. Migraine entries (start and end time, intensity, where the head hurts, symptoms, medications and notes with time stamps), your symptom and medication lists and your app settings are stored only on your iPhone/iPad, in the app's private storage. Older or imported entries may also contain weather values; the app does not fetch weather data. While a migraine is being logged, the running entry is kept separately on the device so that it survives a crash.
Report details. If you fill in the form for a PDF report, the name, date of birth and comment you type are saved on the device so you do not have to enter them again. They appear only in reports you create yourself. "Reset All Data" deletes them together with your entries and a running migraine.
Reminders. If you switch on the check-in reminder while logging a migraine, the app asks for permission to show notifications and schedules them on the device. No push server is involved. Reminders stop when the migraine is ended or when you switch the reminder off.
Backups, export and reports. About once a week, when you open the app and there are entries, 4Migraine writes a backup file into its own Documents folder on the device and keeps the last seven; you can also create, restore and delete backups manually. JSON exports and PDF reports are created on the device and leave it only if you share them yourself via the iOS share sheet (for example by AirDrop, mail or Files). Who receives them is your decision; the developer has no access. A PDF report contains your entries and, if you entered them, your name, date of birth and comment. After sharing, the app deletes its temporary copy of the file. Importing reads only the file you pick.
iCloud and device backups. 4Migraine has no iCloud sync. Like any app data, its data — including the backup files and the report details — is part of your iCloud or computer backup of the device if you have turned that on. This is an Apple function that you control in iOS Settings.
Links. Links in the app (medical sources, the community pages on GitHub, robspace.de, e-mail) open in your browser or mail app only when you tap them. The app itself sends nothing to these sites; the respective provider's privacy policy applies there.
Health data. Information about migraines, symptoms and medications is health data under Art. 9 GDPR. It is processed only on your device under your control and is never transmitted to the developer or to third parties by the app.
Your control and your rights. In the app, Log → Settings (gear icon) → Data lets you back up, restore, export or reset your data. "Reset All Data" removes entries, report details and a running migraine; backup files are deleted separately under Backup & Restore. Deleting the app removes all its data from the device; copies in device backups and files you shared remain under your control. You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR). Because the app sends the developer no data about you, there is nothing the developer could disclose, correct or delete; questions are still welcome at support@robspace.de. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (HBDI).
Not a medical device. 4Migraine is a diary and information app. It is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
