migraine pattern tracker
Most migraine advice is generic. Your triggers are specific.
This app helps you find them. Not by telling you what usually causes migraines — but by watching what actually precedes yours, over time, until a pattern emerges that is yours alone.
Built by a migraineur who wanted to understand what was actually happening — not just manage what kept going wrong.
What to expect
20
Your first analysis at 20 entries
After 20 daily logs the app produces its first pattern report — correlating your migraines against your daily routine, exercise, sleep, hydration, and nutrition. Not generic advice. Your data.
2'
Under two minutes a day
The daily log is designed to be completed quickly. Quick tick-offs for most fields. An optional food diary for deeper analysis.

This is not medical advice
The app identifies patterns in your own data. It does not diagnose, prescribe, or replace your doctor. Always discuss medication and supplement changes with a medical professional.

Patterns take time
One good night or one bad day proves nothing. Give it three months of consistent logging — that is when the signal separates from the noise.

Magnesium glycinate (400mg/day), Riboflavin B2 (400mg/day), CoQ10 ubiquinol (200mg/day with food), Ginger root (500–600mg/day). All are low-risk at these doses. Discuss with your doctor before starting.

Daily routine
Magnesium glycinate
Migraineurs consistently show lower intracellular magnesium. Glycinate is well-absorbed. On swim days split the dose — some post-swim, rest at night.
300mg — night
Ginger
Inhibits prostaglandins involved in neurogenic inflammation. Useful preventively and acutely at first sign of onset.
540mg — night
Riboflavin B2
Supports mitochondrial energy production in brain cells. 400mg is the therapeutic dose. Expect bright yellow urine — harmless, confirms absorption.
400mg — morning
CoQ10 ubiquinol
Electron carrier in the mitochondrial energy chain. Take with a meal containing fat. Ubiquinol is the active form — preferable over 40.
200mg — with main meal

Specific questions — not a food diary
Ate within 2 hrs of waking
Longest gap between meals
Going more than 5–6 hours without eating causes blood sugar to drop, triggering a stress hormone response — one of the more reliable migraine triggers.
Meal with significant protein
Bedtime snack
Blood sugar drops naturally around 2–4am — a common migraine onset window. A small slow-release carbohydrate before sleep (two Medjool dates, a banana, a small bowl of oats) buffers this trough. Most useful on exercise days. Not about eating more — about preventing a specific overnight trigger.

Early signal — swim days and bedtime snack
4 of your 5 migraines occurred within 20 hours of a swim day. On 3 of those days the bedtime snack was not logged. Water temperature below 15°C was recorded on 2 of those days. Routine compliance was below 80% in the 3 days preceding each event.

Pattern summary for clinical review
Migraine frequency has reduced 43% since beginning the prevention protocol 90 days ago. The strongest correlations are post-exercise onset (particularly cold water swimming) and nights when the pre-sleep carbohydrate snack was omitted. Barometric pressure drops appear as a secondary but consistent factor. Protocol compliance correlates positively with lower frequency weeks.
