Log meals and headaches, and see what often came before an attack.
Headclue is a migraine and headache diary that looks for what came before your attacks. Not just "cheese" or "onion", but raw red onion six to twelve hours earlier, or a short night followed by a busy day.
LOGGING AN ATTACK TAKES ONE TAP
Start an attack with a single tap, also without internet. During an attack the screen stays dark and calm, with three things only: intensity, medication taken and done. Symptoms and notes can wait until you feel better.
MEALS IN A FEW TAPS
Log what you ate by ingredient, with how it was prepared: raw, cooked, fried, pickled, fermented or aged. Reuse yesterday's meal, save your own standard breakfast, or mark a meal as skipped, because skipping meals counts too.
GENTLE REMINDERS
Three optional reminders a day, after breakfast, lunch and dinner. They stay quiet when you already logged that meal and never go off during an attack. The reminders are planned on your phone, no push server involved. Right from the notification you can choose "Same as yesterday" or "Skipped".
DAILY QUESTIONS IN TWENTY SECONDS
How you slept, stress, water, caffeine and alcohol. Add your town and Headclue adds the air pressure and weather for you.
WHAT CAME BEFORE YOUR ATTACKS
Headclue compares each attack with moments on the same weekday and time of day in the same month when you had no headache. What showed up more often before your attacks appears as a short sentence with the counts behind it, for example: "Raw red onion, 6 to 12 hours before. That was the case for 13 of 22 attacks, and at 8 of 50 comparable moments without a headache." You also see what seems to make no difference. A finding is a clue, not proof that something causes your headache. Discuss it with your doctor.
CALENDAR AND TIMELINE
A month calendar shows your attacks at a glance. For every attack you can open the 48 hours before: meals, sleep, stress and air pressure in one view.
MEDICATION DAYS
Headclue counts the days per month on which you took painkillers or triptans, so you can bring it up with your doctor in time.
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
No ads, no tracking, no selling of data. Your diary is stored on servers in the Netherlands. Download everything as a file whenever you like, and delete your account and all data in the app with a few taps.
Headclue is a self-monitoring diary. It does not diagnose, predict or treat, and it does not replace medical advice. With sudden, severe or unusual headache, contact your doctor or emergency services.
Available in English and Dutch.
