The Short Version
Aiding Migraine is a personal diary for tracking your migraines. It is not medical advice, it can't diagnose you, and it doesn't replace your clinician. Your data stays on your device, there is no account, and the app is provided as-is while it is in beta. Be kind with feedback — it helps make the app better.
Beta Status
Aiding Migraine is currently in beta. That means it is still being tested and improved, and things may change, break, or look unfinished. Features may be added, changed, or removed as the beta goes on. We may ask beta testers for feedback, and we may end or change the beta at any time.
Beta testers use the app at their own discretion. If the app isn't working for you, you can stop using it and delete your data at any time (Settings → Clear All Data).
Not Medical Advice
Aiding Migraine is a tracking diary, not a medical device and not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Nothing in the app — including your charts, patterns, MIDAS or HIT-6 scores, weather correlations, or any pattern estimates — diagnoses a condition, predicts what will happen, or tells you what treatment or medication changes to make. Only a qualified clinician who knows your history can do that.
Always talk to your doctor (or another qualified health professional) about your symptoms, any new or worsening pattern, and before starting, stopping, or changing any medication or treatment. If something feels sudden, severe, or different from your usual pattern, get urgent care.
Reports you export from the app are a summary of what you logged, to help you talk with your clinician. They are not medical records.
Your Data
Your migraine data is stored on your device, in your browser, by default. There is no account, no login, and no password. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail.
Two features are optional and off by default, and only send the minimum needed if you turn them on:
- Weather tracking: your location (city/ZIP you enter, or GPS coordinates if you allow them) is sent to Open-Meteo and Nominatim/OpenStreetMap to fetch weather data. Your migraine data is never sent.
- Push notifications: your push subscription, timezone, notification schedule, and attack-onset timestamps (to time follow-up reminders) are sent to this project's notification server. No pain levels, notes, medications, or other health details are sent.
Backups are your responsibility. Your data lives only in this browser on this device. If you clear your browser data, lose your phone, or uninstall the app, your data is gone unless you exported a backup first. Export regularly (Settings → Export), and keep a copy somewhere safe. If you turn on optional passphrase encryption, there is no recovery if you forget your passphrase.
Acceptable Use
Use the app for your own personal migraine tracking. Don't use it to:
- Provide medical advice or a diagnosis to anyone else
- Present the app's output as a medical record or a clinical assessment
- Try to access, disrupt, or abuse the notification server or anyone else's data
- Use the app for anyone under 13 without a parent or guardian
Feedback
If you send feedback, report a bug, or suggest a feature — by email, through GitHub, or any feedback form — you give us permission to use it to improve Aiding Migraine, without payment or obligation to credit you. Don't include personal health details you wouldn't want shared in a bug report; keep feedback to what the app did and what you'd like it to do.
No Warranty
Aiding Migraine is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied — including that it will work without interruption or error, that your data will be preserved, or that it is fit for any particular purpose. We are not liable for any loss of data, missed notifications, or any decision made based on the app's output. Your health decisions belong with you and your clinician.
Intellectual Property
Aiding Migraine is open source under the MIT License. You can review the code on GitHub. The name "Aiding Migraine" and the app's design belong to the project; please don't present a copy of the app as your own or as an official medical product.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms as the app changes, especially during beta. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Built by Someone Who Gets It
Aiding Migraine was built by someone who lives with migraine, for people who do too. It won't fix your migraines — but it can help you see them clearly, and bring that picture to the people who can help.
