About HeadWell
See your next migraine coming. HeadWell is the first migraine app that gives you a daily risk forecast — combining your iPhone's barometer, Apple Health, your menstrual cycle, and your own logged patterns into one clear answer: how likely is today, and what should I do about it? When you can see attacks forming in the prodrome window, you can act before pain takes over. HOW IT WORKS 1. Log a headache once and HeadWell starts learning your patterns. After three entries, the forecast unlocks. 2. Every morning, HeadWell reads barometric pressure, weather shifts, last night's sleep, HRV, and your cycle phase — then shows you today's risk on a 7-day calendar. 3. When risk climbs, open Activities for guided breathing, neck stretches, or craniofacial massage protocols designed to head off attacks in the prodrome window. PREDICT Your iPhone has a built-in barometer that reads atmospheric pressure to ±0.1 hPa — more accurate than any weather forecast. HeadWell pairs it with Apple WeatherKit for a hyper-local pressure signal, then weights sleep deficit, HRV drops, cycle phase, and your personal triggers. The result: a concrete risk number (32%, not "moderate") with the top two drivers shown plainly. No black box. LOG WITHOUT THE PAPERWORK Quick log captures pain level and head location in 8 seconds. Need detail for your neurologist? The full log covers headache type, 19 anatomical pain regions, aura type with animated visual education, prodrome and recovery symptoms, medication dose and timing, and effectiveness scoring. "Hey Siri, I have a headache" works too. UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS 12 personalized insight cards unlock as your data matures — sleep deficit correlation, caffeine windows, perimenstrual clusters, weather sensitivity, day-of-week patterns, medication effectiveness rankings. Each card shows a relative risk multiplier from your own data ("3.2x more likely after poor sleep"), not a generic factoid. TREAT IN THE MOMENT Three guided, evidence-based intervention modalities — all on-device: • Breathing — 4-7-8, Box, and Coherent protocols with an animated coach and HealthKit mindful-session write-back • Cervical stretches — five anatomically targeted routines (SCM, upper trapezius, levator scapulae, splenius capitis, suboccipital release) • Craniofacial massage — temples, occipital line, frontal sinus, lymphatic drainage, masseter A Vagal Points progression system (10 levels) rewards consistent practice tied to clinical activity, not arbitrary engagement. SHARE WITH YOUR DOCTOR One-tap doctor-ready PDF report with narrative summary, pattern highlights, trigger frequencies, medication effectiveness table, month-over-month trends, and HealthKit correlations. No PII — your name and email stay out of the file. Built-in MIDAS, HIT-6, and ACE-10 questionnaires give your clinician the validated scores they need. BUILT PRIVACY-FIRST HeadWell never sells your data, runs ads, or tracks you. Apple Health samples are read on-device — only daily aggregates are ever stored. Your full data is exportable to CSV or JSON anytime. Mandatory medical disclaimers on every clinical surface remind you that HeadWell is for tracking and education, not diagnosis or treatment. WHO IT'S FOR Adults living with chronic migraine, episodic migraine, tension-type, cluster, vestibular, sinus, or hormonally-driven headaches who want to understand their patterns and bring real data to their care team. — HeadWell is a consumer wellness app for self-tracking and education. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are experiencing a sudden, severe, or entirely new type of headache, seek emergency medical attention.

What’s new
Version 1.4.0 · Updated September 11, 2026
Your early warning signs, finally visible. • Early Warnings — see every warning sign you've logged before a headache, and what happened next. Find it on Home, in Insights, or in Profile. • Say what happened — mark a warning sign as "passed" or link it to the headache that followed, any time. Both are easy to undo. Two days later, we'll gently ask if a headache followed. • Add your own — if your warning sign is "I smell garlic", add it in your own words. It's tracked and synced like any other, and it counts toward your daily risk. • Much bigger lists — 23 warning signs, 32 triggers, and 25 symptoms, chosen from published research, with the most common shown first. • Warning signs now shape your forecast — logging one updates today's risk estimate. • More honest numbers — entries you haven't answered yet are no longer counted as successes. Fixes: returning users are no longer asked to redo the intake survey, and the "was this the headache?" prompt no longer closes before you can answer. HeadWell is a tracking tool, not a medical device. Its estimates are informational and not a diagnosis.
