HeadPain for iPhone · Support
A headache diary you can show a doctor.
Log a headache in one tap, mark where it hurts on a 3D head, and see what tends to come before it, so you can describe it clearly to a doctor. No account, no analytics, no advertising.
HeadPain is a diary, not a diagnosis. It’s always better to check with a doctor, and to get emergency care for a sudden, severe or unusual headache.
Log a headache
In Now, tap the tile for the condition you have. Add details when you can: how strong it is, where it hurts, what came before it and what helped. Diary keeps your episodes and daily check-ins on a calendar, and a follow-up asks how it went.
Without opening the app:
- Log a headache widget: your own conditions, one tap each. Add details later.
- Your head today widget: none, mild, moderate or severe, in one tap.
- One coming widget: notes the time you feel one coming, in one tap.
- Controls for Control Center and the Lock Screen do the same, and open Calm mode or Help.
Mark where it hurts
On an episode, tap the places on the head that hurt. Look in 3D turns the head to the front, the sides, the back and the top, and lists the places you marked. Each place keeps how strong it was and what it felt like, so a doctor sees where it hurt and how.
Patterns
Patterns shows what came before your headaches more often, or less often, than on other days, under the app’s own warning: seen together, not proven. Change one thing at a time, and talk it over with your doctor.
Calm mode and help
- Calm mode dims the screen and walks you through the steps of your plan for a bad headache.
- Help lets you message or call the helper you chose in You > Safety and help, or call emergency services.
Apple Health and weather
Both are off until you turn them on, in You > Apple Health and weather:
- Use Apple Health reads your sleep, steps, workouts and menstrual flow, so Patterns can include them. Save each headache to Health also writes your headaches to Health.
- Add weather to my diary uses your approximate location to add air pressure, humidity and temperature to your days.
The privacy policy explains exactly what each one reads and sends.
