AuraWise: a calm, private migraine journal

Features

Made for the hard days

When a migraine hits, the last thing you need is a complicated app. AuraWise asks a few gentle questions, remembers the details and turns them into patterns you and your doctor can use.

Log in about 10 seconds

Slide to match the feeling

A calm orb changes color as you move the slider from 1 to 10, with a word and a short description for every level. Pick when it started, and you are nearly done. No wrong answers.

Quick start times: just now, 30 min ago, 1 hour ago, this morning, overnight, or an exact time.
Still going? Leave it open and tap It ended on Today when it passes.
Aura first? One switch records zigzags, flashes and blind spots.

Step 1 of 4 of the log flow: How intense is it right now? A severity orb shows 7, Severe, above a colored 1 to 10 slider

Possible triggers

One tap for what might have set it off

Choose any that apply from twelve common triggers, or add your own. AuraWise quietly looks for patterns over time, so you do not have to.

Poor sleep
Stress
Caffeine
Screen time
Dehydration
Weather change
Alcohol
Skipped meal
Bright light
Hormonal
Loud noise
Strong smell

Symptoms and relief taken, like nausea, light sensitivity, ibuprofen or a triptan.
Notes for anything else: what you were doing, what helped.
A kind moment after every entry, with a small insight about your month.

Step 3 of 4: What might have set it off? A grid of trigger tiles with emoji, from Poor sleep to Strong smell, and a field to add your own

Today

A gentle overview, not a scoreboard

Today counts the days since your last migraine and shows how close you are to your longest calm stretch. When a pattern shows up, it tells you in plain words.

Pattern spotted, for example "4 of your last 6 migraines followed poor sleep".
Average severity, hours lost, your top trigger and the most common start time.
A five week calendar colored by severity, from mild to intense.

Choose what to include: your name, charts and trends, relief taken and personal notes.

FAQ

Questions, answered

When can I get AuraWise?

AuraWise is in final testing and coming soon to the App Store and Google Play. The public TestFlight beta for iPhone and iPad is open now: join it here.

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later, and Android phones, foldables and tablets with Android 13 or later. It works in portrait and landscape, in light and dark mode.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign up and no login. Open the app and log your first migraine when you need to.

Where is my journal stored?

Only on your device, inside the app. AuraWise has no servers and no cloud sync, so we never see your entries. Your phone's own backup, such as iCloud Backup or Google backup, can include it under your own account (you can switch this off in Settings), and you can save a backup file to iCloud Drive, Google Drive or Files to move your journal to a new phone, even between iPhone and Android.

How does the free trial work?

Every feature is free for 7 days, starting when you save your first entry. Until then, no clock is running. When the trial ends, nothing is charged automatically. You decide whether to get Plus.

What happens if I do not get Plus?

Your journal stays yours. You can always open, read, edit and delete your entries, and mark an ongoing migraine as ended. Logging new entries, Insights and the PDF report are part of Plus.

How do I cancel a subscription?

Anytime, in the subscription settings of your Apple Account on iPhone and iPad, or in Google Play on Android. Plus stays active until the end of the period you paid for. Lifetime is a one time purchase that never renews. The support page has the steps.

Can I move Plus between iPhone and Android?

Purchases belong to the store you bought from. Plus bought on the App Store restores on Apple devices signed in to the same Apple Account, and Plus bought on Google Play restores on Android devices signed in to the same Google account. The two stores do not share purchases.

Is AuraWise a medical device?

No. AuraWise is a journal. It helps you record what happens and share it with your doctor, but it does not diagnose, treat or give medical advice. If you have a sudden, severe or unusual headache, or symptoms that worry you, contact a doctor or emergency services.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Logging, the journal, Insights and the PDF report all work with no connection at all. Only buying or restoring Plus needs the App Store or Google Play.
