Headache Diary App to Track Your Pattern

A good headache diary is less about collecting every possible detail and more about keeping the details that matter within reach. Claru helps you build a practical record of your headaches and migraines, one entry at a time.

A tool for clearer records, not diagnosis or emergency care.

A calmer way to keep track

A diary only works if it fits real life

Paper notes disappear. Long forms are easy to abandon. The best headache diary app gives you a simple way to record what is happening now, then makes your history easy to review when you need it.

01

Make a quick entry

Capture where the pain is, how it feels, when it started, and what else is going on without interrupting your day.

02

Add the context that matters

Note sleep, meals, stress, weather, cycle changes, or screen time when they feel relevant to your own pattern.

03

Use the record in conversation

A clear timeline can help you describe your experience more precisely at an appointment.

What to keep in view

Small entries can build a more useful picture.

You do not need to capture everything. Start with a few consistent signals, then add context when it helps you make sense of your experience.

  • Location and quality of pain
  • Nausea, light, and sound sensitivity
  • Daily routine and context
  • Relief strategies and their effect

  • Open a quick migraine entry when symptoms begin
  • Keep clear days visible alongside logged attacks
  • Return to past entries and follow up on what helped
