Common questions

How do I log my first entry?

Open the App. On the Journal tab, tap the large card that says "How are you feeling?" — it takes you through six quick steps (severity, location, symptoms, triggers, context, review) and saves your entry. The whole flow takes about 20 seconds.

If you've already logged an entry today, the card changes color and shows today's severity. Tap it again to edit.

Can I log a migraine for a past day?
