Guide
How to use a migraine journal
A headache diary is one of the most useful things to bring to a doctor's appointment about migraine. It shows how often headaches happen, how bad they are, what might set them off and what helps. It's for your records, not medical advice.
Mark headache days
The headache-days tracker has a row each for headache, medication, sleep, water, caffeine, skipped meals, screen time and period, and a column for every day.
Log each attack
The headache diary records start and end, severity, symptoms, possible triggers, medication and how much it helped.
Track sleep
Monthly sleep logs show whether poor nights come before bad days.
Record medication
The medication tracker shows how often you're taking pain relief, which is worth discussing with your doctor.
Look for patterns
Write what you notice at the end of each month, then take the diary to appointments.
What to include in a migraine journal
A headache diary should be easy to fill in even on a bad day. This one includes:
Calendar
Weekly and monthly pages
Dated month calendars and a weekly page for each week, for appointments and notes. No daily pages; the headache-days tracker covers every day.

Digital vs printable migraine journal
A digital migraine journal works with dark themes, which can be easier on the eyes during an attack.
A printable headache diary is easy to hand to a doctor. Print each month on A4 or US Letter.

An example week in a migraine journal
One goal, followed through a single week. The milestone and weekly actions are the kind of lines the AI goal step writes onto your month and week pages; the daily notes are what you add by hand.

See all themesCan I use it as evidence for a disability claim?
Many people keep a headache diary to show frequency and severity, and some claims processes ask for one. The diary records dates, duration, severity and how attacks affect you; ask your representative or doctor what format they need.
Is it medical advice?
No. If your headaches change, get worse or come with new symptoms, contact a doctor.
Is there a free migraine journal?
You can build this migraine journal and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.
Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?
Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.
Can I print the migraine journal?
Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the migraine journal on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.
Is the migraine journal dated or undated?
Dated by default, starting in January 2027. You can pick any start month and year (including this month), a length from 3 months to 5 years, and Monday or Sunday weeks. Or switch to undated and write the dates in yourself, so a skipped week isn't wasted.
Does the AI fill in the migraine journal for me?
Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.
How many pages is the migraine journal?
With the default settings it comes to about 140 pages. That includes 12 month pages, 53 weekly pages, the Headache Diary, Health Admin and Sleep pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.
Make it yours in about a minute.
