Migraine support for when light hurts

Your screen shouldn’t make a migraine worse.

MigraineNest is a dark, low-stimulation companion for the middle of an attack — with simple comfort guidance, quick pain and medication logging, and patterns you can check later.

Built by someone who gets migraines. No bright white dashboard, no long form to finish while your head is pounding.

● Interactive prototype — tap around

See what MigraineNest feels like during an attack.

Open Relief Mode, follow a comfort guide, log pain or medication in a couple of taps, then check your patterns when you feel better.

  • ◆Follow-along acupressure — real hand-motion guides for your temples, the base of your skull, between your brows, and LI4 on your hand.
  • ◆Log without leaving Relief Mode — pain, aura, light sensitivity, and saved meds stay a couple of taps away.
  • ◆Spot your patterns later — compare attack days with everyday days and test one small prevention step at a time.

Why it's different

Built for the moment most migraine apps ignore.

🌑

Dim when it matters

Relief Mode lowers luminance, restrains color, and keeps controls large when even looking at your phone hurts.

Designed for light-sensitive moments.
🫂

Support now, details later

Follow a gentle comfort guide and record only what matters. The deeper review can wait until the attack has passed.

Less to process when your head is pounding.
◌

Notice patterns without obsessing

Compare attack days with everyday days, see what keeps showing up, and treat triggers as clues rather than blame.

Personal patterns, with uncertainty kept visible.
Why I'm building this

I get migraines. I’ve opened tracking apps during an attack and been hit by a bright white screen, then asked to work through a long form while my head was pounding.

MigraineNest started with a simpler question: what would I actually want from my phone in that moment? A darker screen. Fewer decisions. A little guidance. A fast way to remember what happened.

This is still an early prototype. I’m sharing it now because people who live with migraine should shape what gets built next.
