Living with migraine

A migraine tracker for the attacks, the warnings and the days after

A chronic illness tracker and gentle companion that already knows what migraine can involve — so you do not have to explain it from scratch.

What migraine can involve

Migraine is a neurological condition, not just a bad headache. An attack can bring severe head pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound and visual disturbance, and it can last from hours to days — often with a warning phase before it and a washed-out day or two after.

Around one in seven people live with migraine. What clinicians most often ask for is a diary: how often, how long, and what you noticed beforehand. taluvu keeps that record in your own words, without turning every day into a form. Its founder has lived with migraine for years — his story is here.

Around 1 in 7 people worldwide get migraine — roughly 10 million people in the UK.

How a day can feel

If your days sound anything like this, taluvu was made with you in mind.

  • “I know it is coming hours before it arrives.”
  • “Light and noise are things I have to manage.”
  • “I lose whole days to a dark room.”
  • “I am frightened to make plans in case it happens.”
  • “Afterwards I am wrung out and slow for a day or more.”

These are the kinds of things taluvu invites you to say in your own words — never a checklist of what anyone “should” have.

What taluvu helps you keep track of

Choose Migraine and it starts you with a palette, not a blank form.

These are things people living with migraine often want to keep an eye on. Remove any you do not need, add your own, and check in with a few taps on the days you have very little to give.
