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.
Tick what applies to you, note how often it happens, and take it to your appointment, so the conversation starts further along. It describes your experience. It does not say what is causing anything: ticking most of these does not mean you have Migraine, and ticking a few does not mean you do not. Only a clinician can work that out with you.
The list comes from the NHS and charity sources linked further down this page, and from what people living with migraine tell us they keep an eye on. It is a starting point, not a test.
How a day can feel
If your days sound anything like this, taluvu was made with you in mind.
“I know it's coming hours before it arrives.”
“Light and noise are things I have to manage.”
“I lose whole days to a dark room.”
“I'm frightened to make plans in case it happens.”
“Afterwards I'm 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.

Questions people ask
Migraine and taluvu, in plain answers.
Short, honest answers about what taluvu does and does not do for migraine. Nothing here is medical advice.
Is taluvu a migraine diary I can show my GP or neurologist?
Yes. A migraine diary is one of the things clinicians most often ask for, and taluvu keeps one without turning every day into a form. Record attacks, aura, light and sound sensitivity, nausea and the washed-out days after, then turn it into a Doctor Summary you can print or hand over.
Can I record the warning signs before a migraine?
Yes. Aura is in the starting palette, and anything else you notice beforehand, such as neck pain, yawning, cravings or mood changes, can be added in your own words. Having the warning and the attack written down in order is what lets a pattern show itself.
Does taluvu identify my migraine triggers?
No. taluvu never claims that one thing caused another. It shows what stands out across your record in plain English and leaves the interpretation to you and your doctor. What you notice is worth raising; what it means is theirs to say.
How often do I need to log to keep a useful migraine record?
As often as you can, and no more. taluvu has no streaks and no badges, a check-in can be a single tap, and your summary says honestly how many days went unrecorded rather than pretending they were fine.
