Halira

Version 1.0 — out now on the App Store.

Free · No account · Requires iOS 16.4 or later on iPhone or iPad.

Five seconds a day

The Daily Stoplight: a diary you can keep on your worst days

Most diaries fail because attack days make them impossible. Halira's Daily Stoplight records your day's pain and function level in about five seconds — and it counts no-headache days too, so your record shows the whole month, not just the bad parts. When you have more to say, full attack logging is there: symptoms, possible triggers, pain locations, medications, and notes.

Real screens

What the app actually looks like

Four screens from Halira 1.0, in the order most days go: log the day, read the month, look at the patterns, hand over the report. Dark from the ground up, because a bright screen is hostile when your head hurts.

  1. Halira's Today screen headed “Quiet logging for hard days”: the Daily Stoplight rated No pain, Mild, Moderate, or Disabling with Mild — functioning selected, and trigger chips below where Poor sleep and Stress are highlighted.
    01 · Today

    Five seconds, even mid-attack

    The Daily Stoplight asks one question — how is today going — and answers in a tap. Chips for possible triggers sit right underneath, so the context gets recorded while you still remember it, and days with no headache are logged too.

  2. Halira's calendar for July 2026: counters reading 6 headache days, 4 medication days, 13 no-headache days and 3 disabling days, above a month grid of coloured dots and a legend for pain intensity, medication, treatment trials and no-headache days.
    02 · Calendar

    A month you can read at a glance

    Headache days, medication days, no-headache days and disabling days are counted at the top, and every day in the grid carries its own dots for pain intensity, medication and treatment trials. The whole month, not just the bad parts.

  3. Halira's Insights screen headed “Patterns, not verdicts”: tiles for 8 headache days, 6 migraine days, 6 medication days and 6 out of 10 average severity, a note that light sensitivity is the most repeated detail, and a 90-day pain intensity chart.
    03 · Insights

    Patterns, not verdicts

    Counts for the last 30 days, average severity across logged attacks, and a 90-day pain intensity chart in a clinician-friendly range. Halira surfaces what repeats in your own diary and leaves the interpretation to you and your clinician.

  4. Halira's doctor report: a 90-day Migraine and Headache Diary Summary card showing 18 headache days, 12 medication days, 77 percent data quality and average severity 6, followed by an appointment brief with Open with, Ask about and Medication prompts.
    04 · Report

    Hand over a record, not a memory

    A dated diary summary — headache days, medication days, data completeness, average severity — followed by a plain-language appointment brief of what to open with, what to ask about, and what to raise about medication. Exports as PDF or CSV.

What it does

A complete record, kept simply

  1. Fast migraine and headache logging

    Record attacks with pain level, symptoms, possible triggers, pain locations, and notes — built to be usable mid-attack, not just after.

  2. Five-second Daily Stoplight diary

    One quick entry a day for pain and function. No-headache days count as data, so your diary has a real denominator.

  3. Medication cabinet and dose history

    Keep your medications in one place with dose history and medication-day summaries, ready to review with a clinician.

  4. Local pattern maps

    On-device comparisons of daily factors against headache and no-headache days — possible triggers and possible protectors, framed as questions for review with your clinician, not conclusions.

  5. Treatment trial tracking

    When you and your clinician start a preventive, acute medication, lifestyle, or procedure trial, Halira records before/after windows and builds comparison summaries from your own diary.

  6. Doctor-ready reports

    Appointment brief, diary table, medication summary, function impact, data completeness, and clinician questions — exported as PDF or CSV from the data you choose to include.

  7. Backups you control

    Local JSON backup and restore for moving your diary between devices — no cloud sync, ever.

  8. Low-stimulation interface

    A dark, quiet design from the ground up, because a bright screen is hostile when your head hurts.

Privacy as architecture

Your diary is nobody's business but yours

Halira's privacy is not a policy promise — it's how the app is built. Your diary is stored on your device: there is no account to create, no developer cloud to sync to, and no analytics watching what you record.

What never happens

  • No account or sign-up
  • No developer cloud database
  • No analytics SDK
  • No advertising SDK
  • No AI service
  • No diary data sent to the developer

What stays on your phone

  • Attack and stoplight entries
  • No-headache days
  • Medication names, doses, and timing
  • Symptoms, possible triggers, and notes
  • Treatment trial details
  • Everything — until you export it

Exports are the only exit: when you share a PDF, CSV, or JSON backup, you pick the destination yourself. The developer collects no data.

For your appointment

Walk in with a report, not a guess

  1. Appointment brief The short version a busy clinician can absorb first.
  2. Diary table Your days, laid out — attacks, stoplight entries, and no-headache days.
  3. Medication summary What you took, when, and how often.
  4. Function impact How your days were actually affected, not just pain scores.
  5. Data completeness Honest about gaps, so the record can be read fairly.
  6. Clinician questions The things you wanted to ask and forget mid-appointment.
