emimate

The headache diary you fill in with one tap.

One tap opens the attack, one tap closes it. Everything else is optional: the details go in whenever it suits best, during the attack, right after it or days later.

The main screen of Emimate: a single button, Start now, with the recent attacks listed below it.

Why it exists

Emimate comes from someone who lives with headaches. During an attack, filling in a long form is the last thing anyone manages to do, and a diary that asks for too many steps ends up empty. Emimate asks for one gesture, and waits.

Simplicity

One tap now, the details later

The main screen has a single button: press it when the attack begins and press it again when it has passed. From that moment the attack is recorded, and no field is required.

  • Intensity, where it hurt, symptoms, medications with the number of doses, possible triggers and a free note.
  • They can be filled in during the attack, straight afterwards or days later: the person writing decides, not the app.
  • While the attack is running, a notification shows the timer and the button that closes it. A home screen widget does the same.
  • If an attack is recorded late, the date and time are picked from the calendar.

Pain location

Where it hurt, marked on the head

Fifteen areas, front and back. Left and right are the ones of the person marking them, not the screen's. The areas go into the report and the export along with everything else, and the report sums them up on a pair of face diagrams, with the areas shaded darker where the pain came back most.

History

The month at a glance

Every attack stays recorded with its times, duration and intensity. The calendar shades the days by intensity and sums the month up in three figures: how many attacks, how many hours in total and how long they lasted on average.

Themes and colours

The colours are yours to pick

A light theme, a dark theme or the system's own, and several colour scales for intensity. During an attack the dark theme is the one many people prefer, when light is hard to bear.

Report

A document your doctor reads in a minute

The PDF export is not a list of data: it is a laid-out A4 page, with a header, summary figures, a calendar month by month, the pain location and the full table of attacks with times, duration, symptoms, medications, triggers and notes.

  • Choose the period: the last 3, 6 or 12 months, any range you like, or the whole diary.
  • The file opens in another app or is shared like any other document.
  • The same data also exports to CSV, for anyone who prefers a spreadsheet.
The export dialog: PDF or CSV, the choice of period, and the commands to open or share the file.
The first page of the PDF report: the header, five summary figures, the pain location on the two face diagrams, the monthly overview and the table of attacks.

Privacy you can check

Emimate does not request permission to access the internet, and anyone can verify that in the app's permission list. There is no server to send anything to: no cloud, no usage statistics, no automatic backup to online services.

The diary stays on the phone. To move to a new phone, export the whole diary to a CSV file and read it back when you need it.

Privacy policy

No in-app purchases, no subscription, no feature reserved for a paid version. And no advertising.
