About HeadYogi, a Privacy-First Headache Tracker App

Headaches and migraines can derail your day. HeadYogi is an AI-supported headache diary, created by a neuropsychologist with lived experience of migraine. With a few quick logs, you can uncover patterns, remember what matters, and walk into doctor visits feeling prepared instead of guessing.

Who built HeadYogi

I'm a neuropsychologist and solo developer who also lives with migraine. I originally built HeadYogi to create a calm, trustworthy way to keep track of my own headaches—and then realized others might need the same.

I'm not a big tech company chasing growth or ads. HeadYogi is a small, focused project built to reduce stress, not add more to it.

You can start tracking immediately. Unlike most popular headache tracking apps, HeadYogi requires no login or account creation—because privacy and simplicity matter most when you're not feeling well.

Why HeadYogi exists

Living with headaches or migraines can feel isolating and overwhelming. The unpredictability, the difficulty remembering triggers, the challenge of communicating clearly with healthcare providers—these are real struggles for many people.

HeadYogi exists to make this a little easier. Instead of a complicated health platform, it offers a quiet, focused space to note what matters and see what might be connected, all within a privacy-respecting design.

My focus: clarity, autonomy, and calm

Everything about HeadYogi is designed around three core principles:

Privacy-first by design

Health data is among the most sensitive personal information, and it should be treated with the utmost respect. HeadYogi is built on a foundation of privacy: no ads, no trackers, no data selling, and complete user ownership of all information.

This isn't a marketing position—it's how the app actually works. Your data stays on your device or in your private iCloud. I don't run servers that collect or mine your information. HeadYogi is designed to respect your privacy by default.

What I don't claim

HeadYogi is a tracking and organization tool. It doesn't cure headaches, treat migraines, or replace medical care, and it doesn't promise miraculous results.

What it offers is a thoughtful way to track your headaches, understand your patterns, and prepare for more productive conversations with healthcare providers. Simple, honest, and focused on what it can genuinely help with.

My approach

HeadYogi is built with empathy for people who experience headaches and migraines. I know this can be a real, often challenging part of life, and my goal is to offer a tool that supports you without demanding much from you.

I've chosen to focus on doing a few things well: simple tracking, clear pattern visualization, useful exports, and complete privacy. I'm not trying to be everything to everyone—just a reliable, respectful companion for people who want to understand their headaches better.
