Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Quick answers about privacy, doctor reports and low-sensory tracking.

How does Cephala work as a migraine diary?
Record pain on a 1–10 scale and select any medication you took. You can add symptoms, triggers, duration and notes later. Dim Shield darkens the screen when you turn it on. No account or mandatory end-of-attack timer is required.
Where are my records stored?
Your diary is stored on your iPhone by default. You can choose iCloud file backup, Apple Health export or file sharing. Apple and RevenueCat process purchase and subscription information. Cephala does not operate a remote database of your health entries. See our privacy policy for details.
Can I share a report with my doctor?
Yes. Create a one-page PDF summary of your logged entries to share or print. It summarizes the selected period and shows up to ten recent entries. One PDF export is free; further exports require Pro. Ask your clinic which information it needs.
What does the medication-day reminder show?
It compares logged medication days with your selected 10- or 15-day threshold. ICHD-3 thresholds differ by medicine class and are not guaranteed safe limits. The Pro calendar meter displays status; it does not send medication-overuse notifications, diagnose or prevent MOH. Discuss medication use with your clinician.
Does Cephala track weather or predict attacks?
Cephala can record local barometric pressure on supported iPhones with sensor permission. Optional Pro pressure-drop notifications also need notification permission. It does not track temperature, provide weather forecasts or predict or prevent migraine.
What is free, and what requires Pro?
Basic logging, the calendar, Dim Shield and widgets are free. The free medication list allows up to three medicines, and one PDF export is included. Pro allows more medicines, further PDF exports, advanced charts, the 90-day report range, the calendar medication-day meter and pressure-drop notifications. Check the in-app paywall for current offers.
