It's a new capability of the AskQuestion tool that they added.
I’ve been suffering from migraines for the past few years and wanted a dead simple way to log when they happen, as well as any other contributing factors I could think of. Inspired by the simplicity of spreadsheets, I built a grid of events, and as you tap on cells, you log “dots”. Those dots, over time, reveal patterns.
I’ve already identified several contributing factors to my migraine triggers using it. It’s been so genuinely useful I wanted to share it with others hoping they might also benefit.
The next big release is coming out later this week which includes visualizations, charts, and on-device analysis of your journal to provide insights.
But I ended up taking it too far. Boundaries start to get blurry, my value started to get wrapped up in my service, to the point it became “well if I stop serving I’ll be worthless”. Which is a tough feeling to face, especially when a subset of the people you end up serving, while appreciative, really end up not caring that much about you as a person. They’re not in a place to give you emotional support, usually.
All that to say, balance is the spice of life. Service is great. Just be sure to balance it out with another source of replenishment.
It’s an iOS app to help tracking events and stats about my day as simple dots. How many cups of coffee? Did I take my supplements? How did I sleep? Did I have a migraine? Think of it like a digital bullet journal.
Then visualizing all those dots together helps me see patterns and correlations. It’s helped me cut down my occurrence of migraines significantly. I released the full app last month and have been learning the difficulty of marketing and social media.

Would love to hear more feedback on how to improve the app!
I appreciate your interest!
Sort of like a digital bullet journal. You setup some rows of events you want to track, then just tap for when/if that events happens. It’s already helped me spot certain triggers for my migraines, which I can now minimize. My wife has been finding it helpful to diagnose sleep problems. I think it might be super helpful to others with trying to understand lifestyle choices and how it impacts their wellbeing.
About to roll out the beta. Hoping to have a full release by the end of the year.
It’s my first iOS app in 8 years! Learning SwiftUI after UIKit has been quite the shift.
