A migraine tracker born from personal need
Dots started as a personal migraine tracker. By gently logging symptoms, sleep, stress, and daily habits, patterns began to emerge.
Those patterns made it possible to identify triggers, make changes, and find relief.
Now it's here for anyone who wants that same quiet clarity—whether you're tracking chronic migraines, understanding your mood patterns, or simply trying to notice what shapes your days.
Dots doesn't diagnose or prescribe. It helps you notice.
