- Mima: iOS and Android. You speak or write in the app, and Mima organises what you say into observations. It remembers what you told it and proposes links between symptoms and habits that you can confirm, reject or edit. It keeps a list of questions for your doctor, gives you a summary to share on a web page, lets you attach files, and is not limited to cancer. Built with patients and doctors. It is free to start, with an optional premium plan. You can use it without uploading any document, and you can start without an account: open the app and talk to Mima right away, with no email or phone number. The app is available in 12 languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi and Bengali.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a migraine app without an account?
The pages we read for the other apps do not say whether an account is required, so check each sign-up. With Mima you can start without an account.
Can I use a diary on paper?
Yes. See the migraine diary.
