The problem

The warning was always there.
You just couldn't hear it.

Most migraine attacks begin quietly — a day or two before the pain, your body shifts. One quiet sign is how your heart rhythm varies during the day. It's real, but far too subtle to notice on your own.

77%

of attacks are preceded by a prodrome phase

~24h

median lead time before pain hits

“Mi notices the quiet shift — and gives you that time back.”

When you know a day or two ahead, you get two ways to act

Soften it — or stop it

Change the conditions before the storm builds. Small actions, taken early, can blunt an attack or head it off.

Hydrate and rest early
Lower stress, calm your system
Avoid your known triggers

Medicate at the right moment

Modern migraine drugs work far better taken early — in the prodrome, before pain fully sets in.

−46%

less progression to moderate-severe pain when a gepant is taken in the prodrome

PRODROME trial · Nature Medicine, 2024

Mi whispers signs the mind can read,
before the pain outgrows its seed.
It leaves its marks before the ache,
so mind may choose the paths to take.

The solution · Mi Watch

A gentle heads-up
before hard days.

Mi Watch reads one quiet signal from your Apple Watch — how your heart rhythm varies during the day — and every evening compares it with your own last 3 months. When today looks like the days before your past migraines, you get a gentle heads-up for the next 2 days.

Readsyour daytime heart rhythm (HRV), compared only with you

Learnsyour usual days first — 20 days with daytime readings, one star each

Tells youa heads-up for the next 2 days, with a simple tip for the evening

Mi Watch · how a heads-up happens Daytime HRV Your normal

One quiet signal. Your own normal. Time to act.

A simplified illustration, not real data — Mi compares your daytime heart rhythm with your own last 3 months, never with other people.

A gentle heads-up arrives — and when you open it, Mi shows exactly what it noticed and why.

Your daytime heart rhythm was lower than usual today — a bit like the days before your past migraines.

Why

↘ Daytime HRV: lower than your usual
• Heads-up open until Thursday evening
• From your Mi Lab: last coffee before 14:00 today

Why it happens · next 2 days

Not a concept: Mi's first live prediction came on July 11, 2026. Since October 2026, Mi's new evening check sends heads-ups like this in real time.

Not a number on a dashboard. A heads-up in Mi's voice — written for you, not for everyone.

How it works

Mi learns you — then warns you.

The more you use it, the sharper it gets. Here's the whole idea in four steps.

Step 1

Your watch reads you

Apple Watch records how your heart rhythm varies during the day — just wear it as usual.

Step 2

Mi learns your normal

Each day with daytime readings lights a star. After 20 of them, Mi knows your usual days.

Step 3

Mi learns your pattern

Every evening it compares today with the days before your past migraines — so log each one.

Step 4

A gentle heads-up

When today looks like those days, Mi gives you a heads-up for the next 2 days.

Honest by design — Mi always shows where it is: Learning → Trial forecast → Full forecast. Every heads-up is checked against the migraines you log, and you see how often it was right.

What you need

Three things to get started.

That's it. If you already have an Apple Watch and iPhone, you're ready.

Mi Lab · your triggers

Most advice says quit.
Mi shows you how to keep going.

A few quick quizzes read how your body actually reacts — to coffee, alcohol, certain foods, missed meals, light and sound. Not generic rules. Your body's real thresholds.

Not “stop drinking coffee” — but your last cup by early afternoon. Not “give up wine” — but dry whites over reds. You don't lose what you love. You learn how your body handles it.

A behavioral self-assessment — not medical advice.

Freedom, not a ban list

Knowing your type means tailoring, not quitting. Enjoy what works for your body — and sidestep what doesn't.

Stop guessing your triggers

Years of “was it the cheese? the wine? the coffee?” — answered. You finally know what's yours, and can act before it hits.

The insight, without the lab

Genetic panels mapping these traits run $200–400 and take weeks by mail. Mi's quizzes read your real reactions — free, in minutes.

Mi's quizzes read your body's reactions, not your DNA — a different, practical path to the same answer: what to enjoy, and what to watch.

Why Mi is different

Most apps just say “careful.”
Mi tells you what to do.

Think of a weather forecast paired with your own list of what harms you. Mi has both — and they meet the moment you're warned.

Knowing early is half of it.
Knowing what to do — that's the other half.

Not generic advice from the internet. A specific action for your body, at your moment. That's the difference between an alarm — and a companion who knows you.

To our knowledge, MIgraine Companion is the first consumer app to combine Apple Watch heads-ups with personal trigger profiles — not a black box, but explainable and yours.

More than predictions · the philosophy

Mi doesn't fight your migraine.
Mi keeps you company through it.

Most apps — and most of us — treat migraine as an enemy to battle. But the research on chronic illness points the other way: combat language (“fighting,” “battling,” “victim of”) deepens helplessness and turns up the body's stress response. A companion frame does the opposite.

You are not your migraine.

Mi is built on narrative therapy — the approach of Michael White and David Epston. Its core move is externalization: separating the person from the problem. You're not “a migraineur.” You're someone who experiences migraine — and that small shift in language loosens the grip, lowers self-blame, and gives back a sense of agency. Mi is that idea made into a character: not an enemy to defeat, but a companion whose calm reflects your own care.

Around that philosophy, Mi gives you tools for the hard moments:

Mi, your companion

A character, not a chatbot. Mi's calm reflects your care — a gentler way to relate to something you live with every day.

Ask Mi

A knowledgeable guide that has read the research — and knows your patterns. Ask about triggers, timing, what to try next.

Ask Mi

Calm on demand

Guided 4-7-8 breathing and gentle tools to steady your system — for the moments the storm is close.

A diary that speaks doctor

Track attacks, then hand your neurologist a clear report — the single most useful thing you can bring to an appointment.

The science — and the honesty

Built on real research.
Honest about what's still unproven.

Mi stands on published science — and we're just as clear about the parts still being validated. No overclaiming.

What we won't pretend

Mi can be wrong — it misses some attacks and flags some quiet days. Its accuracy is still being validated, and it learns from every migraine you log. We'd rather tell you that plainly than sell certainty we haven't earned. The prodrome science is settled; that your personal engine is accurate enough is what we're proving now.

The roadmap

Where Mi is — and where it's going.

We're early, and honest about it. So far Mi Watch is tested on the founder's own migraines — here's the real path from today to a forecast proven on many people.

July 11, 2026 · Mi's engine fired its first real prediction — and it was right.

A live prodrome warning, from real biometrics. Proof the engine works.

Now

Through Oct - Nov 2026

New engine, live

The new evening check is live. We're tuning it on fresh data — and studying night signals for wake-up migraines.

Dec 2026 – Mar 2027

Test on a cohort

Bring in a wider group of people with migraine and check how accurately Mi predicts for them.

Mar – Jun 2027

Refine on real results

Tune the engine using what the cohort's data shows — sharpening accuracy where it matters.

Jun 2027

Ready for everyone

When the accuracy holds up on many people, Mi becomes a full forecast.

Dates are targets, not promises. We'll call the forecast proven only when its accuracy holds up on real people — not before.

Why this exists

Thirty years of migraine.
Built into an app, during a war.

My first migraine came at twelve, with aura. For thirty years it ran my life — up to fifteen or twenty attacks a month. Slowly, by tracking and learning my own patterns, I brought that down to three or four.

I build MIgraine Companion from Dnipro, through the war — some nights writing code by candlelight when the power is out. I'm patient zero: every prediction is tested on my own body first. My wife and co-founder Marina leads the design — she made it photophobia-first, because she's watched what light does to me during an attack.

Just the two of us. Thirty years of pain turned into something that might spare someone else a little of it.
