Hey r/SideProject! Over the past few months, I’ve been building **Dim**, a minimal Android companion app to log, understand, and manage migraine attacks. ### 💡 The Backstory: I suffer from chronic migraines. Whenever an attack hit, trying to log it in existing apps felt like a chore—there is too much visual noise and endless multi-step screens when your brain is throbbing. What bothered me even more was seeing basic features like exporting a doctor-ready report locked behind $10/month subscriptions. So, I built Dim solely as a personal side project for my own daily use. I had no plans to release it publicly. But as it came together, it helped me manage my flare-ups so significantly that I realized it could help thousands of others dealing with the exact same pain. I decided to open-source the entire project so anyone can use it for free. ### 🔍 Personalized Tracking & Pattern Detection Engine: - **Passive Biometrics (Health Connect):** Correlates attacks with your actual sleep stages, resting HR, and daily activity from your watch/band. - **Intelligent AI Summaries:** Synthesizes attack data and biometrics into actionable, grounded summaries with specific timing limits—no boilerplate advice. - **Medication Efficacy & Overuse Checks:** Evaluates whether medications actually shorten your attacks and monitors monthly usage thresholds. - **Interactive Follow-Up Chat:** Tap "Reply" right inside your insights to ask specific questions about your data trends. ### 🛠️ Key Product Features: - **Calm, Sensory-Friendly UI:** Pitch-black minimal design built to be gentle on eyes during photophobia. - **Frictionless Logging:** 2-tap Quick Settings Android tile + interactive head/neck pain maps. - **Free Clinical Doctor Exports:** Instant, ready-to-print PDF reports for doctor and neurologist visits. - **100% Local-First:** Everything is stored on-device (SQLite). No accounts, no subscriptions, no ads, and encrypted backup/restore. --- ### 🚀 Scope of Improvements (Looking for Feedback!) Since this started as a tool for my own specific habits, I'd love your outside perspective as builders and users to help shape the scope of improvements: - What additional data points or analytics would make this more valuable? - Any UX friction points you notice in rapid health logging? - What features would you like to see on the roadmap next? 👉 **GitHub:** https://github.com/AdityasahuX07/Dim-Migraine-Tracker I'd really appreciate your thoughts, feedback, and feature ideas!   submitted by   /u/Own-Pomegranate-7290 [link]   [comments]
