The problem

Migraine affects roughly one in seven people, and living with it means tracking a moving target: when attacks hit, how bad they were, which symptoms came with them — aura, nausea, light and sound sensitivity — plus the possible triggers around each one, from poor sleep to barometric pressure, and how many days you reached for acute medication. Most people try to hold all of it in memory, or scatter it across a notes app and a calendar.

Then comes the neurology appointment. It is short. And the single most useful thing you could bring — what has actually been happening, over months — is spread across your memory and a few half-kept notes.

Temple exists to fix exactly that. Log an attack in seconds, see your real pattern, walk in with a clear PDF.

What we refuse

• No diagnosis, no predictions. Temple is a diary, not a doctor. It never tells you what you have or forecasts your next attack — it records what happened so you and your clinician can read the pattern.
• No cutesy design, no mascots. You’re an adult managing a real neurological condition, and the app should look like it knows that.
• No guilt streaks. A missed day isn’t a broken streak. Temple is a record, not a habit game — log when there’s something to log.
• No data harvesting. Your diary stays on your device. There is no account and no server to breach.

Who we are

Temple is made by Alican Basak, an independent studio building small, focused, Apple-native apps. One developer, no growth team, no investors pushing for engagement metrics — which is precisely why the app can stay a quiet personal instrument instead of becoming another subscription coach.
