A steady tap on your wrist. A paced breath you feel rather than watch. A one-minute 100 Hz tone. A timed hold on the spot an acupressure band sits on. All drug-free, all free and unlimited, no account.

Named for what they actually do, with the evidence, or the lack of it, stated next to them.
A steady, unhurried tap on the inside of your wrist. Something to rest your attention on while a wave passes. Ten levels, adjustable without stopping.
Your watch taps a long swell in and a longer fade out, so you can pace your breathing with your eyes shut and your arm down.
A pure 100 Hz tone for one minute, through headphones, at everyday volume. The frequency from the 2025 Nagoya University paper.
Shows you the spot three finger-widths below the wrist crease that an acupressure band sits on, then times a three-minute hold while you press.
Pulse, Breathe and Press keep running on your wrist with the display off, using watchOS extended runtime. No HealthKit, no workouts.
Say what set it off and how bad it is, and Queasy suggests the mode with the most relevant published work behind it, at a level and length to match.
Every mode shows what it leans on, in the source’s own words, with a link. Pulse is the one mode with nothing to cite, and it says so.
Every mode runs on iPhone alone, through Core Haptics and the speaker, because plenty of people who get queasy don’t own a watch.
Check-ins, sessions and settings never leave your iPhone and Apple Watch. No account, no ads, no tracking, and you can export the log for a doctor.
Queasy has no account and no sign-up. Your check-ins, sessions, and settings stay on your iPhone and Apple Watch. There are no ads and no tracking. Apple processes purchases, and RevenueCat receives only the identifiers needed to unlock and restore Queasy Pro.

Queasy moments arrive in the back seat, on a boat, at 7am in the bathroom, or in a waiting room, and reaching for your phone is usually the last thing you want to do.
Queasy lives on your wrist instead. Start a mode in a tap, let it run with the screen off, and adjust it without looking. If the watch is at home, everything runs on the iPhone instead.
It is deliberately four small things rather than one big claim. Nobody knows which of them will suit you, including us, so the app makes them all easy to try, tells you what each one leans on, and keeps a log so you can see which one you tend to come out of feeling better.
Pregnancy sickness is the reason a lot of people go looking for an acupressure band in the first place, and it is rarely only mornings. Queasy has morning sickness as one of its occasions: pick it and the pulse starts gentler, the session runs longer, and the guidance is the practical stuff rather than a promise.
An empty stomach is the usual trigger, so small and often beats three meals. Plain crackers before you sit up. Cold food rather than hot, because it carries less smell. Fluids between meals rather than with them. Acupressure bands are one of the drug-free things people try, which is what the Press mode is there to help you use properly, since most people wear the band in the wrong place.
What an app cannot do: if you cannot keep fluids down for a day, if you are losing weight, if you feel faint or your urine is very dark, call your midwife or doctor. Severe pregnancy sickness has a name, hyperemesis gravidarum, and it has treatment. Queasy is not it, and it will tell you so in the app.
All four modes are free, unlimited, with no account and nothing to sign up for. Free Pulse and Breathe sessions run two minutes; Tone runs its full minute and Press its full three, for everyone. The three-question check-in is free too, because it is the part that makes Queasy more than a buzzer.
Longer sessions. Pulse and Breathe up to 45 minutes, still running on your wrist with the screen off.
Your whole history. Everything past the last week, and which mode you tend to come out of feeling better.
Your own rhythm. Set the breathing pattern and pulse level yourself instead of taking the suggestion.
Press reminders. A nudge to run a hold a few times a day, the way the wristband trials spaced them.
Monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase, with a 1-week free trial on the subscriptions. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and vary by region. Subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in App Store settings.

Screen-off first. Something you have to stare at is useless in a moving car, so extended runtime and wrist-down operation came before any UI polish.
Three taps, maximum. Nobody wants a questionnaire when they feel awful. The check-in is three questions, and the mode cards skip even those.
Saying what it is not. A watch tapping your wrist is not acupressure and not nerve stimulation. Those are different things, done by bands that apply pressure and by cleared devices that deliver current. Queasy says that out loud, in the app and here, because the alternative is implying something it cannot back.
No gate on the way in. Asking a nauseated person for card details is both unkind and pointless. Everything works free; Pro buys length and memory.
Watch and phone parity. Every mode works without an Apple Watch, because plenty of people who get queasy don't own one.
Queasy is a set of drug-free comfort techniques you run yourself. It is not a medical device, it holds no regulatory clearance, and it does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent anything. It may not change how you feel. Acupressure bands and wrist stimulation devices sold for nausea are cleared medical devices; Queasy is neither, and is not a substitute for one. Evidence for wrist pressure and sound-based techniques is mixed and varies by person, and the app says where. If nausea is severe or persistent, comes with other symptoms, or you can’t keep fluids down, talk to a doctor.
On the App Store. All four modes free and unlimited, no account.
