Track your motion sickness patterns
Most people know they get motion sick. Far fewer can say which journeys actually do it, how bad it usually gets, or whether the thing they always try makes any difference. Log an episode when it happens, in about twenty seconds, and after three entries this page shows you the counts. It is free, it stays in your browser, and there is no account.
This is a personal diary, not a diagnosis. It describes what you recorded and nothing more. Severe or persistent symptoms, dizziness with no motion involved, or vomiting you cannot stop belong with a clinician rather than a diary.

What to record
Four fields, chosen because they are the ones you can still answer honestly an hour after a bad journey. Nothing here asks you to rate a feeling you have already stopped having.
- The date
- Defaults to today and you can change it. Backfilling last month from memory is fine, and two episodes on the same day are two entries.
- Where you were
- Car, bus, train, plane, boat, VR, gaming, or a screen in a moving car. This is the field that ends up telling you the most, because it is the one you can act on.
- How bad it got
- One to five, from queasy to vomited. A rough scale you apply consistently beats a precise one you argue with.
- What helped
- Fresh air, the horizon, putting the screen down, ginger, medication, sound therapy, or nothing. Ticking nothing is a real answer and worth recording.
Why a diary and not a streak
Habit trackers reward you for filling them in. That logic breaks here: every entry is a bad day, so a long run of them is the worst possible outcome. There are no streaks, no badges and no nudge to log more. An empty month is the result you want, and the monthly chart is drawn so an empty month looks like one.
The summary counts and averages your own entries. It will not tell you what caused an episode or what to do next, because a handful of entries from one person cannot support that. What it can do is answer questions you cannot answer from memory: whether the back seat really is worse, whether it has been getting less frequent, and whether the thing you always reach for was actually there on the days that went well.
Common questions
Where is my log stored?+
In this browser, in local storage on this device. There is no account, nothing is uploaded, and no one else can read it. The code has no upload path at all.
How many episodes before the patterns appear?+
Three. Below that, any pattern would say more about chance than about you, so the summary stays hidden and tells you how many more to go.
Can I show this to a doctor?+
You can print it or save it as a PDF and take it along. It is a self-kept diary of what you chose to write down, which makes it useful background for an appointment rather than a medical record or a diagnosis.
What happens if I clear my browsing data?+
The log goes with it, the same as any other site data. Export the file first if you want a backup.
Does it sync between my phone and my laptop?+
No. The log lives in one browser on one device. Export it from the first and paste it into the import box on the second if you need both.
How many episodes does it hold?+
Two hundred. Past that the oldest entries are dropped to make room, and the page tells you when that happens.
