Seients shows live free-seat counts for the city's municipal study halls and 50+ public libraries — sorted by what's open and closest to you, with an alert when your favourite frees up.
Why Seients
One glance answers the only question that matters: where can I sit and study, near me, right now.
Real-time free-seat counts for Barcelona's night study halls, with a capacity bar so you know how full a room is before you go.
Every municipal public library, with today's opening hours and how busy it usually is — so daytime study is covered, not just the evening halls.
Sort by most free seats or by walking distance. A "best right now" pick surfaces the single closest open spot with space.
Star a favourite room and get a push the moment seats free up — no more refreshing or walking over to a full hall.
No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. Your location stays on your phone — it's only ever used on-device to measure distance.
Català, Castellano, English and Français — with a calm dark mode and offline fallback when you lose signal on the metro.
How it works
It instantly lists every study hall and library, marking what's open now and how many seats are free.
Sort by free seats or distance, check the map and today's hours, and head over knowing there's room.
Favourite the rooms you use and let Seients ping you when they free up — so your spot finds you.
Honest data
Availability comes from the Ajuntament de Barcelona's open data and the city's study-hall service. Seients relays it faithfully and tells you exactly how fresh each reading is — counts only refresh while a room is open, and it says so plainly instead of pretending.
