About this app

Need somewhere to study in Barcelona right now? Seients shows you, in one glance, which municipal study halls and public libraries have free seats — and which are closest to you.

No more walking to a full room or refreshing a website. Open the app and you instantly see what's open, how many seats are free, and how long it takes to walk there.

DATA SOURCES
Availability and opening hours come from the City of Barcelona's official open data and study-room service. Seients relays this public information and always shows how fresh each reading is:
• Open Data BCN — https://opendata-ajuntament.barcelona.cat
• Study rooms (sales d'estudi) — https://www.barcelona.cat/joves/salesestudiintranet/mapa/
• Barcelona Libraries — https://www.barcelona.cat/biblioteques/

Seients is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Ajuntament de Barcelona (Barcelona City Council) or any government entity, and it does not represent them.

Available in Català, Castellano, English and Français, with a calm dark mode.
