Seize Day

Seize Day is three spoken audio sessions for the day, a voice with music under it: one for the morning, one for before work and one for before exercise. It is free, with no ads, no account, no sign-in and nothing to buy. Open it, choose a session, press play. Each session is about eleven minutes, read by Emily or George, with music under the voice or the voice on its own. Each one ends by counting you up, eyes open. THREE SESSIONS • Morning: for the start of the day, once you are awake. Listen sitting up. • Work: before you sit down to work. It asks you to set everything else aside, bring one thing forward and start on it. • Exercise: before a walk, a run, the gym or a class. Listen sitting down, before you start, never while you are moving. ONE SCREEN • Today is the main screen. The three sessions, the voice and music you chose, and a play button. • Choose who reads it: Emily, clear, warm and British, or George, low, steady and British. Both are synthetic voices, made with an AI voice service. • Choose what plays underneath: music made for each session, soft at first and building towards the end, or voice only. • Hear each voice before you choose. • Light or dark, one tap from Today. ON YOUR PHONE • The session keeps playing with the screen locked, with play and pause on the lock screen. • A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget, a Control Centre control and Siri can start your session. • The first play fetches the session, about 10 MB, and keeps it on this phone, so later plays start straight away with no connection. It uses Wi-Fi, and asks before using mobile data unless you allow it in Settings. THE REST OF THE DAY • An optional daily reminder, a quiet notification at the time you set, that opens on Today. It asks for notification permission only when you switch it on. • An optional check-in later the same day, two questions, and a simple list of your days. No streaks. Both stay on this phone. PLEASE READ A spoken audio session, using hypnosis techniques, to listen to before your morning, your work or your exercise. It is not medical care, it is not a medical device, and it is not treatment for any condition. • Do not listen while driving or operating machinery. • Do not listen if you have epilepsy without speaking to your doctor first. • Do not listen while you are intoxicated. • Sit or lie somewhere safe while you listen, not while walking, running or cycling. Exercise sessions are for before you start. • If you are under 18, listen only with a parent or guardian's agreement. • If you have a health condition, or have not exercised for a while, check with your doctor before starting a new exercise routine. PRIVACY There is no account and there are no ads. Your choices and your days stay on this phone. They are never sent to us or anyone else, and only your phone's own iCloud backup includes them. Downloading a session tells our audio host, Cloudflare, which file you asked for. Cloudflare keeps a sample of requests for up to 31 days, and we never use it to identify anyone. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. Privacy policy: seize-day.com/privacy. USED SEIZE DAY BEFORE? Versions 1.0 to 1.2 were a habit tracker. Version 2.0 replaces it with these sessions. Nothing from the old app is shown, and 2.0 does not send any of it anywhere. From Totté Studios, makers of Seize Sleep, Seize Week, Seize Light and Seize Life.
