Seize Sleep is one spoken session to listen to in bed at night, a slow voice with music under it. It is free, with no account, no sign-in and nothing to buy. Open it, press play, put the phone down. The session is about fourteen minutes, read by Emily or George, with music under the voice. Played as Sleep, it fades out slowly at the end instead of bringing you back up, and the phone goes quiet. ONE SESSION A NIGHT • Tonight is the main screen. The session, the voice and music you chose, and a play button. • Choose who reads it: Emily, soft, slow and British, or George, low, warm and British. Both are synthetic voices, made with an AI voice service. • Choose what plays underneath: Journey, Journey and waves, Ambient, Deep, Rain, or voice only. • Hear each voice, and each music bed with the voice over it, before you choose. • The music can carry on after the voice has finished, for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, or until morning, then fade out by itself. • Ten minutes or the whole session, your choice, and remembered. At ten the voice fades out early. The whole session ends with a little music that fades out. • A night setting that shows everything in red for the darkest hours, one tap from the main screen. • Nap: the same session ends at ten or twenty minutes with a gentle sound, so a daytime rest does not run on. MADE FOR THE DARK • The session keeps playing with the screen locked, with play, pause and stop on the lock screen. • After a few seconds the screen goes almost black. Tap it to bring the controls back. • A sleep timer, from the player, fades everything out and stops after a time you choose. • The first play fetches the session, about 13 MB, and keeps it on this phone, so later nights play with no connection and no waiting. It uses Wi-Fi, and asks before using mobile data unless you allow it in Settings. THE EVENING AND THE MORNING • An optional bedtime reminder, a quiet notification at the time you set, that opens on Tonight. It asks for notification permission only when you switch it on. • An optional morning check-in, two questions, and a simple list of your nights. Both stay on this phone. PLEASE READ A relaxation session, spoken using hypnosis techniques, to listen to in bed at night. 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. • Use headphones or the phone's speaker at a low volume, and lie somewhere you are safe to drift off. • If you are under 18, listen only with a parent or guardian's agreement. • If you have trouble sleeping most nights, or think a medicine you take may be affecting your sleep, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. PRIVACY There is no account. Your choices and your nights stay on this phone and are never sent anywhere. Downloading the 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: seizesleep.com/privacy.

Add Seize Sleep to the Home Screen or the Lock Screen to start tonight's session with one tap, with your voice, music and length. • A Nap widget plays a nap at the length chosen in the app, ending with a soft gong. • Start or stop tonight from Control Centre, or from the Action button on iPhones that have one. • Ask Siri: "Play Seize Sleep", "Stop Seize Sleep" or "Nap with Seize Sleep". • With Increase Contrast on in iOS, the Night colours read more clearly. • The widgets play the session already on your phone. Before the first play, a tap opens the app. ### 1.1 — 2026-10-31 • The session is read more slowly, with longer pauses between sentences. • Hear before you choose. On first run and in Settings, Hear Emily or Hear George plays a short passage in that voice, and Hear Ambient, Deep or Rain plays that music with the voice over it. • No download step. The first time you press play, the session is fetched and kept on this phone, so later nights start straight away, even with no connection. On mobile data it asks first, unless you have allowed mobile data in Settings. • Night now also turns the bedtime reminder time and the buttons along the top of the screen red. • Switching between Day and Night no longer closes Settings. • When the voice finishes, the music that carries on after it now follows on from the music under the voice, in time with it. • If your headphones disconnect during a session, it pauses and stays paused until you press play, so it does not carry on through the phone's speaker. • Before you listen has a new line, about when to talk to a doctor or pharmacist. • A bar on the player shows how far into the session you are and how long is left. Drag it to move to another point. • Sleep plays the whole session and ends with a little music that fades out, instead of filling the time to twenty minutes. • The screen no longer dims by itself while a session plays. Lock the phone when you are ready, or turn on Dim the screen in Settings. • A nap now ends with a soft gong. ### 1.0 — 2026-10-23 No release notes. ## More apps by sebastian totte - [Seize Week](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/seize-week/id6780064014) - [Seize Life](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/seize-life/id6781084740) - [Seize Light](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/seize-light/id6784576883) - [Space Maze: Neon Tunnel Runner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/space-maze-neon-tunnel-runner/id6785442502) - [Seize Day](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/seize-day/id6787564262) All apps by sebastian totte: https://appshunter.io/developer/1819107580 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
