At age 20, Benjamin Franklin created a simple system to become a better person: track 13 virtues, focus on one each week, and honestly review your day every evening. He used this method for the rest of his life. This app brings his paper chart into your pocket. HOW IT WORKS Each week spotlights one virtue. Every evening, you mark the virtues you fell short on — small dots, just like Franklin's original notebook. Over time, you watch the dots diminish. The goal isn't perfection. It's awareness. THE 13 VIRTUES Temperance, Silence, Order, Resolution, Frugality, Industry, Sincerity, Justice, Moderation, Cleanliness, Tranquility, Chastity, and Humility — each explained in plain, modern language. FEATURES Daily check-in grid inspired by Franklin's original paper chart Weekly virtue focus on a 13-week rotating cycle Beautiful ink-dot grid showing your week at a glance Journal for evening reflections tagged to specific virtues Streak tracking and progress insights Built-in guide explaining Franklin's complete method Evening reminder notifications Export your data as CSV or JSON Minimalist design inspired by Japanese zen aesthetics YOUR PRIVACY No accounts.
