Follow Benjamin Franklin's 13-week virtue system used for nearly 300 years to build discipline, honesty, moderation, industry, humility, and more. • Focus on one virtue each week • Takes one minute every evening • Free, no ads, and no account necessary • Apple Watch and widget make it even easier to track your virtues In 1726, while on an 80-day ocean voyage from London to Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin developed a plan and corresponding chart for regulating his future conduct. He based his plan on a chart of thirteen virtues. He committed to giving strict attention to one virtue each week - placing a mark on his chart each time he transgressed that week’s virtue. After thirteen weeks he moved through all thirteen virtues. He would repeat the course four times a year. Use this modern incarnation of Benjamin Franklin’s original chart to improve and regulate your daily conduct. Every evening review your day. Tap the day's date to place a mark if you transgressed the week's virtue. One virtue is highlighted every week and the whole chart should be completed four times in a year. The goal is to live your days - giving strict attention to each virtue - without having to place any marks on your chart. Thank you for checking out Ben's Virtues. If you like the app please let me know what virtue you are currently focusing on by leaving a quick review.

Not a wheel. Not a coin flip. Your gut, decoded in 60 seconds. Spinner apps decide FOR you at random. Decizo doesn't guess - it surfaces the decision you already made. Type your dilemma, start the 60-second countdown, and answer four quick instinct questions while it runs: - Your first reflex, before the arguments start - The Regret Flash: close your eyes, picture choosing one side, then tell us if you felt relief or regret - both directions - What you're secretly hoping the answer is - Whether what's holding you back is fear or a real preference Weighted scoring turns those answers into one clear call with a short reason - like "your first instinct and your relief test both pointed here; your hesitation was fear, not preference." GUT TRUST SCORE Twenty-four hours later, Decizo asks: was your gut right? Your honest answers build a personal Trust Score over time - real evidence that your instinct deserves more credit than the loop in your head. BUILT FOR THE SPIRAL - A 60-second countdown that forces a call before overthinking restarts - Panic Mode: 10 seconds, for when you truly can't wait - A haptic breathing rhythm to steady you while you answer - A running tally of time reclaimed from overthinking TUNED TO YOUR DILEMMA On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the questions adapt to the actual decision you typed - processed entirely on your device. Other iPhones get the same method with the standard questions. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no server. Every decision and score stays on your phone. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. Purchases are handled by Apple and our billing provider; nothing about your dilemmas or your history is ever sent anywhere. NO TAKE-BACKS Once you answer, that answer locks. You can't switch it, you can't negotiate with it, you can't restart the loop. That isn't a limitation — it's the whole exercise. Decisiveness is a muscle, and every locked answer is one more rep. START FREE Try Decizo free for 3 days — every feature, no limits. After that, Decizo Pro keeps it going.
