In 1726, on a long voyage home from London, Benjamin Franklin set himself a quiet project: to become a better man — not by grand resolution, but by patient daily attention. He chose thirteen virtues, gave one his full attention each week, and kept a small chart, marking each day he fell short. The goal was never a perfect record. It was the satisfaction of watching the marks grow fewer. The Franklin Chart brings that practice, faithfully, to your iPhone. THE METHOD - Thirteen virtues, from Temperance to Humility, in Franklin's own order and words. - One virtue under close attention each week — the focus rotates, completing the full course every thirteen weeks. - A weekly chart where you mark a fault on any day you slip. A mark is information, never a verdict. THE EVENING EXAMINATION Franklin sat each day with two questions — one in the morning, one at night. The app guides that short reflection and lets you note, in a line, where the day went. MAKE IT YOURS Write what each virtue means for you, in your own words and your own life. A virtue you can picture is a virtue you can keep. SEE IT DIMINISH A gentle progress view shows your faults week by week, and where your attention is owed next — so you can watch the line tend downward over time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN The Franklin Chart collects nothing. Everything you record stays on your device. No accounts, no advertising, no tracking — and it works entirely offline. It is, like the practice itself, yours alone. "I was surpris'd to find myself so much fuller of faults than I had imagined; but I had the satisfaction of seeing them diminish." — Benjamin Franklin
