Part meditative, part social, Vineyard is a simple sanctuary for virtuous content, conversation, and contemplation, centered on balance, not binge. Vineyard exists not only to help you grow in virtue with others, but to connect you to a network of vetted virtue makers. Creators on Vineyard earn every time you view their inspiring articles—so they can continue to bear more fruit for you, and for our culture. On Vineyard, you can: - Discover and follow vetted virtue makers bearing Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, and support them just by viewing their works. - Receive daily bite-sized feeds (Harvests) prepared specifically for you. - Unlock your daily harvests with a brief breathing prayer unique to each day. - Be reminded to put your phone down at regular intervals. You should be spending more time with people than with your apps—including this one. - Participate in conversations as edifying as the content itself. Uncharitable dialog is monitored and removed to keep things wholesome. - Listen on the go. Convert any article to a podcast and put your phone away for fewer distractions. - Be inspired by fellow virtue seekers. See who others are following and which articles they’ve favorited. The world is noisy—take refuge on Vineyard.
