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 • No accounts • No ads • Free • Apple Watch app makes it even easier to track 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.

Love the app, but your update just wiped out all of my data from the past several weeks and started me over at the beginning. Maybe you could add that to your bug list next time.

Please make it able to cycle through the thirteen weeks as is, but still able to mark on the other virtues, so that you can reflect on how that weeks virtue focus effects your progress on the other virtues. Then this would be a five star app for me.

I love this app. I didn’t realize how full of faults I was until I started using this. I genuinely believe it will help you grow as a person. Ben was a wise fellow.

This app has all the features I want for my journal, but I wish I could set when my start day is. I want to transfer my paper journal to this app, instead of having to time when so download/reset the app.
