Hi PH,
I created VirtueFocus, a complete self-improvement toolkit based on Benjamin Franklin's time-tested method. The backstory: In 1726, a 20-year-old Benjamin Franklin devised a system to cultivate moral perfection. He identified 13 virtues—Temperance, Silence, Order, Resolution, Frugality, Industry, Sincerity, Justice, Moderation, Cleanliness, Tranquility, Chastity, and Humility—and tracked his progress daily with a simple chart. He credited this practice for much of his success.
What VirtueFocus does:
- Track all 13 virtues daily with Franklin's original grid system
- Focus on one virtue each week in 13-week cycles
- Get morning motivation and evening reflection reminders
- Review your progress with detailed statistics
- Works offline with encrypted local storage, no account needed
Why I built this: Most habit trackers focus on doing things. Franklin's method focuses on being better—building character, not just checking boxes. I wanted to bring this 300-year-old wisdom into a modern, beautiful app.
I'd love to hear: Have you tried Franklin's virtue system before? Which virtue do you find most challenging to practice?
