Soul Ledger
Run the real Cheshbon HaNefesh — 13 middot, one a week, marked on a dot grid
Lefin's 1808 accounting of the soul, as a working ledger rather than a reading list: the 13 middot in canonical order with their maxims, a focus trait that rotates itself every week, a tap-to-mark daily grid where a mark is a lapse, a 13-week season chart and a trend line per trait. Free, private to this browser.

What you can do in Soul Ledger on the web
The whole 13-middah scaffold, hardcoded
Menuchat HaNefesh through Prishut in Lefin's canonical order, each with its maxim and a line of practical guidance for the week's work — the public-domain Cheshbon HaNefesh text, nothing to rebuild each season.
The rotation runs itself
One anchor date drives everything: week index, focus middah, season number and week-in-season. Nothing to advance by hand, and the app always opens on the trait you are actually working.
Daily dot grid
Seven hard cells for the focus week. Tap a day you slipped and it fills; tap again to clear. A mark means a lapse, never a streak — the same logic as the paper Franklin/Lefin tally chart.
The 13-week season chart
Every trait as a row: worked, live or ahead, with its lapse tally for the season and a progress bar through the 13 weeks. Switch between seasons — four make a year.
Per-trait trend across seasons
Lapses per season for every trait you have worked, labelled improving, steady or slipping, so you can finally see which middah is actually moving.
Private reflections
A note attached to any day's mark — the journaling half of the practice — readable back from that trait's page, exportable as CSV, and never sent anywhere.

Try it with sample data: Back-dates the practice 22 weeks and 3 days so the ledger opens mid-Season 2 on Shtikah (Silence), week 10 of 13, with about 45 marks spread across two full seasons of the 13 traits and seven reflections written on them. You can start fresh at any time.
