# ~Maybe~Sure: The personal finance app for everyone Get involved: [Discord](https://discord.gg/36ZGBsxYEK) • [(archived) Website](https://web.archive.org/web/20250715182050/https://maybefinance.com/) • [Issues](https://github.com/we-promise/sure/issues) > [!IMPORTANT] > This repository is a community fork of the now-abandoned Maybe Finance project. > Learn more in their [final release](https://github.com/maybe-finance/maybe/releases/tag/v0.6.0) doc. ## Backstory The Maybe Finance team spent most of 2021–2022 building a full-featured personal finance and wealth management app. It even included an “Ask an Advisor” feature that connected users with a real CFP/CFA — all included with your subscription. The business end of things didn't work out, and so they stopped developing the app in mid-2023. After spending nearly $1 million on development (employees, contractors, data providers, infra, etc.), the team open-sourced the app. Their goal was to let users self-host it for free — and eventually launch a hosted version for a small fee. They actually did launch that hosted version … briefly. That also didn’t work out — at least not as a sustainable B2C business — so now here we are: hosting a community-maintained fork to keep the codebase alive and see where this can go next. Join us! ## Hosting ~Maybe~Sure Sure is a fully working personal finance app that can be [self hosted with Docker](docs/hosting/docker.md). ## Forking and Attribution This repo is a community fork of the archived Maybe Finance repo.
