# ~Maybe~Sure: The personal finance app for everyone > [!IMPORTANT] > This repository is a community fork of the official (now abandoned) Maybe Finance one. > You can read more about this in their [final release](https://github.com/maybe-finance/maybe/releases/tag/v0.6.0) doc. ## Backstory The Maybe Finance team spent the better part of 2021/2022 building a personal finance + wealth management app called "Maybe". Very full-featured, including an "Ask an Advisor" feature which connected users with an actual CFP/CFA to help them with their finances (all included in your subscription). The business end of things didn't work out, and so they shut things down mid-2023. Having spent the better part of $1,000,000 building the app (employees + contractors, data providers/services, infrastructure, etc.) they decided to revive the product as a fully open-source project. The goal was to let you run the app yourself, for free, and use it to manage your own finances and eventually offer a hosted version of the app for a small monthly fee. Which they did. Offer a hosted version for a short while. That didn't work either (well, the "making it a sustainable B2C business" part didn't) so here we are hosting a community maintained fork hoping to keep the codebase alive and who knows what else will come next.
