* feat(goals): let a goal be spent without looking like it fell behind Coming home from the holiday a goal paid for dropped it from 100% to 20%. The money went where it was meant to go, and the app read that as failure. The only way back was to edit the target — falsifying what the user had actually set out to save. `consumed_amount` records what was spent ON the thing the goal was for, and progress reads `(backing + consumed) / target`. Spending the money is no longer indistinguishable from losing it. **The part that is easy to miss.** `consume!` also shrinks the earmark on the account by the same amount. Without that, money the user has already spent stays reserved and keeps its share away from every sibling goal — the exact double-counting the exclusivity rules exist to prevent, arriving through the back door. A test pins it through the pro-rata haircut, where the effect is visible: a sibling's backing grows as the spent share is released. **Kept separate from `completed_amount`.** That one freezes the BACKING at closure; folding consumption into it would count the same money twice on a goal partly spent and then closed. A test asserts each side is counted once. **A reserve refuses consumption outright.** It is drawn down and refilled, not spent, and recording a withdrawal as consumption would erase the shortfall the reserve exists to report. `account:` may be omitted only when the goal has one link — with several, guessing would silently pick a side. The controller refuses an account id that resolves to nothing rather than falling back to nil, which on a single-link goal would have recorded the spend against an account the user never named. The write is its own action rather than a verb branch inside `consume`: HEAD routes like GET but `request.get?` is false for it, so a branch would send a HEAD request down the write path. Brakeman caught that. bin/rails test: 7088 runs, 28510 assertions, 0 failures. RuboCop, erb_lint and Brakeman clean.

The lock was on the link, not the goal. `consumed_amount` lives on the goal, so two concurrent requests locking only their own links both read the same old value, both passed the target check, and both added to it. The whole check-and-write now runs under `with_lock` on the goal. Consuming more than the chosen link held was silently clamped: the link released what it had while `consumed_amount` took the full figure, so money counted as spent stayed reserved against every sibling goal. It is refused now — `:exceeds_earmark` — rather than half-applied. A dialog left open in another tab could still post to a goal that had since been completed or archived; `:not_active` closes that. Two validations stop the pair being separated after the fact: a goal that has recorded a spend cannot become a reserve (reserves refuse consumption, so the figure would count toward progress on an object whose model treats spending as a shortfall), and the target cannot be lowered below what was already spent. Consuming cleared the columns and left the memos standing, so an instance that had already read its backing kept reporting the pre-spend figure. Progress holding steady is the feature — the earmark shrinks by what consumption grows by — which is exactly what hid the stale backing. Also from review: `accessible_accounts` rather than the whole family for the account picker, `DS::Select` rather than a bare `select_tag`, the flash amount through `Money#format`, and the French label for the menu entry, which I had left untranslated.

It was also wrong in substance: mine omitted `@pooled_allocations`, and consuming shrinks a link's allocation, which is precisely what the pool is computed from. One list, kept in one place, stays right when a memo is added. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016GTNba5qE5NwzaHzbp27ye * docs(goals): put four comments back on the methods they describe Rebases had stranded them: a paragraph about clearing memos on an AASM transition, two about what reopening does to a frozen figure, and one about `reload` leaving memos standing had all piled up in front of `consumption_link_for`, which does none of those things. The last is dropped rather than moved — its explanation now sits at the call site in `consume!`, where the reset actually happens. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016GTNba5qE5NwzaHzbp27ye * fix(goals): keep a private backing account out of the consume dialog A goal can be backed by an account the viewer is not allowed to see, and the first pass only guarded the named-account path. Two ways round it remained. The dialog listed every link, so it named private accounts outright. And with `account_id` left blank the model picked the sole link on its own, without anyone having checked the viewer could reach it — so a direct POST reduced a private account's earmark, the figures moving afterwards saying roughly how much was in it. The controller now derives the eligible links from `Current.user.accessible_accounts`, the dialog renders those, and a blank id resolves only to a sole *eligible* account. With none the request is refused; with several it stays nil and the model asks, as before. Naming the account explicitly matters even when the goal has several links: the one the viewer can reach is not necessarily the one the model would have picked.

Sure: The personal finance app for everyone
Get involved: Discord • Website • Issues
Important
This repository is a community fork of the now-abandoned Maybe Finance project.
Learn more in their final release doc.
Backstory
The Maybe Finance (archived/abandoned repo) 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 Sure
Sure is a fully working personal finance app that can be self hosted with Docker. Sure can be accessed from a browser, the macOS desktop app, the mobile app, API clients, and LLM agents. See Sure Clients for an overview.

Performance Issues
With data-heavy apps, inevitably, there are performance issues. We've set up a public dashboard showing the problematic requests seen on the demo site, along with the stacktraces to help debug them.
