* feat(insights): proactive financial intelligence feed

Adds a nightly job that analyzes each family's finances in pure Ruby and
surfaces typed, stateful insights on the dashboard and a new /insights page.

- Insight model (active/read/dismissed) with a per-family dedup_key unique
  index so nightly re-runs refresh rows instead of duplicating them
- Seven generators (spending anomaly, cash-flow warning, net worth milestone,
  subscription audit, savings rate change, idle cash, budget health) built on
  IncomeStatement, BalanceSheet, RecurringTransaction, and BudgetCategory
- LLM used as a writer, not a reasoner: Insight::BodyWriter narrates
  pre-computed facts via the configured provider, with an i18n template
  fallback so self-hosted installs without API keys work identically; bodies
  are only (re)written when an insight is new or its numbers changed
- GenerateInsightsJob: cron fan-out per family, per-family advisory lock,
  metadata-diff upsert that preserves read/dismissed state for unchanged
  signals and reactivates on material change
- Dashboard insights_feed section (top 3, collapsible/reorderable) and an
  /insights feed page with turbo-stream dismissal; viewing the feed marks
  insights read
- Tests for the model, job upsert semantics, and controller flows

* fix(insights): address Codex review — expiry, budget metadata, LLM usage

- Expire visible insights whose condition cleared: generators declare the
  insight types they produce, the registry reports which generators ran to
  completion, and the job expires visible insights of those types whose
  dedup_key was not regenerated. A crashing generator can't wipe out its
  healthy insights, and an expired insight reactivates when its condition
  returns — unlike a user-dismissed one, which stays dismissed.
- Include a bucketed budget-spent percent in budget_at_risk metadata so the
  body refreshes when overall usage moves >=10 points even if the same
  categories remain flagged.
- Pass family to chat_response so LLM narration is recorded in llm_usages.

* fix(insights): address CodeRabbit review

- Skip the mark-as-read write for Turbo hover-prefetch requests
  (X-Sec-Purpose) so unread badges don't clear before a real visit
- Show the New pill on the dashboard feed (active = unread there; the
  feed never marks insights read)
- Filter idle accounts in SQL instead of a per-account exists? loop
- Eager-load merchants in the subscription audit query
- Widen the advisory-lock key to the signed-bigint range and log when
  acquisition fails so a skipped nightly run is observable
- Mirror the dedup_key unique index as a model validation
- Assert the refresh action enqueues for the signed-in family

* fix(insights): clear stale lifecycle timestamps on reactivation

When an insight resurfaces, the row now leaves no contradictory state
behind: the material-change path clears both read_at and dismissed_at,
and the expired-recovery path clears read_at. Tests assert the contract,
and the dashboard feed test now also locks in the unread "New" badge.

* fix(insights): drop redundant standalone family_id index

Every composite index on insights already leads with family_id, so the
auto-created single-column index was pure write overhead.

* fix(insights): stop nightly drift from resurrecting dismissed insights

Three generators stored continuously drifting values (projected amounts,
starting balance, current net worth) in metadata, and any metadata diff
counts as a material change: the body is rewritten (an LLM call when a
provider is configured) and read/dismissed state is cleared. Dismissing a
cash-flow warning was undone at the next 6:00 run.

Metadata now carries only the signal identity plus a coarse bucket, the
same damping the budget generators already use; display values live in
facts. Also orders the idle-cash pick by balance so the selected accounts
don't flip between runs, and documents the dollar-scale threshold
assumption on the relevant constants.

* fix(ds): map DS::Button aria_label into the aria hash

A bare aria_label: option reaches the tag helpers as a literal aria_label
attribute (Rails only dasherizes the nested aria: hash), so the icon-only
fallback overrode it and screen readers announced the insight dismiss
button and the popover trigger as "X".

* fix(insights): gate LLM narration behind AI consent

The nightly job runs unprompted for every family, so narration now
requires someone in the family to have AI enabled: consent to share
financial facts with the provider, and a cost cap in managed mode. The
template fallback keeps behavior identical otherwise. Narration failures
are captured via DebugLogEntry so support can see them.

Adds BodyWriter coverage, including a template-interpolation test for
every generator template key.

* feat(insights): rework the dashboard feed

The feed rendered full insight cards inside the section shell — the only
widget nesting card-on-card — and appended below the fold for every
family with a saved section order. It now mirrors the outflows and
balance-sheet list idiom (inset well with an uppercase mini-header, white
row block, 28px sentiment-tinted icon circles via color-mix on the DS
CSS variables, right-aligned key figures) and leads the dashboard for
saved orders that predate it.

Icon color comes from sentiment, not priority — a savings-rate
improvement is high priority AND good news, and must not render red; red
is reserved for a projected-negative balance. Rows have no hover wash
(cursor plus a gentle icon scale, like the sibling widgets), links to
/insights disable Turbo prefetch so the mark-as-read actually fires for
mouse users, and the standard widget-size popover offers Half/Full. Full
stays the default: the feed is far shorter than any other single-width
widget, so a half default leaves a grid hole the masonry cannot backfill.

* feat(insights): actionable cards, dismiss undo, live refresh

Each row now persists its display facts (new jsonb column) alongside the
change-detection metadata. Facts refresh every run without touching the
body or user state, which is exactly why they are not part of the
material-change comparison.

The card gains what the stored data always supported: a type-and-period
meta line replacing "x minutes ago", a right-aligned key figure (green
only for good news), and a contextual link resolved from the subject ids
in metadata — category, account, recurring transaction, budget month —
omitted when the subject no longer exists.

Dismiss is forgiving: a toast in the notification tray offers undo, and
undismissing restores the row as read rather than re-badging it.
Milestone insights can never regenerate once dismissed, so this closes a
real loss path. Upsert failures are captured via DebugLogEntry.

Manual refresh gets feedback: the button swaps to a disabled checking
state, the page subscribes to a family-scoped stream, and the job
broadcasts the refreshed list and the idle button when it finishes (also
after a lock-skipped run, so the button cannot stay stuck).

Savings copy is sign-aware: a negative rate reads "you spent more than
you earned" with true minus signs. The empty state swaps Lucide sparkles
for the brand assistant glyph (DS::EmptyState learns icon_custom:).

* feat(insights): top-bar entry with unread count

The dashboard feed hides at zero insights and nothing else linked to
/insights, so the manual refresh (and the empty state) were unreachable
for exactly the families who need them: fresh setups before the first
6:00 run. The sticky top bar travels to every screen and its right
cluster had room, so insights get an icon entry there with a monochrome
unread badge. Prefetch is disabled on the link for the same
mark-as-read reason as the feed.

Sure: The personal finance app for everyone

Get involved: DiscordWebsiteIssues

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 20212022 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 didnt 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.
