Reshape the goals feature to live on top of linked-account balances. A goal's balance is now the live balance of every depository account linked to it — no parallel ledger, no "log a contribution" step. The "Add contribution" affordance is replaced by a 7-day GoalPledge (kind: transfer | manual_save). GoalPledge::Reconciler matches incoming Transactions (via Account::ProviderImportAdapter) and Valuations (via Account::ReconciliationManager) against open pledges within ±5 days, ±$0.50, or ±1% — single hook covers every provider (Plaid, SimpleFIN, Lunchflow, Enable Banking, Brex, IBKR, Kraken, SnapTrade) plus manual balance edits. A 15-minute Sidekiq cron sweeps expired pledges. Goal model: balance derived from linked_accounts.sum(&:balance), new pace (90-day net non-transfer inflow), months_of_runway, last_matched_pledge_*, pledge_action_label_key (the "I just transferred…" vs "I just saved…" verb switch). UI: - Index gets a 3-card KPI strip (Contributed last 30d / Needs this month / On track) plus a pending-pledges callout. - Show page swaps the "Add contribution" CTA for the pledge modal, replaces the contribution list with a pending-pledge banner, and rebuilds the funding widget into per-account rows with a 12-bucket weekly sparkline and last-30 inflow. - Projection chart adds a required-line (dashed light from today → target) and a translucent pending-pledge bump at today's X. Schema (3 migrations): 1. goal_pledges table with PG enums (goal_pledge_kind, goal_pledge_status), open-by-expiry index, and unique-when-not-null matched_transaction_id. 2. Drop goal_contributions. 3. Partial unique index on transactions ((extra -> 'goal' ->> 'pledge_id')) built CONCURRENTLY so it doesn't block prod. After pulling: run bin/rails db:migrate, then commit the schema.rb sync separately (or let CI regenerate). Deferred to v1.1: allocation columns, contention/archived banners, "why is this behind?" diagnostic, reallocate flow, refresh-sync + Plaid throttle, unallocated-cash chip, joint-account approval, goal_activities log, polymorphic matched_entry_id/type for manual pledge audit.

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.
Forking and Attribution

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.
