User asked for demo seed variety so every goal state surfaces on at
least one card. Previous seed only spanned 4 AASM states; the
computed status (:reached / :on_track / :behind / :no_target_date)
and the edge-state copy paths (past-due target_date, open pledge
banner, "Last pledge matched") were absent.
New seed coverage matrix:
AASM states (column):
active → Vacation in Italy, Wedding fund, Emergency fund,
House downpayment, Coffee gear, Tax prep buffer
paused → Sabbatical
completed → Paid-off car
archived → Old laptop fund
Computed status (active goals):
:behind → Vacation in Italy, House downpayment, Tax prep buffer
:on_track-ish → Wedding fund (12-month timeline + small target)
:no_target_date → Emergency fund
:reached → Coffee gear (target 150 below any plausible
account balance — progress hits 100% live)
Edge surfaces:
Past-due active → Tax prep buffer (target_date 2.months.ago,
exercises "was due" header copy and the
months_remaining = 0 branch in
monthly_target_amount)
Open pledge banner → Vacation in Italy + House downpayment each
ship a single open pledge. The show-page
banner renders; the index pending-pledges
callout renders because @any_pending_pledge
flips true.
Matched pledge → Wedding fund: after the main seed loop,
find_by(name: "Wedding fund") + locate the
most recent non-claimed primary-account
inflow Transaction (>= 30 days, amount < 0
per Sure's sign convention), create a
matched-status pledge against it, stamp
the Transaction's extra->goal->pledge_id
per the partial-unique-index invariant.
The show-header then renders "Last pledge
matched N days ago" via
Goal#last_matched_pledge_at.
Implementation notes:
- Pledges spec embeds inside each goal_spec as an optional `pledges:`
array. The loop creates them after goal.save! using the goal's
linked_accounts as the default account; the GoalPledge#
account_must_be_linked_to_goal validation passes because every
spec's account is one of the goal's linked accounts.
- The matched-pledge seed is split into a dedicated helper
(`seed_matched_pledge_demo_for_wedding!`) because it depends on
Transactions seeded earlier in the demo flow. Both no-Wedding-
goal and no-recent-inflow guards bail cleanly so older demo
variants still work.
- All seed targets are intentional. Goal#status reads the live
linked-account balance + 90-day inflow at render time, so the
demo statuses adapt to whatever the rest of the demo seeded.
The targets are sized so the *intended* status is the most
likely one for typical demo data.
Local DB unaffected: this is the demo-family generator only, run
via `Demo::Generator.new.generate_default_data!` against a fresh
family.

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
This repo is a community fork of the archived Maybe Finance repo. You’re free to fork it under the AGPLv3 license — but we’d love it if you stuck around and contributed here instead.

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.
