MaybeSure: 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 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.
Join us?
