What is Sure?

Sure is a community fork of Maybe Finance, a full personal finance and wealth app that its company built in 2021 and 2022, open-sourced, then abandoned. The fork keeps it alive: you track accounts, spending and net worth in one place and reach it from a browser, a macOS desktop app, mobile apps, the API or LLM agents. Self-hosting runs on Docker, and a Helm chart is included for Kubernetes. Language files cover 75 locales.

Good fit if

  • You want a Mint- or Monarch-style overview of your money on your own server.
  • You used Maybe Finance and want a maintained continuation.

Look elsewhere if

  • You budget with envelopes and want a lighter app: Actual Budget.
  • You mainly track a stock and crypto portfolio: Ghostfolio.

Before you adopt it

Sure is AGPL-3.0 with no paid parts in the repository. The Maybe name and logo are trademarks of Maybe Finance Inc., so forks must not use them. Development is very active and spread across about thirty contributors. The project is young; its Docker Compose setup runs PostgreSQL and Redis among other services.
