Maybe: The OS for your personal finances

Get involved: Discord • Website • Issues

Backstory

We 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 we shut things down mid-2023.

We spent the better part of $1,000,000 building the app (employees + contractors, data providers/services, infrastructure, etc.).

We're now reviving the product as a fully open-source project. The goal is 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.

Maybe Hosting

There are 3 primary ways to use the Maybe app:

1. Managed (easiest) - we're in alpha and release invites in our Discord
2. Self-host with Docker

The instructions below are for developers to get started with contributing to the app.

Requirements

• See .ruby-version file for required Ruby version
• PostgreSQL >9.3 (ideally, latest stable version)

After cloning the repo, the basic setup commands are:

cd maybe
cp .env.local.example .env.local
bin/setup
bin/dev

# Optionally, load demo data
rake demo_data:reset

And visit http://localhost:3000 to see the app. You can use the following credentials to log in (generated by DB seed):

• Email: user@maybe.local
• Password: password

For further instructions, see guides below.

Multi-currency support

If you'd like multi-currency support, there are a few extra steps to follow.

1. Sign up for an API key at Synth. It's a Maybe product and the free plan is sufficient for basic multi-currency support.
2. Add your API key to your .env file.
