A budgeting app built on Sinatra. Use it at sumapp.com.
Sum is actively maintained under Ruby 1.9.1.
Fill out a form containing your total monthly bills, income, and desired savings. When you use your credit card or the ATM, send an email to sum@sumapp.com with the dollar amount. Every midnight, you will receive an email with budgeting metrics for the day.
Take a look at the read email feature to see example budget email scenarios.

The application consists of a simple form that updates the user table and a non-public-facing action that doubles as a background job. The background action is designed to be curled by cron every minute. It handles email and time-sensitive user updates.
Sum uses Cucumber, Webrat, and email-spec for functional tests and rspec for unit tests:
