Maybe: The OS for your personal finances

If you're looking for the previous React codebase, you can find it at maybe-finance/maybe-archive.

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.

Multi-currency support

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

Setup Guides

Dev Container (optional)

This is 100% optional and meant for devs who don't want to worry about installing requirements manually for their platform. You can follow this guide to learn more about Dev Containers.

If you run into could not connect to server errors, you may need to change your .env's DB_HOST environment variable value to db to point to the Postgres container.

Testing Emails

In development, we use letter_opener to automatically open emails in your browser. When an email sends locally, a new browser tab will open with a preview.
