Maybe

Maybe is an open-source, self-hosted personal finance tracker that consolidates accounts, investments, and assets into a single net worth dashboard. The software is deployed as a web application and is designed to be hosted on a private server using Docker, allowing users to maintain full control over their financial data.

The application focuses on providing a centralized view of financial health by aggregating various data points into one interface. It includes tools for tracking specific financial goals and generating projections based on current assets and spending patterns. By hosting the application locally, users avoid the privacy concerns associated with proprietary cloud-based budgeting services and can manage their records on their own hardware.

Key features

• Net worth dashboard for consolidated asset tracking
• Investment tracking across multiple accounts
• Goal tracking for specific financial targets
• Financial projections based on user data
• Self-hosting capability via Docker
• PostgreSQL database integration
• Demo data loading for initial setup

Built with the Ruby on Rails framework, the application utilizes Hotwire, StimulusJS, and Turbo to manage the user interface and reactivity. It requires a PostgreSQL database version 9.3 or higher to operate. The architecture is designed for developers who prefer a Ruby-based stack and users who want a dedicated server environment for their financial records. The software provides a structured way to input and visualize assets, ensuring that all calculations and projections are handled within the user's own infrastructure.

Because the repository is distributed under the AGPLv3 license, it allows for forking and modification by the community. This ensures that the codebase remains available for those who wish to maintain their own version of the tool independently of the original creators.

Maybe is a privacy-focused tool for individuals who want a comprehensive overview of their personal finances through a self-managed installation.
