In simple English

Sure is a place to track all your money on your own computer or server. You can see your bank accounts, investments, and spending in one dashboard. It is a community-run version of an older app that stopped working. You run it yourself for free, so you do not pay a monthly fee. You need some technical skill to set it up and keep it running.

What it is

Sure is an open-source wealth management dashboard built with Ruby (a programming language for web applications) and PostgreSQL (a system for storing data in tables). It is a community-maintained continuation of the abandoned Maybe Finance project.

What it is good for

Solo builders who want to track their personal finances on a private server without sending their bank data to a third-party company.
