Open-source Empower alternatives

Sure is a personal finance application that can be self-hosted with Docker. It is a community-maintained fork of Maybe Finance, a project whose team built a full-featured personal finance and wealth management app and then stopped development after the business did not work out. Sure keeps that codebase alive.

The app can be accessed from a browser, a macOS desktop app, a mobile app, API clients and LLM agents, and the README points to an overview of Sure Clients. It is a fully working finance app for tracking money, and the maintainers invite contributors to join through Discord, GitHub issues and the project website. The README is translated into several languages.

Sure is written in Ruby and released under the AGPL-3.0 license. Anyone may fork it under that license, but forks are asked to include the original license and state that they are based on Maybe Finance and not affiliated with it, to stay compliant and avoid trademark problems.

Ghostfolio is open-source wealth management software built with web technology. It helps people keep track of stocks, ETFs and cryptocurrencies held across several platforms and is designed for personal use in continuous operation. Its pitch is data ownership and privacy for people who would rather not manage investments in spreadsheets.

Features include creating, editing and deleting transactions, managing multiple accounts, portfolio performance based on Return on Average Investment over several time ranges, various charts, a static analysis that points out potential portfolio risks, and import and export of transactions. It also has dark and zen modes and works as a progressive web app with a mobile-first design.

The project is a TypeScript web application organized as an Nx workspace, using Angular, NestJS and Prisma. An official cloud offering called Ghostfolio Premium is the simplest way to start, with revenue covering hosting and data provider costs, and instructions exist for running it on your own infrastructure. It is licensed under AGPL-3.0, and the slug here is a truncated form of the name Ghostfolio.

Wealthfolio is an open-source portfolio tracker and personal finance app that keeps all data on your own device, with no cloud database and no account required. It covers investments, net worth, spending and simulations, and manual tracking and CSV import are free, according to the project.

Key capabilities include tracking portfolios across multiple accounts and asset types, performance analytics covering money-weighted and time-weighted returns, comparison against benchmarks and historical analysis, importing and managing trading activities, goal planning with allocation management, multi-currency support with exchange rates and an add-on system for custom functionality. It runs on desktop for Windows, macOS and Linux, on iOS, and as a self-hosted Docker web app.

For automatic read-only brokerage syncing across more than 30 institutions and encrypted multi-device sync there is Wealthfolio Connect, an optional subscription that the project says covers the real cost of the data connections. The app is written in Rust with Tauri and licensed under AGPL-3.0. It suits privacy-minded individual investors who prefer local data over a hosted aggregator.

Portfolio Performance is an open-source desktop application for tracking and evaluating investment portfolios made up of stocks, cryptocurrencies and other assets. It calculates the performance of an entire portfolio across multiple securities and cash accounts, using the true time-weighted rate of return and the internal rate of return.

The full history of transactions can be recorded, including purchases, sales, taxes and fees. Historical prices can be loaded from many sources such as HTML pages, JSON, Yahoo, Leeway, TwelveData, Alpha Vantage and CoinGecko, and historical exchange rates are fetched automatically from the European Central Bank. Rebalancing is supported against freely defined asset allocations.

Data is stored in an open file format available as XML and can be exported to CSV. Desktop versions are offered for Windows, macOS and Linux, along with a mobile app, and the project provides a forum, a manual, importers for PDF statements and trade calendars. It is written in Java on the Eclipse platform and licensed under the Eclipse Public License.

Financial Management, published under the name Family Ledger (the README is written in Chinese), is a self-hosted app for tracking a household's assets across banks, payment apps, brokerages, property and mortgages. Instead of logging every transaction, it asks for a monthly snapshot of account balances plus external cash flows, a routine meant to take about ten minutes for a couple filling it in at different times. The data stays on your own server.

From those snapshots it shows a net worth trend with inflation and money-supply reference lines, asset allocation, and real annualized returns calculated with XIRR and TWR so that savings and investment gains can be told apart. It can look through funds to their underlying holdings and industries, aggregated across the whole family. AI features can read screenshots to import individual holdings and produce a checkup covering allocation, risk, liquidity and returns; the README says the numbers are computed by the app and the language model only interprets them.

The app has nine account types grouped by family member, multi-dimensional tagging, preset dashboards, one-click export, and a responsive interface that can be installed as an iOS web app. It is licensed under Apache-2.0 and written in Java. It is deliberately not a daily expense tracker, budgeting tool or trading client, and a public demo with synthetic data is available.
