Firefly III: A free and open source personal finance manager
There is some experimental work being done with SimpleFIN integration[1] for US banks but I can't comment on how well that works.
Personally, I add each transaction manually. It allows me to stay on top my budget.

Mint: what are you using to budget (auto tracking spending categories and net-worth) now that Mint is ending
But several months ago I went back to check out Actual budget which was a sort of YNAB-clone whose author decided to release as open source. If you are comfortable with a bit of command line work, you can install it easily enough running as a hosted service in the free tier of a provider. I'm running in fly.io (docs for that are here). It was a bit fiddly trying to get set up for the first time, but the docs are detailed, and since I got it working it's been flawless and easy.
