I had similar needs, I didn't want to share my data with 3rd parties. Even if you trust them, things change over the years and you end up losing all the information you had entered on any app. I eventually learned about [plain text accounting](https://plaintextaccounting.org/) and now maintain my own ledger, fully backed up with history. I created [paisa](https://github.com/ananthakumaran/paisa) to better visualize/understand the numbers.
