I'm looking for a replacement simple accounting software. I'm still using Quicken 96, which will stop working at the end of next year. I'm tired of subscription software that sucks. Give me simple and reliable, without the enshittification.

I've looked at a number of open source projects, but they are more complicated than what I'm looking for. Just let me manually enter my data or import a CSV into a ledger. All my data should stay local.

Suggestions?

I'm building an app to do this, will let you know when it's in beta. :) Meanwhile, some of the similar apps that store data locally I've come across are: - https://copilot.money/ (nice UI; partly local—think it might use CloudKit for syncing) - https://ufincs.com/ - https://actualbudget.org/

I feel like http://monarchmoney.com is still the best UI I've come across, but I can't believe how common it is for all these providers to store your transactions in their cloud... seems like a fundamental security flaw to me, no matter how much they claim to lock down access to customer support agents/etc.

I am working on an administrative app for small businesses and it has some accounting functionality, take a look at it and let me know how I can improve it to suit your needs

What does it mean for the CSV to be imported into a ledger? Do you simply want a CSV viewer?
