GnuCash I used to use HomeBank (), now just a LibreOffice spreadsheet.

I also find that it is useful to track the database file. The only quirk is that one of my accounts uses a non-standard ordering for its csv file which needs fixing before HomeBank will accept it since the import UI is limited. Money Manager Ex is a financial manager that will allow you to organize and control your expenses: amounts, concepts, addressees, yields, investments and much.
