Manually adding/importing has always been a hassle for me to get into these apps. For the hassle one has to go through to get the data in, I would just settle for an excel sheet. Let me how you folks are integrating various banks/cards/stock brokers with investment apps?

> My #2 requirement (a close second) is that the application must be running on my local PC. I will never accept a cloud-based web-app

You're lucky you don't live in the EU since well then you are straight out of luck since the bank APIs are only available to commercial entities thus the software generally is in the cloud and costs money.

""" Prerequisites Ensure you have the following installed on your machine: Node.js pnpm Rust Tauri """ Sorry but all these languages and tooling just for a simple desktop application is a pass.

You do realize these prerequisites are steps to _build_ the application and that you can download the binary directly, right?

Right?
