Been looking into plain text accounting recently, there are a couple command line based apps that support plain text based accounting... and this resources is excellent:
https://plaintextaccounting.org
That said I've never until now found way to be able to automatically import bank transactions UNTIL NOW.
The BeanHub tool sent me down a rabbit hole] [1] and while they've done excellent work, paying their full USD $15/month [for access to just get their bank data direct connect feature does not add up.
But looks like we can go to the source folks, BeanHub uses something called Plaid to get the bank data from 140+ banks worldwide.
And multiple folks have worked out a direct Plaid to Plain Text Accounting tools.
