Tracking spending with Monzo v budget apps

Hi
I can’t see this specific question anywhere so apologies if it’s already been answered.
I’m looking at accounts which can help me track spending. So was thinking I’d add all my bank, credit cards etc to something like Emma. But I don’t really want/need a budget app (or anything where I have to log in through a third party). I just need to track spending. I know how much I have each month. Can someone tell me if Monzo does this? Hard to tell from the website.
I can’t see that any of the budgeting apps are worth the faff… I may as well keep a pencil and paper note.
I have a Santander account which is pretty good and quick to access on iOS. It also pays interest on current account and cashback with credit card on food and petrol. It gives me an overview of my balances, but I’m looking for more than that.
I’ve read through the topic relating to monzo v Santander but it doesn’t answer my question.
