I use Urzagatherer to track my collection, it's not the most convenient but there is no account needed, you can use a local file to keep track of everything

Yeah relying solely on an online DB would seem quite reckless.

Do you catalogue all your cards or just the more important ones?

I used to catalogue everything, it made it easier to know if I had random commons from 3 years ago. It's a bit of effort to enter the list at first, but you only have to keep it updated once it's up.

I failed to update my collection tracker for a couple months now, so I guess I will have to start from scratch to be sure everything is correct 🤡

After a while of poking around I'm starting to think that Macaco is the best option without vendor lock-in. It simply stores cards as images in the filesystem. The application provides a nice UI for managing the collection but nothing prevents you from just moving the files yourself.
