I'd suggest building this as it seems to be a simple ledger program.  If
you can use something like Oo Base you could save a lot of time/resources.
Otherwise, something like Python or Java would be useful for this and would
not be complicated to build. I seem to remember seeing something like this
for Linux years back, but not recently. You may try googling for "ledger
application" or single entry accounting ledger and see if that gets you
somewhat closer to what you're after. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
