I had no problem installing it.
I guess Siggy has all that is needed for my use case, and yet it doesn't solve it.
My original description was to schedule recurring bills to plan a budget, see how much you need, and when you need it. In Siggy you
can
schedule recurring bills. (You can pick a day of month, and then the months you want. But you must set up four different scheduled expenses if you have something happening every week.) And at least on a per month basis, it will sum up your expenses.
However, the usage Siggy seems to be built for is tracking expenses more than planning ahead. You can scroll back to February to see how much you used then, but you can't scroll into the future.
Since a budget is a plan for the future, this application isn't really a budget planner, more an expense tracker that compares your currently registered expenses with the pre-set budget.
However, all that would change if Siggys developer just removed the limitation that you can't see the future. I suspect it would really be a tiny change.
Maybe I should contact him about that.
Edit: I thought to, but he doesn't seem to have a tmo user. The lack of a single sign up between maemo sub domains means I can't contact him without creating a new user :g
