I really like the functionality of the Galarm android app but I can’t help but feel like it’s something I should be able to self host instead or pay a monthly subscription for.
To elaborate, Galarm is an alarm app with the key feature of being able to send alarms to other people you “connect” with. For me, this means my wife can send me an alarm to do something at a certain time instead of sending me a message about what I need to do and when and then I have to go and set up the alarm myself. Also, I want to emphasize alarm here. Something that just sends notifications is basically worthless to me.
Anyone know of something I could host to get the same functionality?
You must log in or # to comment.
How about a shared calendar you both subscribe to?
I’ve never been able to get a calendar to reliably trigger alarms :(
Damn, that was my only idea
Have you tried a different calendar app? I’m using Etar and it never missed an appointment. I pair it with Calendar Notification to be able to postpone alarms, it hasn’t been updated in a while, but…it works!
I’m not sure self-hosted is what you need, perhaps just a FOSS app for your two phones?
Alternatively Home Assistant should be able to push alarms to your phones.
Home Assistant is an interesting idea. I only learned about it recently but I know it’s hella dense and I feel like figuring out how to get it to do this one thing might be a huge task. I’ll keep it in mind though if nothing else pops up.
