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?

This is the docs you need https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/critical-notifications/

I might have to have a look into that, could be a great way to get the wife to do things

Hey, this is definitely getting really close. However, I think for this to work our phones would need to be connected to my Wireguard all the time, right?

If you don't expose to the internet at large, yes you would need a VPN.
