Could you build this?
Partial A scheduling UI is easy, but a real full power-off needs OS-level privileges that a normal app doesn't have on iOS or stock Android.
What it would actually take: The scheduler and UI are simple, but the actual power-off needs platform privileges: on Android, device-owner or system-app access, or an OEM API, and on iOS it is not possible for third-party apps, so a workaround such as Shortcuts automation would be needed. The hard parts are the platform-permission model and app-store approval. This needs mobile platform engineers with OS internals knowledge and possibly OEM partnerships.
