Description of the new feature / enhancement

A simple utility for scheduling a setting for a set time or duration. The utility would have a few options for different settings then the option to change them based on a timer or based on a specific schedule.

Scenario when this would be used?

  • Set the theme to dark mode every day at 7pm and light mode at 7am
  • Turn off wi-fi for the rest of the day
  • Set laptop speaker volume to zero every morning

Supporting information

  • Similar to Task Scheduler but more friendly
  • More focused and easy to jump in and out than Power Automate
  • Could evolve to include more settings
  • Triggers could make more complex scenarios like when connecting to specific Wi-Fi networks, or locations like have a
    • "work mode" trigger which sets a few settings when arriving to work, or home
  • This could be an Awake v2

Make it a separate app that doesn't need PowerToys open to work just like "File Locksmith" and Power Rename
