I don't use an app to do that but I understand your question, I think.

My first thought to help you would be tasker/automate but they take work.
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate>
 <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm>

Even I don't feel like figuring out how to automate that stuff, so that's
only my first guess at an answer. 

My second guess will be based on a search... which I'll run for you now.

Note: I probably am the best on this newsgroup for searches for free apps
with no ads, but I haven't tested these apps so you need to test the
no-root one below.

I just found them for you but it seems the best apps require root.

  (Some engines say it's in the Google Play Store, but others don't.)

What do you think about this no-root shutdown-timer app?

Note: I have not tested these apps (and my phone isn't rooted).
