Feature description

I put it as a feature, but maybe it is a bug.
When using my stock clock app, if I set an alarm and turn off the phone (as I do every night), it 'magically' turn on by itself a few minutes before the scheduled alarm, so that it can work properly.
With Fossify Clock the phone remains turned off and the alarm is skipped.
It would be great if Fossify Clock were able to turn on the phone when needed.

Why do you want this feature?

Alarms are important for those who set them and should always work, irrespective on whether the phone is turned on or off (voluntarily or by accident).

Additional information

Maybe somewhat related with #17.

Are you actually turning the phone off or did you just turn off the screen?

Because the entire storage is encrypted and until it gets decrypted with your pin/password for first login it cannot be loaded. This is why you can't use fingerprint / face unlock when you are in before first boot state. This is an essential security feature of android and iphone's iOS.

Some manufacturers have a custom firmware that includes an auto turn on timer and possibly a hookup into their own alarm app.

I am actually turning the phone off. So, are you saying that only apps installed by the manufacturer can (possibly) turn the phone on?
