Hi Applewatchturnphoneoff,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. The Focus feature is most closely aligned with the needs you've mentioned. You can set up Focus to allow some apps and even create a set schedule. The following guidance can be found in Use Focus on Apple Watch - Apple Support.
"Turn a Focus on or off
- Touch and hold the bottom of the screen, then swipe up to open Control Center.
- Touch and hold the current Focus button, then tap a Focus.
- If no Focus is on, Control Center shows the Do Not Disturb button.
- Choose a Focus option—On, On for 1 hour, On until this evening/On until tomorrow morning, or On until I leave.
Create a Focus schedule
On Apple Watch you can schedule when each Focus occurs—you can even choose to have a Focus start at different times of the day. For example, you could schedule the Work Focus to start at 9 AM and end at noon, Monday through Friday. From noon to 1 PM you may have no Focus or have a Personal Focus take over. Then, start Work Focus again from 1 PM until 5 PM, Monday through Thursday.
- Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
- Tap Focus, tap a Focus—Work, for example—then tap “Add new.”
- Tap the From and To fields and enter the times you want the Focus to begin and end.
- Scroll up, then choose days when the Focus will be active.
- Tap < in the top-left corner to save the Focus.
- Repeat this process to add other events to the Focus."
If that's not quite what you're looking for, you can also send feedback to request future additions from Product Feedback - Apple.
Have a great day!
