Suggestion: Allow users to impose limits on apps for less than 7 days. This would act as a reminder for users to refresh apps before the actual 7 day limit

Description
I keep forgetting to refresh apps and I'm sure other users do too. It would be an issue for apps to be disabled while away from a computer, so it would be better to do so while still near one. Here's how it could work:
- In the AltStore settings, have an option to limit apps to a certain number of days (or hour) and users can pick from a dropdown menu or whatnot
- When the time comes, a message can be displayed on apps upon opening, saying "The app has been disabled by AltStore. Refresh the apps or turn it off in settings"

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating AltStore’s settings UI and the code that enforces the seven-day app limit, then determine how shorter configurable limits and the opening message should behave. Done means the setting and refresh-or-disable behavior work on iOS, with coverage for the chosen limits.
