Tasker has a fairly long learning curve. I used it for a little over a year before I was comfortable with it.

The way to learn it is to start out with something simple … get it to work … tweak it … get the tweaked version to work.

You need to learn how the rest of the world discusses the subject … that takes time.

The Profile Time trigger is one of the most complicated.

The solution to your question is to use two profiles to control each App.

An example follows …
Astart runs for one minute at 7:30a and launches the app Calculator.
Astop runs for one minute at 7:31a and Kills the app Calculator.

This appears to do what you need based on my testing. I cannot guarantee that it does.

Profile: Astart
Time: 7:30AM
Enter: Anon
A1: Launch App [ App:Calculator Data: Exclude From Recent Apps:Off Always Start New Copy:On Continue Task After Error:On ]
A2: Stop [ With Error:Off Task: ]

Profile: Astop
Time: 7:31AM
Enter: Anon
A1: Go Home [ Page:0 ]
A2: Kill App [ App:Calculator Use Root:Off ]
A3: Stop [ With Error:Off Task: ]

Since Calculator uses the full screen the recommendation from Tasker was to issue a Go Home before the Kill App.

This attachemtn does not show anything other than four profiles and one task name in an alphabet that I do not use.

I posted two Profile/Tasks that control the start and stop of a sample app … in this case Calculator.

What is it that is not clear?

If Tasker is to challenging you may find that you like MacroDroid better.
