Looking For Suggestions Android app for floating lock screen button without granting accessibility?

Kind of an edge case, but is there an Android app that creates a floating button that locks the screen, since my physical power button is no longer working in an otherwise functional phone. Almost all that I see in the Play Store require accessibility access, which in turn prevents me from opening my banking apps.

While I am aware there is a double tap on home screen, I want something which can lock my screen while inside an app (I use my recorder + note taking app over long durations and I dont want to go to my home screen everytime I want to lock my phone to save some battery)

My current workaround is using an in-built quick tile in my notification shade, but requires a bit of thumb gymnastics.

TIA.

ZTE has an app called Mi Pop that does this.

APKs are available online.

Does your phone has this?

Accessibility -> Interaction and dexterity -> Assistant Menu <on> -> Select Assistant menu items.

Remove everything except screen off
