Describe the Feature/Enhancement

An Android APK that is compatible with WearOS

Why would this be helpful?

While the Android app is very well polished, I have occasional use cases (going on a jog) where I'd prefer to leave my phone behind and just use my smart watch and bluetooth earbuds. Having Audio Bookshelf on my smart watch would be a nice way to bring my library with me, without the phone. While storage could be an issue for some people, I would sat that LTE devices which can stream instead of using local storage are. Strong counter argument.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Future implementation would be best achieved with WearOS compatibility, which a quick Google indicates would cover the majority of Android compatible smart watches.

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.9.76

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

No response

My mistake @advplyr. I searched for "WearOS" with no results before creating this. Didn't think to try with a space in between.
