Describe the Feature/Enhancement
add a motion tracker to the sleep timer such that shaking the phone will reset the sleep timer to the previously set time.
for instance, set the sleep timer to 10 minutes, and when the audio starts to fade near the end of the countdown, shake/touch phone to reset the timer to 10 minutes
Why would this be helpful?
instead of accessing the phone's UI or pressing any buttons, just shake/touch it to keep the audio playing
Future Implementation (Screenshot)
next to or within the set sleep timer popup
Audiobookshelf App Version
Android App - 0.10.0
Current Implementation (Screenshot)
set sleep timer or main screen

Shaking to reset the sleep timer is already implemented. Pressing play (after pausing) will also restart the sleep timer to the previously set time.
