[Enhancement] Allow auto refresh of timer when screen is touched and add a toggle in settings #85

Enhancement Proposal

Description

Allow auto-refresh of the timer each time the screen is touched + add a toggle in settings to enable/disable so it can be to anyone's liking.
Currently the timer just runs out and when it's over you have to set it again.

Motivation

Sometimes the timer ends a bit too soon. Instead of choosing a longer timer or re-enabling it, why not offer an option in settings that allows for an automatic refresh of the timer every time the screen is touched?

Proposed Solution

An automatic refresh of the timer until we're done (ie. when we're not touching screen anymore). A toggle in settings to enable it, so it doesn't change anyone's workflow if they don't want that. That way you can set a short timer but if you need more time you just use the screen and it gives you more time.

Alternatives Considered

  • Using a longer timer (might be too long)
  • Re-enable the timer (1 swipe to notifications + 1 tap, if you set the button in the 1st row else more)

Additional Context

Example of use:
Set timer to 2min, use the screen for 1min59, screen won't lock until 2 more minutes because it has been refreshed at 1min59.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Allow auto-refresh upon touching screen
  • Add a toggle in settings
  • It works on Android 15+

Dependencies

No idea, I'm not an Android dev, sorry for this
