## What it is
MultiTimer is a lightweight C software timer extension module for embedded systems that manages multiple timer tasks with callbacks, replacing manual flag-checking. It requires only a platform tick function and a periodic yield call in the main loop.

## Use cases
- manage multiple non-blocking timers in embedded firmware
- replace flag-checking delay logic in a bare-metal main loop
- schedule periodic and one-shot callbacks in C
- implement timing sequences on MCU without RTOS
- run software timers on Linux for testing

## When to choose
- you need lightweight software timers on a microcontroller with minimal footprint
- you want callback-based timing instead of polling flags
- your project is plain C without an RTOS timer service

## When to avoid
- you need hard real-time precision below your tick resolution
- callbacks must run in their own threads or perform long operations
- you already use an RTOS with built-in timer facilities

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: scheduling, concurrency, embedded
- domain: embedded-systems, developer-tools
- platform: embedded, c, cross-platform
- tags: software-timers, timer-module, non-blocking, callback-based, bare-metal, automation, linux
