Snog's Timer Manager

Snog's Timer Manager is a lightweight, flexible, and user-friendly timer system for Unity. Designed to be intuitive and efficient, it allows you to create, manage, and visualize timers with minimal setup — whether you’re working in the editor or building for runtime.

This system is perfect for handling timed events, cooldowns, puzzle logic, animation triggers, or anything that needs reliable time control.

Features

• Action-Based Callbacks
  The manager now uses System.Action instead of UnityEvent, offering faster performance and cleaner code. You can still use UnityEvents in scenes through a helper component if needed.

• Full Runtime Control
  Pause, resume, stop, or remove timers individually or in bulk.

• Editor Integration
  The custom inspector displays active timers, smooth progress bars, and control buttons during play mode.

• Lightweight and Clean API
  Built for clarity and performance.
