 # Semafy
 
-**Semafy** provides synchronization and concurrency management across execution agents such as web workers and the main thread. It contains a robust set of tools modeled after C++ synchronization primitives, offering control and flexibility for managing shared resources and states.

 ## Features
 
 - **Mutexes**: Exclusive and shared locking to protect data from concurrent access.
-- **ConditionVariable**: Allows agents (main thread, web workers) to wait for certain conditions to occur.
 - **Semaphores**: Control access to a finite number of resources.
-- **Error Handling**: Specific classes for various lock-related issues, enhancing debuggability and reliability.
-- **Platform Agnostic**: Works in both [browser](#browser-usage) and server-side applications, and generally any environment that supports `SharedArrayBuffer`.
+- **ConditionVariable**: Allows agents to wait for certain conditions to occur.
+- **Barriers**: Ensures agents reach a certain point before any can proceed.
+- **Async Management**:  Easily handle async operations with utilities like `tryLock`, `lockGuard`, and `callOnce`.

 ## Browser Usage
 
-For security reasons, browsers have certain requirements for using shared memory. Please see [SharedArrayBuffer > Security Requirements](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/SharedArrayBuffer#security_requirements) for details.
