## Description

The **Circle of Fifths** Chrome extension is a compact and efficient tool designed for musicians and music enthusiasts to understand the relationships among the 12 tones of the chromatic scale. It visually represents the circle of fifths (or fourths), showing how key signatures for major and minor keys are connected.

This extension displays the circle starting at C major — featuring no sharps or flats — and progresses clockwise adding sharps, counter-clockwise adding flats. Its simplicity and lightweight nature make it an essential companion for quick reference, music composition, and theory study without any unnecessary complexity.
