## Description

Circle of Fifths is a Chrome extension that visualizes the circle of fifths to help you understand the 12 keys of the chromatic scale. It uses color coding to show relationships between major, minor, and diminished keys, and it displays the key signature and triad for each key. The extension also provides a sounded chord or arpeggio for every key, with a mute/unmute toggle for quick practice and experimentation.

Other features include locking the circle to the currently selected key, a tappable legend indicating the degree of each key in the active group, and several color schemes. The UI follows modern Material Design guidelines for a clean, responsive experience. Whether you’re learning theory, composing, or performing, this tool makes it easier to visualize modulation and chord progressions. I hope you enjoy using this circle of fifths app as much as I enjoyed making it! Have fun! - Josh
