Theory, tempo, and tuning

Music tools

Chords, keys, degrees, metronome, BPM, and tuners for music practice.

When you need to quickly understand the key of a progression, label chord degrees, or check which triads belong to a scale, a full notation editor is often too much.

Music tools run locally in the browser and help with harmony, tempo, and instrument tuning without dedicated music software.

This category includes chord analysis, key chord building, metronome practice, BPM tapping, instrument tuners, and approximate key detection from audio.
