RunTone

RunTone is a VS Code extension that plays a sound when your code finishes executing.

Features

  • 🔊 Success sound when code executes successfully
  • ❌ Error sound when code execution fails
  • 🎵 Choose your own .wav success and error sounds
  • ⏱️ Sounds play for a maximum of 5 seconds
  • 🌍 Works with multiple programming languages
  • 🔘 Enable or disable RunTone from VS Code Settings
  • 🚫 Ignores unrelated terminal commands such as npm install, git pull, etc.

Custom Sounds

You can choose your own .wav files using the Command Palette:

  • RunTone: Choose Success Sound
  • RunTone: Choose Error Sound

If no custom sound is selected, RunTone uses the default sounds included with the extension.

Enable / Disable

RunTone can be enabled or disabled from:

Settings → Extensions → RunTone

Setting:

codeSound.enabled


## Requirements

RunTone uses VS Code Terminal Shell Integration to detect completed code execution.

Make sure this setting is enabled:

terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled
Supported Audio

Custom sounds currently support:

.wav
Playback Duration

Sounds automatically stop after a maximum of 5 seconds.

## How It Works

RunTone monitors completed terminal executions and checks whether the executed command corresponds to the currently active source file.

It then plays:

✅ Success sound → exit code 0
❌ Error sound → non-zero exit code
