Beepify 🎵
Your editor drops a beat every time your tests run.
Beepify is a VS Code extension that dynamically switches your editor theme and plays a sound based on your test results — errors, warnings and clean passes each have their own distinct beat.
How It Works
Run any test command in the integrated terminal. Beepify listens for the result and reacts instantly:
| Result |
Theme |
Sound |
| 😡 Error |
Deep red — tests failed |
Error sound |
| ⚠️ Warning |
Amber/orange — warnings detected |
Warning sound |
| 😌 Clean |
Calm green — all tests passed |
Clean sound |
The IDE's default theme is shown on startup. Theme and sound only activate when a test runs.
Supported Test Runners
Works with any test runner across 12+ languages — Jest, pytest, cargo test, go test, dotnet test, RSpec, PHPUnit, mix test and more. No configuration needed.
Usage
The extension activates automatically. Look for the 🎵 indicator in the status bar.
