Faah - Error Alerts

Your Error Drama Alarm for VS Code

Never miss errors in your editor. Faah plays instant alerts for terminal failures and editor diagnostics, with one-click status bar controls.

For more: Faah Official Docs


Overview

Faah is a lightweight VS Code extension that listens for errors and plays a meme sound when they appear.

Default sound is faah, and you can optionally upload/select a custom sound file.

No more silent failures. No more unnoticed broken builds. No more cursed error output.

If your errors get dramatic — Faah gets louder.


Features

  • Plays faah by default, with optional uploaded custom sound override
  • Lightweight and fast, with regex-based error detection and configurable patterns/excludes
  • Separate cooldown controls for terminal and diagnostics sources
  • Terminal and editor diagnostics source toggles with diagnostics severity mode
  • Snooze controls (15m, 30m, 1h, 2h) and clear snooze action
  • Quiet hours presets plus custom HH:mm ranges
  • Visual alerts (warning popups) plus audio for every alert
  • Quick presets (Balanced, Quiet, Aggressive) to snap into a mood
  • Settings import/export (JSON) for backups or sharing
  • Compatibility status command and notice when terminal monitoring is unavailable
  • Workspace-aware settings (faah.*) with auto-save Control Room UI
  • Status bar indicator with source-aware quick actions

Configuration

Use Faah from the status bar quick actions or Command Palette.

  1. In VS Code, click Faah Off, Faah T, Faah E, or Faah T+E in the bottom bar.
  2. Choose what you want: turn Faah on/off, select terminal/editor/both, switch error mode, snooze alerts, set quiet hours, play test sound, or open full settings.
  3. Settings auto-save instantly in the Control Room; use the schedule presets, compatibility button, or import/export buttons for explicit actions.

Command Palette commands:

  • Faah: Show Quick Actions
  • Faah: Open Settings
  • Faah: Play Test Sound
  • Faah: Snooze Alerts
  • Faah: Clear Snooze
  • Faah: Set Quiet Hours
  • Faah: Show Compatibility Status (raises host compatibility info)

Use Case

Faah is perfect when you:

  • Run long tasks
  • Work with noisy logs
  • Switch tabs while working
  • Miss subtle error messages
  • Want dramatic feedback while coding 😄

Philosophy

Coding is already dramatic.

Faah just makes sure you hear it.
