VibeSync
Sync your room lights, screen glow, sounds, and mascot animations with your AI coding assistant.
What is VibeSync?
VibeSync is a VS Code extension that turns AI-assisted coding into an immersive experience. When your AI assistant thinks, writes code, or needs your attention — your room lights change color, sound effects play, your screen glows, and a cute mascot reacts.
Features
- Smart Light Sync — Physical lights (TP-Link Tapo) change color based on AI state
- Screen Glow — Colored border around your editor that follows the AI's activity
- Sound Effects — Fun sound packs (memes, anime, clean) with custom upload support
- Themes — 5 built-in color themes + create your own custom themes
- Mascot Animations — Animated Lottie character that reacts to AI states
- Time Tracker — Calendar heatmap, daily coding hours, commit counts, and notes
- GitHub Integration — Sign in to see commit counts alongside coding hours
Quick Start
- Install the extension (VSIX or marketplace)
- Open the VibeSync sidebar (flame icon in the activity bar)
- Click the gear icon to open Settings
- Configure your Tapo light (IP, email, password) and click Test Connection
- Enable Screen Glow, Sound Effects, and Mascot as you like
- Start coding with Claude Code — watch everything come alive!

Known Limitations
- Light sync only tested with TP-Link Tapo L900-5. Other Tapo models may work. Other brands are not yet supported.
- Sync accuracy is not 100% — the complete state may briefly show during thinking, and takes a few seconds to reflect after the AI finishes.
- AI tool support currently only works with Claude Code. Other tools are planned if there is demand.
