How to turn off sound effects and animations in 1.4.4

Question

After updating to version 1.4.4, the first page in terminal mode now has an animation and sound effect; I don't see this feature mentioned in the latest release notes — how can I turn it off?

It seems to be added in #22098

You can disable the new OpenCode logo sound/animation trigger by turning off mouse support in the TUI.
At the moment, there is no dedicated sound or logo animation config flag, so this is the best permanent workaround.

Create or edit ~/.config/opencode/tui.json
Add:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/tui.json",
  "mouse": false
}

This prevents accidental logo clicks (which trigger the burst + sound effect).

Disabling mouse support also disables scrolling via mouse which is unfortunate.

This causes 100% CPU usage from "opencode" and "coreaudiod" when running opencode in the IntelliJ terminal, it even completely crashed my Mac (and my ears)

This "feature" causes only trouble and annoyance. I hope my PR to be to have the option to disable this goes through quickly

Can we please not merge extremely questionable effects/animations/sounds/etc. without options to disable only them?

This is absolutely ridiculous that someone thought adding this was a good idea, let alone doing it without a config flag.

Can we please not merge extremely questionable effects/animations/sounds/etc. without options to disable only them?

Can we please not activate extremely questionable effects/animations/sounds/etc. by default? This is a tool, not a toy, and a computer randomly sounding like a game console in an office space just doesn't make a good impression.

Some interesting details:

In a regular terminal window on macOS, the effect starts only when clicking with the mouse on the logo.
In an IntelliJ terminal window just moving the mouse over the logo is enough to trigger it. So now I have to make sure to always navigate the mouse around the logo.

Absolute dumbest shit, it's now also leaked into OpenCode-desktop so every time you start it, you get greeted with the sound quickly playing 10 times in a row. Why is there no way to disable this?

@kitlangton Fix your mess!

this temporary solution in the form of a tui plugin helped me to hide the logo completely

tested on windows 11 and xubuntu
In theory, it should work on any OS

Plugin

~/.config/opencode/plugins/no-logo-egg.tsx

/** @jsxImportSource @opentui/solid */
import type { TuiPlugin, TuiPluginModule } from "@opencode-ai/plugin/tui"

const tui: TuiPlugin = async (api) => {
  api.slots.register({
    order: 0,
    slots: {
      home_logo() {
        return <box />
      },
    },
  })
}

const plugin: TuiPluginModule & { id: string } = {
  id: "my.no-logo-egg",
  tui,
}

export default plugin

Config

~/.config/opencode/tui.json

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/tui.json",
  "plugin": ["./plugins/no-logo-egg"]
}

I have a minimal PR to make this configurable via tui.json and disable it by default: #25540

Once merged you can configure the sound or animation independently (sound ignored if animate is off).

~/.config/opencode/tui.json

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/tui.json",
  "logo": {
    "animate": false,
    "sound": false
  }
}

The logo sound effects have been removed in #27183. This should be out in the next release.

Sorry for the surprise and frustration this caused. That was very unintentional. The animation is still there for now, but it no longer plays sound. It also looks like some terminals/IDE terminals may have triggered the sound from hover or other mouse events, even though it was only meant to trigger on click.

I’m going to close this since the sound effects are gone. If you still feel strongly that the animation itself should be removed too, please open a separate issue for that. We’ll definitely consider that.

It would still be nice to be able to turn off the animation as well

This could not have happened with pi.dev (https://github.com/earendil-works/pi)
