Excuses Excuses

Tired of being too nice to say no? Excuses Excuses does the dirty work for you, even directly from inside iMessage.

Mid-text with your mother-in-law? Tap the app icon inside Messages, pick a category, slide the fun level from "believable adult" to "full chaos goblin," and drop a perfectly-crafted excuse straight into the conversation. No app-switching. No stuttering through a half-baked lie. Tap, send, flake.

WHAT IT COVERS • Work: meetings, RTO mandates, overtime • Family: gatherings, in-laws, holidays • Social: parties, barbecues, group hangs • Dating: bad matches, worse timing • Weddings and baby showers • School events, PTAs, field trips • Gym sessions and accountability partners • Travel plans and "when are you visiting?" • Volunteering, public speaking, and other "-ings"

HOW IT WORKS Pick a category, slide the fun level, and tap. Then copy and paste or drop a rich-preview Excuse Bubble straight into any iMessage thread.

FREE TO START Five categories included: Family, Work, Social, Dating, & Obligations. Each are packed with excuses across five fun levels.
