Frequently asked questions
Is the excuse generator free?
Yes. There's no sign-up and no limit — generate as many excuses as you like.
Are these excuses written by AI?
No. Every excuse is put together from hand-written openers, situations and sign-offs, so they always read naturally. There are millions of possible combinations.
What does the believability slider do?
Believable gives everyday reasons like a cancelled train or a burst pipe. Questionable gets embarrassing. Absurd brings in raccoons in tiny hats, time travellers and extremely confident geese.
Can I share an excuse?
Yes. Tap Share to get a link to that exact excuse with its own preview image — made for WhatsApp, Instagram and X.
Should I actually use these excuses?
They're made for fun. Use the believable ones at your own risk.
