## What is Good Excuse?

Some messages are hard to write. Good Excuse writes them for you.

Pick who you are telling, what you are getting out of, and the tone you want. You get a short, natural message you can send exactly as it is.

THREE TONES

Polite: warm and graceful, for the people you actually mind letting down.

Cheeky: funny, but still sendable. For friends who will forgive you.

Exit: calm, firm and final. For conversations that need to stop rather than soften. No apology, no excuse, and no opening for a reply.

IT KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR BOSS AND YOUR BEST MATE

Wording written for friends never reaches a colleague. Every line is tagged for the people it suits, and that filter is never relaxed to fill a gap.

Choose from seven audiences: friend, colleague, boss, family, a date, someone persistent, or anyone else — and seven situations, from plans tonight to an ongoing conversation you want to end.

Add a note for context if it helps. Tell it this is your third cancellation in a row and the wording firms up on its own. The note shapes the tone and never appears in the message itself.

EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE

No account. No sign-up. No analytics. No network calls of any kind.

Your messages are composed on your device and never leave it. The only time Good Excuse contacts anything at all is Apple's own payment system, and only if you choose to buy Pro.

WHAT YOU GET

• Over 12,000 possible messages across the two composed tones
• Sixteen firm, final exits, used word for word
• Tailored to seven audiences and seven situations
• Copy or share in a single tap
• A history of everything you have written
• Never repeats a message you have just used
• Works on iPhone and iPad
