FAQ

What is this for?

Mostly for fun — a writing prompt, a game, or just a laugh. It's not meant to be relied on for anything actually important.

What categories are available?

Work/meeting, school/homework, social plans, and tech excuses — pick one or leave it on "Any" for a random mix.

Can I get a different one if I don't like the first?

Yes — click "Generate excuse" as many times as you want for a new random one.

Is anything sent to a server when I generate an excuse?

No — everything is picked locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or logged.
