Three tones
| Tone | Traits |
|---|---|
| To your boss | Conclusion, time, plan. Polite and short |
| To a coworker | A request or heads-up. Friendly |
| Chat style | One or two lines, casual. Emoji if your team uses them |
One message, three ways
| Tone | Example |
|---|---|
| To your boss | Hi Sam, my train is delayed; I’ll arrive at 9:20 and join the 9:00 meeting on arrival. |
| To a coworker | Train’s running late, I’ll be about 20 minutes. Could you put the deck on screen when the meeting starts? |
| Chat style | Train delay, ~20 min late! |
Excuse Maker is an app made for fun. For real attendance messages, telling the truth is always the safest option. Adapt the example messages here to what actually happened.
Tips for all three
- Always give times as numbers
- Apologize once; repeated apologies lose weight
- To a manager, "I will" reads better than "I think I might"

FAQ
Does Rewrite work on excuses I added?
Yes. It wraps your "What you’d actually say" line, or the one-liner if that’s empty, in the chosen tone.
Other languages?
The app supports 10 languages; switch languages and the reasons switch too.
