Why log it
- The same reason in a short period invites doubt, even when true.
- Leave balances and attendance disputes need dates.
- Your own patterns (late every Monday?) become visible.

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.
Reconcile with work records
Once a quarter, compare your log with the company’s attendance system. You’ll catch missing entries or wrongly booked leave early.

Outcome and notes
Tap an entry to mark It worked or It flopped and add a note; switch to the calendar to browse by date. "How about these again?" on the Stats tab surfaces reasons you haven’t used in a while.
