Excuse Tracker, by Digital Refugees
Copout shakes up believable excuses for when you're running late or need to cancel. Pick a situation and a context, shake your phone, and get an excuse you can use. This page covers common questions and how to get help.
Questions, bugs, or feedback? Email eclairage@earthlink.net and we'll get back to you. Including your device model and iOS version helps us help you faster.
How do I get an excuse?
Pick "Running late" or "Cancelling," choose a context (Work, Friend, or Family), and shake your phone — or tap the button. Tap "Use this one" to save it. Shake again anytime for a different one.
Why do I keep getting different excuses?
Once you tap "Use this one," Copout won't propose that excuse again, so you never send the same one twice. Shaking always gives you something new.
What does "cleared this deck" / "all used up" mean?
You've used every excuse available for that context and situation. You can switch to a different context or kind, or watch a short ad to unlock a fresh batch.
How do I see my history?
Tap the History button on the home screen to see everything you've generated, with filters for used/unused, context, and kind. You can add an optional note to any excuse you've used.
Why does the app show ads?
Copout is free and supported by ads. We show non-personalized ads only and don't track you across other apps. In the EEA and UK, you'll see a consent choice you can change anytime in Settings ("Manage ad privacy choices").
How do I delete my data?
Your excuses and notes are stored only on your device. Delete individual items in History, or remove the app to erase everything.
See our Privacy Policy for details on what the app and its ad partners handle.
