About this tool

Running Late Text writes the message before you are any later. Type how many minutes behind you are, pick honest or funny, and copy a short text with an apology and a real ETA — the two things people actually want to know.

The golden rule of being late: tell people early, give a specific time, and don't over-explain. Every message here does exactly that.

Who it's for

Traffic delays.

Friends

Dinner plans.
