Pocket No - Witty Ways to Say No

Overview

Pocket No is a single-purpose mobile app that helps you say "no" with style. Tap a button, get a witty refusal, and copy it to your clipboard — all in under a second. It targets iOS (primary), Android, and web, with deep native integration on iOS including Home Screen Quick Actions and Siri Shortcuts via App Intents.

How It Works

1. Open the app or trigger a Quick Action / Siri Shortcut.
2. A random "no" reason is fetched from the server-side catalog (with a local fallback of 50 lines).
3. The reason appears on screen with an animated dot-grid background driven by a custom SKSL shader.
4. Tap Copy to send it to your clipboard with a satisfying haptic tap.
5. Tap New to fetch another reason — the background floods with a matrix-wipe transition.
