Someone built an API whose only job is to say no.
You send it a request. It sends back a rejection. That's the entire product.
It's called No-as-a-Service. NaaS.
1,000 rejection reasons. All curated. All devastating.
Here's what it returns:
- "This feels like something Future Me would yell at Present Me for agreeing to."
- "I only function on coffee and denial, and I'm out of coffee."
- "If I agree, I’d need to clone myself. And I don’t trust him."
- "I have a personal policy of saying no on days ending in 'y'."
Need to reject a meeting? NaaS.
Need to decline a date? NaaS.
Need to say no to your boss without getting fired? Believe it or not, also NaaS.
Here's the wildest part:
Developers loved it so much they built an entire ecosystem around it.
- A Slack bot that responds with /no in team channels
- A Signal bot for automated rejections
- An iOS app on the App Store called "Nope App"
- An Android app that gives you excuses on demand
- A Raycast extension so you can reject things from your launcher
- An MCP plugin so your AI assistant says no for you
6,500 developers starred a joke. 408 people forked it to build their own ways to say no.
The license reads: "MIT -- do whatever, just don't say yes when you should say no."
The most honest software ever written. Its only job is to say no. And it does it beautifully.
100% Open Source.
