ShowUp is the social app for events. Create plans with your friends, chat to sort out the details, discover what’s on near you, and build a reputation for actually turning up, all in one place.
No cost. No ads. Just your people and your plans.
What is ShowUp
Padel on Monday, a birthday dinner, a study session, anything. Pick a time, drop a location, set it public or private, and invite your friends in seconds.
Browse official events from venues and companies on a map, see what’s on this weekend near you, and check which of your friends are already going.
Pick your interests and your For You page fills up with events you’ll actually care about, plus a friends feed of what your circle is joining.
Every plan has a place to talk. Message friends one-on-one or spin up a group chat to sort out the where, when and who’s bringing what.
Find friends by username, send and accept invites, and give each attendee a role, from members that can suggest their friends, to moderators that help manage events.
Show up and it counts: collect points, climb the leaderboard, unlock achievements, and build a rating your friends can trust.
More than a calendar
Anyone can say “maybe.” ShowUp rewards the friends who follow through, so the people who always turn up get the credit they deserve.
A 1 to 5 star score built from ratings other users give you. The higher it is, the more points you earn from each event you show up to.
Earn points for joining, hosting and showing up, then see how you stack up against everyone else.
Unlock badges for milestones, your first event, hosting streaks, and more to collect on your profile.
How it works
Sign up with your email, pick a username and choose your interests. It takes less than a minute.
Search people by username, then browse your For You feed or discover official events happening nearby.
Create an event or join one, chat with the group, then turn up, and watch your points and reputation grow.
Checking in
Check-in only works when you’re actually there. Your phone’s location confirms you’re close to where the event is happening.
The check-in window opens 5 minutes before the event starts. Open ShowUp and tap check in to mark that you turned up.
Once the event finishes, everyone who was checked in receives points, straight onto your profile and the leaderboard. The higher your star rating, the more points each event is worth.
Your attendance percentage is the share of events you joined that you actually checked in to, so friends can see at a glance how reliably you turn up.
Location is only checked at the moment you check in, to confirm you’re at the event.
Who it’s for
