Plan it. Share it. Show up.

Turn “we should hang out” into real plans

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.

Everything you do with friends, in one place

🎉

Create your own events

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.

📍

Discover what’s nearby

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.

A feed made for you

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.

💬

Chat & group messages

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.

👥

Bring your people

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.

🏆

Earn your reputation

Show up and it counts: collect points, climb the leaderboard, unlock achievements, and build a rating your friends can trust.

More than a calendar

Showing up actually counts

Anyone can say “maybe.” ShowUp rewards the friends who follow through, so the people who always turn up get the credit they deserve.

Rating

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.

🥇

Points & leaderboard

Earn points for joining, hosting and showing up, then see how you stack up against everyone else.

🎖️

Achievements

Unlock badges for milestones, your first event, hosting streaks, and more to collect on your profile.

From idea to plan in three steps

1

Create your account

Sign up with your email, pick a username and choose your interests. It takes less than a minute.

2

Add friends & find events

Search people by username, then browse your For You feed or discover official events happening nearby.

3

Make plans & show up

Create an event or join one, chat with the group, then turn up, and watch your points and reputation grow.

Showing up is verified, not just promised

📍

Be at the event

Check-in only works when you’re actually there. Your phone’s location confirms you’re close to where the event is happening.

⏱️

Open the app in time

The check-in window opens 5 minutes before the event starts. Open ShowUp and tap check in to mark that you turned up.

🏆

Earn your points

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.

📈

Build your attendance

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.
