Real outings, wherever you are
Meet someone. Go somewhere. Show up.
One new person, or a friend you invite. One spot, one time. No swiping. Just show up.
The honest problem
There's no easy, no-stakes way for grown adults to actually go somewhere with someone new.
You keep meaning to do something, with someone. It usually turns into weeks of back-and-forth that never becomes a plan. Show Up skips straight to the spot, the time, and actually knowing them.
How it works
Four steps. One real outing.
Get matched, or invite a friend
Matched by vibe and availability. Or invite up to two friends instead. All within 30 km.
Pick a spot together
Vote on a spot together. Can't agree? Tiebreak decides.
Agree on a time
Pick a day and hour. We check it against your other plans so nothing clashes.
Chat, voice-note, and show up
Chat, send a voice note, then verify each other with your code.
Built on showing up
No subscription. No deposit. Just people who turn up.
Nothing to pay to use Show Up. Commitment runs on reliability, not cash.
- Show up and you stay active. Keep your outings and matching stays open.
- Flake and you earn a strike. Cancelling a locked outing or no-showing counts against you.
- A few strikes pause you for a week, then everything resets. No grudges, just a breather.
One slip happens. You're still active and matching as normal. Keep showing up and your strike clears on reset.
New people, or friends
It doesn't have to be someone new.
Meet someone new
Matched one-to-one with someone nearby who shares your vibe.
Bring your friends
Invite friends straight from your contacts. Hold up to two plans at once.
