The honest problem

There's no easy, no-stakes way for grown adults to actually go somewhere with someone new.

Dating apps want romance. Networking wants your job. Group chats fizzle out. So you stay in, again. Show Up is the low-friction nudge that gets you out the door and into a real place with a real person.

How it works

Four steps. One real outing.

01

Get matched

One person nearby who shares your vibe, interests and free time, within about 30 km of you.

02

Pick a spot together

Either of you suggests a place. You both vote, and the winner is where you meet.

03

Agree on a time

Settle on a day and hour that works for both of you, and lock it in.

04

Show up

Find your stranger with your two-word code, or wave if it's a friend. That's it.

Built on showing up

No money. No deposit. Just people who turn up.

There's no stake, no wallet, nothing to pay. Commitment here 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.

Strangers, or friends

It doesn't have to be a stranger.

New people

Meet someone new

Get matched one-to-one with a person nearby who shares your vibe. The classic Show Up outing.

Your people

Bring your friends

Invite friends straight from your contacts and plan an outing together, including group outings for more than two.

Recognise your match in a crowd with a private code, no swapping numbers or photos.

Block & report, built in

One tap to block or report anyone. We take it seriously and act fast.

One match at a time

You're never juggling strangers. Reliability strikes keep ghosts and no-shows out of the pool.

Get out of the house

Your next outing is one show-up away.
