Your photos, your choice
Keep your pictures locked until you choose to reveal them to a particular match. You can revoke access at any time.
Less ghosting
SHOWUP is designed to encourage people to close conversations respectfully instead of disappearing.
Respect matters
Respect Rating makes good communication part of the dating experience rather than an afterthought.
Say what you want
Marriage, relationship, casual, 50+ or simply date and see — your direction is clear from the start.
Join without the faff.
The first experience should feel obvious: create your account, tell us what you want and build a genuine profile. Then SHOWUP can focus on compatible people.
Create your account
Sign up and enter the app without being buried in unnecessary screens.
Choose your direction
Tell SHOWUP what kind of dating you actually want right now.
Show up your way
Add a real photo and short bio, then choose whether to keep your pictures locked until you're ready to reveal them.
Built around compatible intentions
Less guessing what somebody wants. Your dating direction helps SHOWUP focus discovery around people looking for something compatible.
Trust without pretending
We clearly label what is and is not verified. Members can report fake, stolen or AI-generated profile photos, and optional manual selfie comparison is available.
