ShowUp: For Your People – Tracking Relationship Intentions and Feelings

Summary: ShowUp is a private, on-device app that helps users track their efforts to maintain important relationships by recording who they reach out to, reasons for avoidance, and emotional responses to connections. It focuses on bridging the gap between intending to connect and actually doing so, without reminders or social features.

What it does

Users add up to 50 people to monitor their interactions. When a reminder triggers and no action is taken, the app prompts for reasons why; when contact occurs, it asks how the user feels. All data is stored locally with no cloud or analytics involved.

Who it's for

Individuals seeking a private tool to reflect on and maintain meaningful personal relationships without relying on traditional reminder apps or social networks.

Why it matters

It addresses the common issue of avoiding contact despite intending to reach out, providing insight into relationship dynamics beyond simple forgetfulness.
