Question 1

What is ShowUp?

Accepted Answer

ShowUp is a relationship mindfulness tool. It helps you stay present for the people who matter. Not by reminding you to call — by showing you your patterns.

Question 2

Is this a reminder app?

Accepted Answer

No. Reminder apps tell you what to do. ShowUp shows you who you are. The real value is in what it reveals: your avoidance patterns, your feelings after connecting, and the relationships you're investing in.

Question 3

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Completely. ShowUp stores everything on your device. No accounts, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, no servers.

Question 4

What's the Akan philosophy behind ShowUp?

Accepted Answer

In Akan thought, personhood isn't given at birth — it's earned through relationships and community contribution. ShowUp is grounded in this idea: connection isn't something you do, it's who you are.
