ShowUp for Parents

Your village is ready. Ask for meals, rides, childcare — real help from people who care. No algorithms, no ads. Just your people showing up.

You just had a baby. You're exhausted. Everyone says "let me know if you need anything" — but you never do. ShowUp changes that.

ShowUp is the app for new parents who need help and the people who love them. Build your village, ask for what you actually need, and let your people show up for you.

FOR NEW PARENTS:

• Ask for meals, rides, groceries, baby watch, pharmacy runs, chores, emotional support, and more
• Set your schedule — ASAP, today, tomorrow, or pick a date
• Your address stays private until someone claims your request
• Hold your boundaries — you control who joins your village and what they see
• Thank helpers with a personal message when they come through

FOR VILLAGERS:

• See exactly what the new parent needs — no more guessing
• Claim tasks that work for your schedule
• Get directions, dietary info, and household details
• Earn karma points and badges for showing up
• Connect with other villagers to coordinate support

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Create your village or join one with an invite code
2. New parents post asks — meals, rides, errands, anything
3. Villagers browse open requests and claim what they can do
4. Everyone gets push notifications to stay in sync
5. After helping, villagers mark complete and parents say thanks

ShowUp was built by parents, for parents. We believe asking for help is an act of strength, not weakness. And the people in your life? They're just waiting for permission to show up.

It takes a village. You're it.
