You started this to teach. Not to chase fees.
ShowUp records who attended, counts every class toward the fee, and asks for it when it falls due. No invoices, no month-end maths, no arguments. You teach. It works the second shift.
Set up from the spreadsheet you already keep · 60-day money-back promise.
The real register, on a demo centre — nothing staged. Srijan, Singapore runs on this every day ↗
The second shift starts when the last student leaves.
Teaching ends at eight. Then comes the other job: who showed up, who owes, and how to word a reminder that doesn't sound like chasing.
- “Chasing a parent for money makes me feel small — I’m their child’s coach, not a debt collector.”
- “Attendance lives in my head, a notebook, and two WhatsApp groups. Something always slips.”
This is the app, running.
An assistant that already knows your centre.
Not a chatbot with generic answers. It knows your register, your ledger and your families — ask the way you would ask your best admin, and it replies with names, amounts and next steps from your own records. Never a guess: every figure is checked against your books before it reaches your screen.
- “Who owes me right now?”
- “Who's drifting away?”
- “What did we collect this week?”
- “Remind the overdue families.”
It proposes. Confirm waits for you.

Proof you can count
Every square is a real class.
Three real centres run on ShowUp today: a home-learning centre in Singapore, a yoga practice in Kolkata, and a yoga studio in Singapore. 2,093 classes of attendance recorded in 14 weeks, none of it a spreadsheet chore.

One real teaching day — Wednesday, 22 July at Srijan: 31 classes of attendance recorded across 5 registers, 8 messages sent automatically. See a whole day inside the app →
The fee asks for itself
When the last class lands, the message sends itself.
Cycle complete, next one open, advance due — sent warmly on WhatsApp and email, in your voice. If a family forgets, ShowUp nudges every two days, five times at most, then quietly flags it to you. You never chase.

- Working out who owes what
- Chasing make-up classes
- Month-end spreadsheet maths
- Wondering who you’ve missed
The fair rule
A missed class never uses up a paid class.
A fee cycle is a prepaid block of classes. Present fills a bead. A miss just waits — and earns a make-up. A deliberate no-show counts, so fairness runs both ways. When the last bead fills, the cycle closes and the next one opens itself.
Emma showed up. The 7th bead fills.
One more class and the cycle completes on its own.
Marcus was away. Still 5 of 8.
The class he paid for waits for him — and a make-up recovers it.

Attendance in a tap
You mark who showed up. Every present class fills one bead. The meter ticks up, class by class.

The cycle completes
When the last class is attended, the beads turn to gold. The chapter is done. Only now does a fee fall due.
Chapter complete -
The family is told, in plain words
The family gets a simple message: the cycle is finished and the fee is due. No surprises.
Fee due
Nothing left to argue
Everyone sees the same number.
You see S$280 due. Your helper sees the register that produced it. The family watched the same ring fill at home. Three rooms, one truth.
And the real thing, in every role: how your data is walled off →
In real hands
Built for the people in the room.
The app is the quiet part. The room is teachers, families and children who showed up. ShowUp keeps everyone's story straight.

I built this for one real centre. Then it grew.
ShowUp wasn’t designed in a boardroom. It was built for a single, real centre — one teacher, one register, evenings lost to a spreadsheet — and it earned its keep there before anyone else was allowed in. Every feature exists because a real class needed it on a real Tuesday.
It’s still run that way. When you write, I answer — usually within a day. When you join, I look at your setup personally. And when something isn’t right, you get the person who built it, not a ticket queue.
ShowUp is not a booking app, an ERP, or a payment gateway — it does one thing: run your classes on attendance.

Your world, your words
Your kind of class, your words.
Students or swimmers, batches or squads, cycles or terms. The register relabels itself — same beads, same fairness, your vocabulary.

Common questions
The short version, in plain words.
What does ShowUp cost?
Plans start at S$19 a month (about US$15) for a solo teacher, and every plan includes the full attendance-to-fee engine. Paying yearly gets you about two months free, and the first 10 centres can lock in the Founding member price for as long as they stay.
What is ShowUp?
ShowUp is a simple attendance app for solo coaches, tutors and teachers. You mark who showed up in each class, and it works out the fee each family owes from the classes actually attended — so there is no spreadsheet, no month-end maths, and no bill to argue about.
How does attendance-based billing work?
You set a cycle of classes — say eight — at a set fee. Each attended class fills the cycle; a missed class simply pauses it. When the last class is attended the fee falls due, and the family has watched it add up the whole way, so it is never a surprise.
Can families see their attendance and fees?
Yes. Each family sees their child’s attendance and the cycle filling up in plain language, so by the time a fee is due they already understand exactly why. That shared view is what keeps bills dispute-free.
