Anchak
Land in Korea with one app
Only for iPhone
Free
iPhone
Anchak (안착) means "soft landing" in Korean — and that's exactly what this app gives you.
Whether you're visiting Korea for a week or moving here for years, Anchak turns the overwhelming "what do I do first?" into a personal checklist you can actually finish.
YOUR PERSONAL ARRIVAL CHECKLIST
Tell us two things — are you a tourist or a student/long-stayer, and when do you land — and Anchak builds your timeline: before you land, landing day, your first week, settling in, and even before you fly home. Check things off as you go, and add your own items. Your progress is saved on your phone. No account needed.

SHOW CARD — YOUR SCREEN DOES THE TALKING
Save your accommodation address and allergies once, then show big-type Korean cards when words fail: "take me to this address" for taxis, "less spicy please," allergy warnings, takeout and more.
EVERYTHING IMPORTANT, ONE TAP AWAY
Emergency numbers (112, 119, and the 24/7 multilingual 1330 helpline) are always one tap from the home screen.
NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING.
Everything stays on your device. Open the app and start — that's it.
