## What is Anchak?

Anchak (안착) means "soft landing" in Korean, and that's what this app is for.

Whether you're visiting Korea for a week or moving here for a degree, Anchak turns "what do I do first?" into a personal checklist, a trip you can actually follow, and the Korean you need when nobody speaks English. And now you can ask people who already live here.

AT A GLANCE
• A personal checklist from before you land to flying home
• Show Card: big Korean for taxis, pharmacies and restaurants
• Subway maps for 5 cities, live arrivals in Seoul
• 401 places in 58 cities, 32 day plans and your own trip planner
• KTX, train and express bus timetables, Incheon Airport flights
• 28 everyday things checked without a Korean phone number
• 26 guides: K-ETA, eSIM, T-money, ARC, banking, housing
• Community Q&A, translated into your language
• Home screen widgets, 8 languages, light or dark, free with no ads

SUBWAY MAP
Seoul area, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju and Daejeon on one map, station names in your language. Tap a Seoul-area station for live arrivals, or plan a route between stations.

COMMUNITY
Questions, tips and talk about visas, getting around, food, money and daily life, sorted by topic and city. Every post shows up in the reader's own language, with the original one tap away. Add photos and mark the answers that helped. Reading is open to everyone. Posting takes a free account, and report, block and account deletion are built in.

YOUR RUNWAY
Answer three questions (tourist or student, when you land, where) and Anchak builds your timeline: before you land, landing day, your first week, settling in, flying home. Check things off, skip what's not for you, add your own. Your checklist stays on your phone.

MY TRIP
Plan each day with your saved places, 32 ready-made day plans or anything you type. Every stop knows its Korean name, nearest subway exit and walking time, so you can show the driver or open directions in one tap.

TRAINS, BUSES AND FLIGHTS
Timetables and fares for KTX, ITX, Mugunghwa and express buses between cities, then book in the official app or at the station. Check your Incheon Airport flight: terminal, check-in counters, gate and status.

WORKS WITHOUT A KOREAN NUMBER
Korean apps often ask for a Korean phone number or card. We checked 28 everyday things, from taxis and delivery to trains and banking, with foreign phones and cards: what just works, what has a way, and what needs a Korean ID.

401 PLACES ACROSS 58 CITIES
Spots locals would actually text you, from Seoul and Busan to Jeju and small coastal towns. Browse by city and interest, see festivals on now, and for many places how busy it gets this week, accessibility, parking and audio stories. Then open directions in Naver Map or Google Maps.

SHOW CARD
Big-type Korean for taxis, pharmacies and restaurants, with 29 ready-made cards. Type anything in your language and show the Korean, or let your phone say it out loud. They tap an answer, and you read it in your language.

WHERE AM I? AND HELP NEARBY
Show where you are as a Korean address to a taxi driver, or when you call 112 or 119. Find pharmacies and clinics open near you, weather alerts, public holidays, and your embassy (118 countries).

26 GUIDES THAT GET THINGS DONE
Written for foreigners, updated for 2026, with official links: K-ETA and the e-Arrival Card, airport to city, eSIM and a Korean number, T-money, money and banking, ARC and HiKorea, part-time work, housing, doctors and pharmacies, delivery apps, trash rules and 100 survival Korean phrases.

WON CALCULATOR AND CULTURE CARDS
Live rates in your currency, the bills at a glance, and what a coffee or a taxi really costs. Plus 140 quiz cards on the everyday Korea nobody warns you about.

EVERYTHING IN YOUR LANGUAGE
English, 한국어, 日本語, 简体中文, 繁體中文, Español, Français, Русский: the whole app, not just the menu. Emergency numbers (112, 119, 1330) are always one tap away.

No ads. Made by PRELAB, a small Korean studio building tools for foreigners starting a life in Korea.
