What we have made so far

01 Home

nbnb

Roommate matching

Good rooms, the right people.

nbnb shows the people before the room. It scores how well you match the people already living there on daily rhythm, tidiness and interests, and the current housemates vote together on who moves in.

02 Arrival

Anchak

Land in Korea

Korea's apps want a Korean number. Anchak doesn't.

Anchak collects what works without a Korean number. Show Cards that speak for you, a won calculator, places and day plans, and a checklist for before and after landing, in 8 languages. No sign-up needed.

STUDIO

PRELAB, a studio where apps are made like artwork.

STUDIO

Sketch, build, keep refining

We make apps the way you make work in a studio: sketch small, try it ourselves, and keep refining after release. Founder Youngsoo Kim studied graphic design at California College of the Arts (CCA) in San Francisco. Product, design, engineering and operations all happen here.
