Mobile apps
Some of Toolbox's public-information tools are also available as phone apps. All of the apps are made for Korea: they use Korean public data, work with Korean addresses and programs, and their screens are in Korean. They use the same data as the web versions and add features suited to a phone. Store availability varies by country, so an app may not appear in your region's store.
Building Register Lookup (건축물대장 조회)
- What it does
- Enter a Korean address to look up the building register, the official government record of a building. For an apartment, officetel (a Korean studio-style building), or villa (a low-rise multi-unit building), it shows the exclusive floor area in square meters and in pyeong (a Korean unit of about 3.3 m²), plus the building's use, number of floors, and the date it was approved for use. For apartments, row houses, multi-unit villas, and officetels, it also shows reported actual transaction prices (sales, jeonse, a Korean lump-sum deposit lease, and monthly rent), as filed with the Korean government.
- How it differs from the web
- You can open it straight from your phone's home screen.

- What it does
- Enter your situation to see Korean central and local government benefits and subsidies you may qualify for, and get alerts about new benefits and upcoming deadlines.
- How it differs from the web

- How it differs from the web
