The Background Behind Dote Timer’s Development
As a company whose core business has long focused on online education, we’ve continuously sought ways to help our users stay focused while studying. At the same time, our internal team felt a growing need for better time management and improved concentration, which led us to develop a solution of our own.
With the widespread adoption of smartphones, people began to struggle more and more with maintaining their focus. In response, Dote Timer was designed as a simple yet effective tool for time management, built to help users unlock their natural ability to concentrate.
From the outset, Dote Timer was developed with global scalability in mind. Time management and productivity have become universal challenges around the world, and we aimed to offer a tool that transcends borders—intuitive and accessible to anyone, regardless of nationality or culture. In line with this vision, we prioritized the release of an English version of our product website, targeting not only the Korean market but also international users from the start.
Our ultimate goal was to help people across the globe manage their time more effectively and boost their focus with Dote Timer.
A Leap Toward Becoming a Global Education Brand
The success of Dote Planner in overseas markets marked a turning point for our company. While our online education services had faced natural limitations due to subject matter and language barriers, we now had a clear goal of succeeding globally. Although Korean companies have made their mark in gaming and entertainment, achievements in the education sector have been relatively limited. We took on the challenge with the bold ambition of becoming the first Korean company to lead globally in education and self-development.
Confidence in Our Team
At first glance, the Dote Timer project may have seemed overly ambitious. However, we had both the capabilities of a highly skilled team and the support of years of experience. Our developers included past winners of hackathons hosted by IBM and Samsung Electronics, and our company had previously been recognized as a partner for the launch of Samsung’s smartwatches. In the field of educational app development, we are also among the most experienced in Korea.
This experience, combined with our unwavering confidence in our team, gave us the courage to aim for success in the global market. With Dote Timer, we are opening up new possibilities in education and self-improvement on a worldwide scale.
