About this app

Most knot apps are encyclopedias. You look something up, close the app, and by the time you need that knot your hands have forgotten it. Knotwise is a knot tying trainer: short lessons, real practice, and a review deck that brings back exactly what you miss, until the knots live in your hands.

218 KNOTS, TWO WAYS TO SEE EACH ONE
Every knot has a step-by-step tying animation you can slow down, loop, or scrub frame by frame, plus a 360° view you can spin, tilt and pinch to zoom. Check the finished knot from the back before you trust it.

A COURSE FOR WHATEVER YOU DO
Start with 12 essential knots, then follow your activity: boating and sailing, fishing, climbing, camping, scouting, arborist work, fire and rescue, caving, diving and more. 14 courses in teaching order, so one knot builds on the last, with 98 field notes on the craft around the rope.

LESSONS THAT TEACH BEFORE THEY TEST
A lesson walks the knot first: what it is for, the motion, the mistakes people actually make. Then it asks questions you can answer because it just taught you. Finish it and the knot joins your review schedule.

A TRAINER THAT CATCHES WHAT YOU FORGET
Name the knot from a picture. Pick it out of a lineup. Choose the right knot for a real situation. Every miss earns one card in your review deck, asked back the same way it caught you. Spaced repetition decides when. A streak and an accuracy score tell you it is working.

NOT SURE WHICH KNOT?
Tell Knotwise the job. A tent line, a dock cleat, a load that has to stay put. You get the right knot with the reason why, one tap from its guide.

MADE YOURS
Say what you tie for and your library leads with the knots that matter for it. 13 categories, 15 knot families, searchable by name, alternate name, or what you need the knot to do.

WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL
Every knot, animation and 360° view lives on the device. Nothing streams, nothing stops working on a boat, up a tree, or out of range. No ads, ever. AI features and account sync require an internet connection.

YOUR LIBRARY FOLLOWS YOU
Favorites, progress, plan and review deck sync with your account, so a new phone picks up where the old one left off.

SUBSCRIPTION
Knotwise requires a subscription, with full access to everything above:
• Yearly: $49.99/year (US), with a 7-day free trial
• Monthly: $9.99/month (US)
Payment is charged to your Google Play account at confirmation of purchase, or after your free trial ends if eligible. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Google Play subscription settings. Prices and available offers may vary by region and are shown before purchase.

SAFETY
Knotwise is an educational reference. Knots that carry people or loads are flagged with what to watch for, but critical rope systems need qualified hands-on instruction, rated equipment, correct dressing and loading, and inspection before use. No app replaces that.
