Knotlet: Knot Tying Guide

Forgot how to tie a bowline? Knotlet shows every knot step by step, so you can see exactly which rope goes over and which goes under.

Most knot guides use blurry photos or a few cramped drawings. Knotlet draws each knot cleanly: the standing part in navy, the working end in mustard, and a clear gap at every crossing. Pause on any step, scrub back and forth, slow it down, or flip it for left hands.

WHAT YOU GET
• Step-by-step knot animations you can pause, rewind and replay
• A faint guide line shows where the end goes next
• Every step written in plain words
• All steps at a glance, so you can jump straight to the one you need
• Search by name or by job, like "tie to a post" or "join two ropes"
• Filter by use (boating, camping, climbing, fishing, scouting, rescue) and by type (stopper, bend, loop, hitch)
• Works fully offline, on the water or in the woods. No account needed

KNOTS IN THIS VERSION
Overhand knot, figure-eight knot, square (reef) knot, sheet bend, bowline, clove hitch, cleat hitch and timber hitch. More knots are added in updates.

LEARN IT ONCE, KEEP IT
Knots fade if you don't use them. Tie a knot for real, tap "I tied it", and Knotlet tracks it from learning to practiced to mastered. The practice tab shows which knots to tie again, oldest first, and a quick quiz helps you remember their names. A knot of the day keeps the habit going.

FOR SAILORS, CAMPERS, CLIMBERS AND SCOUTS
Tie a boat to a cleat, put up a tarp, join two ropes of different sizes, or make a fixed loop that won't slip. Each knot explains what it is good for, what it is also called, and when not to trust it.

SHARE A KNOT
Send a clean knot card to a friend or your scout group in one tap.

SAFETY
Knotlet is a learning guide. If a knot failing could hurt someone or damage property, learn it from a skilled instructor first.
