Knots Guide

Knots Guide is a quick, easy-to-use reference for tying knots – for sailing, climbing, fishing, camping and everyday jobs around the house.

What's inside

• 92 knots in 10 categories: Bend, Binding, Climbing, Decorative, Fishing, Hitch, Looping, Running, Stopper and Whipping

• Photos and step-by-step pictures for most knots

• Written tying instructions, many as numbered steps

• Key facts at a glance: other names, typical use, whether it jams, related knots and cautions

• Tap a photo to see it full screen, then pinch or double-tap to zoom

• Works offline: everything is stored on your phone

The pictures come from Wikimedia Commons photographers and U.S. Army manuals, and each one is credited in the app.

Safety note: knots used for climbing, rescue or lifting can fail if they are tied or used wrongly. Learn them from a qualified instructor before you trust your safety to a knot.
