Tie Knots 3D

A 3D knot-tying guide you can actually follow.

Still photos lose you halfway through a knot. This app rebuilds classic knots as 3D animations you can drag to any angle and scrub frame by frame, so you can always see which strand goes over and which goes under.

Features • Classic knots rebuilt as 3D animations (with more being added) • Drag to rotate 360° — look at the knot from behind if you need to • Speed slider and frame-by-frame scrubbing for the one step that trips you up • Shoelace lacing shown in 3D — follow the lace through a sneaker's eyelets • Switch the rope's material — hemp, jute, paracord, fishing line and more • Strength / ease of tying / ease of untying shown at a glance • Save the knots you use most to Favorites • Dark theme • Works completely offline — no signal required

Good for Camping, hiking and fishing, tarp and tent setup, paracord and macrame crafts, lacing up your sneakers, packing and moving house, gardening and DIY lashing, boating, scouting, and emergency preparedness.
