About

Knotless

Features
Read full description

Knotless is a small app where you simply tap glowing knot tiles and watch them turn. There are no rules. No scores. No ads. No words on the screen. Tap a tile, and the strand changes direction. Tap again, and the colors shift. The pattern feels like it is almost tangled, almost untangled, always moving. Knotless is not an app for achieving anything. It is just something to tap.
