What’s New in Version 1.3 Latest
- Skill Map — a 112-knot mastery grid that shows your progress across the entire catalog. Knots are color-coded by level: Never tried, Attempting, Reliable, or Mastered. Filter by category or level, view per-category progress bars, and tap any cell to open that knot's detail view.
- Drill Mode — tap "Start drill" in the Practice tab to begin a timed 5-knot session. The app selects the knots you need most, weighted by how deep your mastery is, your reliability rate, and when you last tied each one. Each knot shows a first-step reminder and dressing note, a live timer, and a star rating sheet. Results are saved to your practice log automatically.
- Focus List — the Practice tab now highlights your three weakest knots (tried at least once, lowest reliability rate) so you always have a clear next step without searching the full catalog.
