With Knotly: A live signed timer logs every minute. The history is undeniable, payroll is trusted.
Today: Schedules, changes and equipment coordinated across five WhatsApp groups no one fully reads.

Peace of mind, by design
Every hour recorded.
Every payment justified.
Every instructor protected.
What if every lesson became impossible to dispute? That's the standard Knotly sets — for you, your team and your students.
How the platform works
From booking to payment,
one connected operation.
Five moments that tie every lesson together — no spreadsheets, no chat threads, no reconciliation at month-end.
- 01
Student books
A student picks a date and a discipline. The request lands directly in your school's calendar.
- 02
Instructor is assigned
You assign the right instructor in one tap — they get notified instantly with all the lesson details.
- 03
Every minute is tracked
The live timer starts when the lesson begins. Every minute on the water is logged automatically and signed.
- 04
Payment is recorded
Each completed lesson links to its payment status. No more reconciling cash, transfers and notes by hand.
- 05
You stay in control
A real-time view of hours, revenue, instructors and gear — for the day, the week and the season.
Never lose a lesson
Every lesson starts, pauses and ends inside Knotly. Duration is logged automatically and signed by the student.
Everyone in one place
Students, instructors, levels, contacts and history — one connected roster for your entire school.
Gear you can account for
Boards, sails, wetsuits, wings — always know what's out, what's back and what needs a check.
Know your numbers
Hours per instructor, revenue per week, payouts owed — no spreadsheets, no month-end scramble.
THE MODERN WAY TO RUN A SCHOOL
The operating system
for watersports schools
Not another management app. A single operational surface where every minute on the water is tracked, attributed and archived — one workflow your team will actually use.
Your daily control room
Everything a school owner needs at a glance, from any computer.
01
Track every lesson, live
Every minute on the water is captured and signed the moment it happens — no paperwork later, no arguments ever.
02
Your whole school, one place
Students, instructors, levels, contacts — every person tied to every lesson they share. Nothing scattered, nothing forgotten.
03
Real-time visibility
See who's on the water, with whom, for how long. Weekly hours and revenue at a glance — for the day, the week, the season.

A quiet upside of running paperless: less waste on the beach, no printed sheets in the office, and a lighter footprint for the coastline you teach on every day.
Zero paper, zero printers
Lessons, signatures and rentals live in the app — no printed forms, no toner, no soggy clipboards.
Less operational waste
Digital schedules, gear logs and reports cut duplicated work and the supplies that come with it.
No physical archives
Every record stays searchable in the cloud — no binders, no shelves, no boxes to ship at season's end.
