Cull

Do the first pass on a shoot in minutes - on-device, private, free.

Cull takes the soul-destroying part of a shoot off your plate: the first pass. Import a shoot and it scores every frame on your device - sharpness, eyes open or closed, exposure - then groups the near-identical shots into moments and stars the best of each burst. You keep or reject at a glance, then export XMP sidecars, a JPEG folder, a Photos album, or a CSV straight into Lightroom or Capture One. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is altered, and your originals are never touched.

Features

Everything Cull does well.

On-device AI first pass

Every frame scored for focus, eyes and exposure - no cloud, no account.

Best of each burst

Near-duplicates grouped into moments, with the keeper starred for you.

Straight into Lightroom

Export XMP sidecars, a JPEG folder, a Photos album, or CSV.

Private by design

Photos never leave your device; your originals are never modified.

The idea

Culling a shoot is hours of the same tiny judgement, over and over. We wanted a first pass that runs entirely on your own device - fast, private, and free - so you can spend your time editing the frames that survive, not sorting the ones that don't.

FAQ

Good to know.

Does Cull upload my photos?

Never. All scoring, grouping and reviewing happens on your device - it works fully in airplane mode. No servers, no account.

Will it delete or change my originals?

No. Your keep and reject decisions are saved as flags. Cull never modifies or deletes your original photos.

How much does it cost?

Cull is free, with no subscription and no in-app purchases.

Ashvara designed and built Cull end to end.
