## What is Cull?

Cull does the first pass on a photo shoot for you — entirely on your device.

Import a shoot and Cull scores every frame for the things that decide a keeper: sharpness, eyes open or closed, and exposure. It groups the near-identical shots into moments, stars the best of each burst, and lets you keep or reject at a glance. What took an evening now takes minutes.

THE FREE FIRST PASS

• On-device AI scoring — every frame rated for focus, eyes, and exposure. No cloud, no account, no waiting on an upload.
• Best of each burst — near-duplicates grouped into moments with the strongest frame starred for you.
• Fast keep / reject — swipe or tap through a shoot, zoom to 100%, and see exactly why each frame scored the way it did.
• Straight into your editor — export standards-based XMP sidecars (picks flagged, stars as ratings), a JPEG folder, a Photos album, or a CSV.
• Private by design — photos never leave your device, and your originals are never modified or deleted.

THE PRO TOOLKIT — ONE PURCHASE, YOURS FOREVER

• Compare mode — 2–4 frames of a burst side-by-side with synced zoom and pan, then "Pick this" to decide the whole moment.
• Focus map — a heat overlay showing exactly where focus landed in the frame.
• People view — the shoot grouped by person: see everyone's blinks, sweep them per person, and confirm every person has a keeper.
• Custom profiles — dial the AI's strictness from conservative to aggressive, and let it learn from your overrules.
• Pro export pack — full-resolution JPEGs of your picks, plus custom XMP label colors and reject mapping.

Pro is a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever.

BUILT FOR REAL SHOOTS

Portrait, event, sports, wedding — pick a grouping profile that matches how you shoot. RAW supported, including CR2/CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, ORF, RW2, and DNG. Works fully offline; you can use it in airplane mode.

Cull — the first pass, done.
