About

Culla

Read full description

Culla is the fastest way to tidy your camera roll β€” one photo at a time, by feel. Swipe right to file a photo into one of your galleries. Swipe left to let it go. That's the whole idea: instead of scrolling an endless grid, you make one clean decision per photo and move on. It's quick, tactile, and oddly satisfying β€” and because your galleries are real iPhone Photos albums, everything you sort stays organized across your device. SORTING BY FEEL β€’ Swipe right toward any gallery to file the photo there; swipe left to dismiss it. β€’ Swipe up to favorite, swipe down to share, pinch to zoom, double-tap to skip. β€’ A full undo history β€” step back through every action in a session, not just the last one. Tap the date pill to bring undo back anytime. β€’ Gentle haptics and confirmation toasts, so every decision feels registered. β€’ Photos and videos both flow through the stack; videos auto-play muted. GALLERIES THAT ARE REAL ALBUMS β€’ Create, rename, recolor, and reorder galleries β€” each one syncs to a real Photos album. β€’ Rename a gallery in Culla and the iPhone album updates too. β€’ Import albums you already have, and choose whether sorting moves a photo or copies it. β€’ Order your galleries by name, photo count, date, or recently updated β€” or arrange them by hand. FIND, REVISIT, AND CLEAN UP β€’ Duplicate Sweep uses on-device Vision to find near-identical shots and shows them side by side, so you can clear them with confidence. β€’ On This Day resurfaces photos from today's date in past years. β€’ A photo-mosaic calendar and a full grid picker let you jump to any moment in your library. β€’ Dismissed photos wait in a review tray β€” recover them or batch-delete to reclaim storage. SEE YOUR PROGRESS β€’ Insights tracks everything you've sorted: totals, streaks, favorites, your top gallery, a 7-day activity chart, and how much storage you've reclaimed. MAKE IT YOURS β€’ A new Living-Glass design built on iOS 26's Liquid Glass, with a clean fallback on iOS 18. β€’ A dynamic mosaic background that breathes with your galleries, with adjustable blur β€” or turn it off entirely. β€’ An 18-color accent palette, light / dark / system themes, and a fresh accent on every launch if you like a little surprise. β€’ Available in 8 languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos never leave your device. Culla only stores lightweight references to them β€” never copies of the images β€” with no ads and no tracking. Works on iPhone and iPad.
