CullMe vs LAI

CullMe is the fastest way to clean up your photo library — and it all happens on your device. Your camera roll fills up with near-identical bursts, accidental duplicates, and blurry misfires. CullMe scans your library on-device, scores every shot for sharpness and quality, groups the look-alikes, and picks the keeper automatically. You review, tap, and reclaim gigabytes in minutes. WHY CULLME • On-device analysis — your photos never leave your phone. No uploads, no account, no cloud. • Smart quality scoring — instantly see which shots are sharp and which are blurry. • Duplicate & burst grouping — CullMe finds the near-identical shots and highlights the best one. • One-tap culling — keep the best, remove the rest, and watch your free space grow. • Trip albums — photos are grouped into the trips and moments they came from. • Video compression — shrink large videos to save space without deleting the memory. Culled photos go to your Recently Deleted album, so nothing is ever gone for good until you say so. Reclaim your storage. Keep only the shots worth keeping. Try CullMe.

LAI is a fast, distraction-free photo culling app for photographers. Built for iPhone, iPad and Mac, it gives you everything you need to review, rate, and organize your shots — no AI, no algorithms, and your photo files never leave your devices. Review the way you think Open any local folder and start reviewing immediately. Swipe left/right to move between photos, rate with stars, reject with a key press, and assign color labels (red, yellow, green, blue, purple). Organize with Groups Select photos and add them to groups to separate hero shots from alternatives. Filter the grid by group to focus on what matters. EXIF when you need it Open the EXIF panel to see camera, lens, shutter speed, aperture, and ISO next to your photo — without leaving the review view. Compare and decide Select 2 photos to compare side by side with synchronized pan and zoom. Pick the winner with confidence. Private by design LAI reads only the folders you pick with the system file picker. Nothing is ever sent to the developer, and there is no analytics or tracking of any kind. Your photo files stay on your devices — image data is never uploaded. If you turn on iCloud sync, LAI syncs your culling work through your own private iCloud container so it follows you between iPhone, iPad and Mac: ratings, rejections, color labels, groups (their names, photos and order) and culling progress, together with your folder cards (name, cover photo, and whether the folder is local or in iCloud Drive), the catalog entries that identify each photo (file names, each photo's path relative to the folder you picked, capture dates, dimensions, file sizes and RAW+JPG pairs) and per-folder camera and focal-length statistics. Everything stays inside your private iCloud database — the developer cannot access it. Folder access permissions are never synced; you grant them separately on each device. You can leave iCloud sync off, and LAI works fully offline. Built for speed - Keyboard shortcuts: 1–5 stars, R reject, 6–9 color labels (Shift+9 purple), arrow keys to navigate, I for EXIF - Apple Pencil double-tap to toggle reject - Fast masonry grid with a 4-level thumbnail pipeline - RAW+JPEG pairs treated as a single photo Deleting rejected photos always moves files to the system Trash — never a silent permanent delete. Formats - RAW: every RAW format your iPhone, iPad or Mac can read — including ARW, CR2, CR3, NEF, DNG, RW2, ORF, RAF and PEF - JPEG, HEIC, HEIF, PNG, TIFF, AVIF and WebP LAI is your culling companion - fast, focused, and private.
