Your camera roll is full of the same photo, twelve times. Culla finds those near-duplicate bursts — the ones where you took six shots to get one good smile — and turns clearing them out into something you can actually finish. SWIPE, DON'T AGONISE Photos come one card at a time. Swipe right to keep, left to delete. That's the whole interaction. No checkboxes, no long-press-and-select, no scrolling through a grid trying to remember which one you already looked at. SIMILAR SHOTS, GROUPED Culla analyses your photos on your iPhone and groups the ones that are near-duplicates of each other. You see them back to back, so choosing between them is easy — and a star marks the sharpest, best-exposed shot of the group so you know which one is worth keeping. FIVE MINUTES IS ENOUGH Sessions are time-boxed. Start one on the train, in a queue, waiting for coffee. When the timer runs out you finish the photo you're on, then review. It's a small habit, not a weekend project. NOTHING DISAPPEARS BY ACCIDENT Every photo you mark goes to a review screen first. Change your mind on any of them with a single tap. Only when you confirm does Culla ask iOS to delete — and iOS asks you one more time before it does. Deleted photos land in Recently Deleted, recoverable for 30 days, just like anything else you remove from Photos. Made a mistake mid-swipe? Undo is right there. PRIVATE BY DESIGN All analysis happens on your iPhone using Apple's own frameworks. Your photos are never uploaded — Culla has no servers and couldn't send them anywhere if it wanted to. There is no account and no sign-in. The only thing that ever leaves your iPhone is a request for an ad. Ads are non-personalised, so you are never tracked across apps or websites. WHAT YOU GET BACK Culla shows you how many photos you've cleared, roughly how much space you've freed, and how many days in a row you've kept it up. Small numbers, but they add up faster than you'd think. Culla is free to use for five minutes a day. Need longer? Watch a short ad for three more minutes, as many times as you like. Earned time resets at midnight along with your free five. A short ad also appears after every second review you finish. Culla Premium removes both. CULLA PREMIUM Go unlimited — no daily timer and no ads — with a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.
