Cullit
Cullit is a macOS photo-culling app for photographers who need to review shoots.
What Cullit is
Cullit is a macOS photo-culling app for photographers who need to review shoots. Its on-device AI reports face focus, eye state, and smiles, while the photographer decides which images to keep. Photos and derived face data are analyzed on the computer, culling works offline, and Cullit says customer photos are not used to train or evaluate its AI. It does not identify people, match faces across photos, or create face groups or a face database. The app supports major camera RAW formats including CR3, CR2, NEF, ARW, RAF, ORF, RW2, and DNG, as well as JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. Workflow features include SD-card import, grouping by capture time, batch grid actions, side-by-side comparison, EXIF viewing, IPTC presets, and batch renaming. Picks can be exported to Lightroom, Capture One, or a folder. Cullit Pro costs €5.99 a month, billed yearly at €71.88, and includes one device. The 14-day full-feature trial requires a payment card and converts to a subscription unless canceled. Cullit is in beta, and its terms say features may change and occasional issues are expected.
