CullSnap

What CullSnap is

CullSnap is a free desktop app for photographers who need to review, rate, organize, and export photos and videos. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Its virtualized grid uses cached thumbnails to browse large collections, with one-to-five-star ratings and EXIF overlays. Perceptual hashing groups duplicate or burst photos, and image-quality scoring helps select a candidate. Local AI scoring can assess face quality, sharpness, and aesthetic quality. The optional NIMA aesthetic model must be exported manually; without it, no aesthetic score is available. Users can trim video segments for export using FFmpeg lossless fast-seek. Listed formats include JPEG, PNG, HEIC/HEIF, 11 RAW formats, and MP4, MOV, WEBM, MKV, and AVI. CullSnap can import from phones, cameras, SD cards, and USB drives, though device support varies by operating system and optional dependencies. Cloud Albums supports Google Drive and, on macOS, iCloud Photos. Google Drive access is read-only, and selected photos are cached locally. The app says it stores data locally and collects no telemetry, analytics, or usage data; Drive access and update checks can still make network requests. It is offered under AGPLv3, with a commercial license for uses that cannot comply with those terms.
