Pick a date, review your photos, keep the best, delete the rest. No AI, no cloud, just you deciding what stays.
"To cull" means to sort through and select the best.
20,000+ photos and no idea where to start?
Duplicates, blurry shots, screenshots from 2019?
Storage full but you can't bring yourself to delete anything?
Cully was built to solve a common problem. A photo library that keeps growing, no good way to clean it up without uploading everything to some cloud service or paying for a subscription. So Cully keeps it simple: one random day, five minutes, done.
Choose today, a random day, or browse recent photos. Cully loads them straight from your iCloud photo library.
Scroll through your photos in a clean grid. Tap to mark what you want to delete, pinch to zoom in for a closer look.
iOS confirms every deletion. Photos move to your Recently Deleted folder where you can recover them for 30 days.
One purchase, every device. Your progress, stats and settings stay in sync via iCloud, so you can sort a day on the Mac and finish it on the iPhone.
Native on the Mac
A real Mac app with keyboard shortcuts, its own Settings window and a grid that uses the whole screen.
Made for the iPad
Three or four columns, big thumbnails, and every gesture you know from the iPhone.
Buy once
One App Store purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. No subscription, no in-app purchases.
Cully suggests a day and shows your progress at a glance.
Send a selection straight to an album instead of deleting it.
Sorted days are marked, so you always know where you stand.
Pinch to zoom right in the grid before you decide.
No account, no cloud processing, no tracking. Your photos never leave your device.
See how many photos you've deleted and how much storage you've freed. Lifetime, this week, per session.
Optional push notifications help you build a habit and keep your library tidy at your own pace.
Check your deletion stats at a glance without opening the app.
Your stats and settings carry over to all your devices via iCloud.
Keeping is sorting too. Move a selection into an existing or new album without leaving the grid.
You decide when a day is done. Sorted days count in your stats, show up in the calendar and come back less often.
Native apps for every screen, from iPhone SE to MacBook Pro. One purchase for all of them.
In photography, to cull means to go through your shots and keep only the best. It's the process every photographer knows: reviewing, selecting, and letting go of the rest. That's exactly what Cully helps you do with your entire photo library.
Your photos never leave your device. Here's what Cully does not do:
