Clean up your photo library. One day at a time.

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.

Sound familiar?

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.

How Cully works

1

Pick a date

Choose today, a random day, or browse recent photos. Cully loads them straight from your iCloud photo library.

2

Review and select

Scroll through your photos in a clean grid. Tap to mark what you want to delete, pinch to zoom in for a closer look.

3

Delete safely

iOS confirms every deletion. Photos move to your Recently Deleted folder where you can recover them for 30 days.

iPhone, iPad and Mac

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.

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.

Check your deletion stats at a glance without opening the app.

Synced across devices

Your stats and settings carry over to all your devices via iCloud.

Straight into albums

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.

iPhone, iPad and Mac

Native apps for every screen, from iPhone SE to MacBook Pro. One purchase for all of them.

What does "cull" mean?

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 data stays yours

Your photos never leave your device. Here's what Cully does not do:

No account or login required
No uploads or cloud processing
No analytics or tracking
No access to contacts, location, or other data
No AI analysis of your photos
