Cullit
AI-assisted photo culling for Mac that keeps your photos on your computer
Cullit is a Mac photo culling app using on-device AI to flag focus issues, closed eyes, and smiles, with all analysis running locally on your computer.
About this launch
Cullit is a lightweight photo culling application for Mac photographers. The app uses on-device AI to assist with culling by analyzing every face in photos to identify focus quality (0-100 score), eye status (open, partly open, or closed), and smile detection. All processing runs locally on your computer with zero uploads, ensuring complete privacy.
The workflow is designed to be fast and simple: import photos from SD cards or folders with instant preview rendering, use the AI insights alongside manual controls like flagging, star ratings, and color labels to make culling decisions, then export picks directly to Lightroom Classic (with XMP sidecars), Capture One, or to a folder. The app supports major camera RAW formats (CR3, CR2, NEF, ARW, RAF, ORF, RW2, DNG) plus JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.
Features include batch operations, grid and side-by-side photo comparison, EXIF viewing, customizable metadata presets, and batch renaming. Photographers can filter by sharpness, face characteristics, ratings, and labels. The app offers a free 14-day trial with full features before subscription.
