Cullit
What Cullit is
Cullit is a macOS photo-culling app for wedding, sports, and portrait photographers. Its on-device AI reports face focus, eye state, and smiles to help review a shoot, while the photographer decides which images to keep. Photos and derived face data stay on the computer, and culling works offline. Cullit says customer photos are not used to train, improve, tune, or evaluate its AI. It does not identify people, match faces between photos, or build face groups or a face database.
The app supports camera RAW formats including CR3, CR2, NEF, ARW, RAF, ORF, RW2, and DNG, as well as JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. Tools 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; star ratings and color labels can be written to XMP sidecars read by Lightroom Classic. Cullit Pro is €5.99 a month, billed yearly at €71.88, with one device included. A 14-day trial requires a payment card and becomes a paid subscription unless canceled. The product is in beta; its Windows build is in preparation.
