Culla — Fast Photo Culling

Culla is a fast, keyboard-driven way to cull a shoot on your Mac. Open a memory card, an external disk or any folder and start right away: there's nothing to import and no catalog to build.

Look at each photo once and decide: keep it, reject it or mark it as a favorite. One key per decision, and the next photo is already on screen.

RIGHT ON THE CARD • Works directly on memory cards, external disks and folders. • Photos appear while Culla is still scanning, so you can start immediately. • Your decisions live on the card itself: rejected photos move into a _Culla_Rejected folder and favorites into _Culla_Favorites, with the original folder structure kept inside. • Culla never deletes anything. When you're sure, delete the rejects yourself in the Finder.

BUILT FOR RAW SHOOTERS • RAF, CR3, CR2, NEF, ARW, ORF, RW2 and DNG, plus JPEG and HEIC/HEIF. • A RAW file, its JPEG or HEIC twin and the .xmp sidecar are one photo and always move together. • Photos are shown in the order they were taken, even across several folders or cameras. • Zoom in to check focus: Culla loads the full-resolution image while you look. • The inspector shows camera, lens, exposure, size and every file the photo is made of.

FAST AND SAFE • Customizable keyboard shortcuts that work with any input language. • Holding a key doesn't repeat Reject or Favorite, so you can't mark a whole burst by accident. • Unlimited undo and redo for every decision. • If a card is pulled out mid-move, Culla finds the affected photos next time and puts them back. • Read-only cards are detected, so nothing is changed by mistake.

PROJECTS • Every card or folder you open becomes a project in Recent Projects, each in its own window. • Culla remembers where you left off: the photo, the collection and your layout.

No account, no tracking. Your photos never leave your Mac.
