How it works
Three steps. Your photos, your call.
Pick a session
Open an album and narrow it by date range. Sessions are isolated so you never lose your place.
Swipe to decide
Swipe right to keep, left to cull. Move as fast as your thumb, and undo any call the moment you change your mind.
Confirm and reclaim space
Review your staged culls, confirm once, and watch the storage number drop. Nothing leaves until you say so.
Built to make culling effortless
Fast gestures. Simple filters. Zero data leaving your phone.
Review on your terms
Narrow a session down to an album or a date range, then sort newest or oldest first. You only review the mess you mean to.
Undo anything
Changed your mind? One gesture brings the last photo back. Nothing leaves until you confirm the session.
Batch sessions
Pick an album, swipe through the whole roll, then confirm once. Hundreds of photos, one deliberate decision.
Library stats
After each session Cull shows exactly how much space you reclaimed and how many photos you reviewed.
Runs entirely on your device. No server, ever.
Cull uses Apple's PhotoKit to work directly with your library. Your photos never leave your phone because there is no server to send them to.Read the privacy policy ↗
Frequently asked questions
- Where do culled photos go?
- Photos you cull are sent to the iOS Recently Deleted album, where they stay for 30 days before iOS removes them permanently. You can recover them from Apple Photos during that window.
- Does Cull upload my photos anywhere?
- No. Everything happens on your device through Apple's PhotoKit. Cull has no server and never transmits your photos.
- I granted limited photo access. Will Cull still work?
- Yes. Cull supports both full and limited photo access. With limited access it only sees the photos you selected.
- Can I undo a cull?
- Yes. Use undo to bring back the last photo. Nothing is deleted until you confirm a session, and even then it lands in Recently Deleted first.
