One random day, all your years at once. Your first five sorting days are free, then one purchase unlocks unlimited days, forever. No subscription, no account, no AI.
Tidy up your photo library. Day by day.
Over 20,000 photos and no idea where to start? Cully turns that into something you can actually do.
The idea is simple: choose a random date and browse your photos from that day, from all years at once. A different slice of your life, every session. Keep the best, delete the rest. Five minutes a day, and your library feels lighter.
HOW IT WORKS
• Cully suggests a day. You instantly see all photos from that day, across all years. Not in the mood? Roll again or pick a date in the calendar, where sorted days are marked.
• Scroll through your grid. Select photos and zoom in for a closer look.
• Every deletion needs your confirmation. Photos go to Recently Deleted and can be restored for 30 days.
FEATURES
• Privacy first: No account, no server, no tracking. Your photos never leave your device.
• Smart random: Prefers days you haven't sorted yet.
• Albums: Send a selection straight to an album instead of deleting it.
• Finish a day: You decide when a day is done. Sorted days show up in your stats and calendar.
• Live Photos & videos: Play them right in the grid.
• Share originals: Long-press or right-click any photo to share it in full quality.
• Your stats: See how many photos you've deleted and how much storage you've freed up.
• Gentle reminders: Optional notifications to help you stay on track.
• Widgets: Your deletion stats at a glance.
• iPhone, iPad and Mac: Native apps for every screen, stats and settings in sync via your own iCloud.
• Free to try: Your first five sorting days are free, meaning five dates whose photos you sort, with no time limit. After that, one purchase unlocks unlimited days on all your devices. No subscription.
• Quick actions: Jump straight to a random day, today's date or the last 7 or 30 days.
WHY CULLY?
In photography, "to cull" means going through your shots and keeping only the best. We built Cully because we had the same problem: a photo library that kept growing, with no good way to clean it up.
No account. No AI. No analytics. No subscription. Just open it and get started.
Made in Berlin.
I never ever write reviews but I have to say, this is the most useful app I’ve EVER purchased. I’ve been telling myself for years I need to clean up my camera roll. I’ve almost filled up my iCloud storage so I started looking for an easy way to do it & found Cully! I started with 23k photos on my phone. I have deleted 5200 so far AND organized others into albums at the same time. I’m only 1/3 of the way through my days. I love how it’s organized, that it gives me states, and gives me bite sized chunks to work through. When I get through all the randomized days, I’ll continue keeping it organized by using the “last 30 days” feature every so often! I also appreciate that I didn’t have to create an account and that it’s not using AI to sort/delete photos. The ONLY thing I would change is that when you select a bunch of photos and add them to an album, I wish it would automatically deselect them. Or at least have that option, I didn’t see it in the settings. Either way, this app is a GAME CHANGER.

Wow, thank you for this detailed review 🙏! 5200 photos culled and albums organized along the way, that's exactly what Cully is made for. Great point about deselecting after adding to an album, I'll take it on the request list. Enjoy the rest of your days, and the "last 30 days" mode afterwards!
So helpful and so worth the price!

Im really thankful for any app that doesn’t force a subscription. For that alone, 5/5 stars. However this app is also just fun! Instead of scrolling, I find myself going through my photos. I’ve deleted around 500 in just a few days. It makes going through 20,000 photos way less daunting. My only annoyance is that when I click for a random date, It frequently takes me to a date that I had just gone through. Overall I’m really impressed and will definitely be recommending to others!!
Developer Response
Thank you for your feedback and gentle words 🙏! Good news on the random date: since version 2.0, days you've marked with "Done sorting" are put at the back of the queue, so you should see far fewer repeats. Glad Cully makes your 20,000 photos less daunting!
So simple! Eradicates (most of) my lazy obstacles to photo cleanup work.

Cully is great. Really simple idea: go pull up a handful of photos from a certain date, check them out, delete a selection or al or none of them. It takes minutes, and if you do it regularly, you’ll have made a sizable dent in your eleventeen million photos. I had no idea how much old junk was in there. Once a job gets to big, it seems useless to try. Cully turns it into tiny manageable chunks. Bonus: seeing patterns over the years

Nice easy bites, much less overwhelming this way and a nice way to look back over the years
