Clean up an SD card full of photos, quick! I built SDCull because I wanted to take advantage of the amazing displays on my iPad and iPhone when culling on the go, but I prefer to do my editing at home on a desktop. SDCull lets photographers sort a shoot right off the card — flag the rejects, pick out the keepers, and send each set exactly where you want it, all without importing a thing. Two workflows, one pass through your shoot: - Cull: Flag the "rejects" and move them to a _Culls folder — a safety net you can review one last time, then delete to reclaim space. - Select: Flag your keepers and move them straight to a destination of your choice — a subfolder on the card, or another drive or folder on your device. Selects are never deleted; they're the shots you're keeping. Designed with efficiency in mind: 1. Connect: Plug in your SD card reader, or open any folder on your device. 2. Review & Flag: Swipe through one photo at a time, or tap Select to flag in bulk. A Cull / Select switch lets you choose what each tap does. 3. Move & Clear: Move all flagged photos to their destination in one tap. Review your culls one last time, then delete to reclaim storage immediately. Key Features: - Two workflows: Cull the rejects and gather the keepers in the same pass. - Flexible select destinations: Send keepers to a subfolder on the card, or out to another drive or folder on your device. - Direct SD Card Access: Works directly with SD cards and external drives through the Files app. No import required. - RAW Support: Native support for ARW, CR2, NEF, DNG, RAF, and more, alongside standard JPG/HEIC. - Safe by design: Files are copied and verified at the destination before the original is removed, so a photo is never lost mid-move. Culls wait in a _Culls folder before anything is deleted, and moves preserve your subfolder structure so same-named files never collide. - Undo and session memory: Step back through flag changes with undo (Cmd+Z on a keyboard), and pick up right where you left off — flags survive closing the app. - Built for judging photos: Zoom in for a sharpness check with extra detail loaded on demand, and flip open the info overlay for capture time, camera, lens and exposure settings. - Sort and filter your way: Order by filename or date (EXIF capture time or last-modified — your choice), filter by file type, or focus the grid on just your culls, selects, or unflagged shots. I use this after every one of my shoots, and I hope you will too!

Fantastic app for quickly reviewing the photos from daily shoots. Grid view, easy navigation, works like a charm. You can select good photos for moving them off the card, mark others for culling. It will make my life much easier and my trips more enjoyable! Thanks 🙏

I have been dying for something this easy to use. It will save me a lot of time and headache not having to review so many initial image files on my computer. I hope to use this as a first pass after every photoshoot!

This update brings several bug fixes and improvements following our recent 1.6 release: • Added support for Camera HEIF (.HIF) and .jfif files. • Fixed an issue where oddly-structured RAW DNG files showed color noise in their thumbnails or appeared as blank previews. • Fixed a bug where all-RAW folders could be mislabeled as "Only Non-RAW Files" in the workflow banner. • Improved accessibility by fixing text clipping and overlap issues with large Dynamic Type sizes in the folder picker and onboarding screens. • Added a visual indicator for unsupported or corrupted thumbnails in the gallery grid. • Refined terminology across the app to accurately refer to "non-RAW" files (which includes HEIF, PNG, TIFF), instead of just "JPEGs". • Fixed an issue where high-resolution zoom detail wouldn't load for certain preview-capped RAW files. Thanks for using SDCull — send feedback anytime!
