In their own words
OptiCull
OptiCull is a macOS app for selecting photos from a shoot, with manual comparison and automated assistance. It groups duplicates into scenes for side-by-side review, with adjustable grouping preferences and synchronized zoom on a face, all faces, or an image region. Magi-Cull can identify blurry photos or blinking subjects and suggest varied keepers based on user preferences; users can override its assessments. During import, the app can read from an SD card, identify photo sessions, apply custom naming patterns, and analyze images while copying. Selected photos can be sent to Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC, Capture One, Apple Photos, and other Mac apps following Apple's standard file-import guidelines. The maker says photos stay on the local machine and AI processing runs on-device, though account, purchase, usage, and diagnostic data may be collected. OptiCull supports JPG, RAW+JPG, and RAW formats supported by the host macOS version. It requires macOS 11.0 or later and can run with 8GB RAM. Hobbyist is free; Pro is listed at $79.99, paid once.
