In their own words
PixCull
PixCull is an open-source photo and video culling tool that sorts shoots into keep, maybe, and cull groups. It scores each frame from 1–5 stars on technical quality, subject, composition, light, moment, and aesthetic, with a written rationale for each area. The product describes nine photography verticals, from weddings and wildlife to journalism and still life. For photo workflows, it exports XMP sidecars for Lightroom and Capture One, IPTC captions, and HTML galleries; it can also watch tether destinations and sync folders through iCloud, Dropbox, or NAS. Video tools score clips, identify reel candidates, transcribe audio, and export EDL files for Premiere or Resolve. RAW decoding, scoring, face analysis, and GPS analysis can run locally. The maker says photos are sent to MiniMax for judging by default since v2.50 after recorded consent; cloud judging can be disabled with `--vlm-mode off`. PixCull states it has no telemetry, and cached models plus disabled cloud judging can allow runs without a network connection. The plan is free; optional cloud model calls may incur API costs.
