Cullit vs SnapCuller

Cullit has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

SnapCuller is a desktop app for selecting and sorting photos on macOS and Windows. Core culling, sorting, focus-peaking calculations, and bucket routing happen locally, and the app works with files directly rather than importing them into a catalog. Review tools include burst auto-stacking, RAW+JPG pairing, face detection, focus peaking, and exposure warnings. Other workflow options include ratings, flags, color labels, IPTC editing, batch renaming, custom folder buckets, and opening images in Photoshop or Affinity Photo. Ratings, flags, and color labels can be exported as XMP sidecars for Lightroom or Capture One; these are described as non-destructive. AI integrations include OpenAI, Gemini, and Ollama. Cloud AI requires the user's API key and sends high-resolution previews over encrypted HTTPS to the selected provider. With Ollama local models, analysis runs offline and images and metadata remain on the user's computer. The free plan costs nothing and supports JPG, PNG, and WebP viewing, but has a three-bucket limit and a 500-action lifetime culling budget. Pro costs 29.00 USD one time and includes native RAW and HEIC support, AI culling, Lightroom XMP sync, and unlimited buckets.
