In their own words
Cullora
Cullora is a desktop app for reviewing photo shoots and sorting selected images into folders; it is not an editor or catalog. It displays JPEG previews embedded in RAW files without an import step or catalog database, and supports ARW, CR2, CR3, NEF, RAF, ORF, DNG and JPEG. Burst sequences can appear as one grid tile, then open for frame-by-frame review. Pro's on-device Assist can flag closed eyes, soft focus, misfires and exposure issues, but it does not choose, move or delete photographs. Pro also writes ratings and flags to XMP sidecars for Lightroom or Capture One, and exports filtered photos as a static gallery folder viewable without an account or internet. Culling runs locally and works offline; Cullora says photographs are never uploaded. The free tier limits filing to 50 photos monthly anonymously or 200 with an account, while viewing and rating are unlimited. Pro is listed at €49.00 EUR one-time; the platform page offers a Windows beta for Windows 10/11 64-bit and says the macOS build is in progress, not released.
