CullKit

Cull a whole card before Lightroom — burst by burst, in your browser

Lay out a shoot as frames with real capture times, let the 2-second burst grouper find the sequences, judge focus and eyes as you go, and star or reject with one tap. Out comes a keepers list and a ratings CSV. Free, no account, nothing uploaded.

What you can do in CullKit on the web

Real burst grouping

The same rule the iPhone app uses: frames captured within a set gap of each other (2 seconds by default) are one burst, and singletons stay on their own — so you cull a sequence, not a scroll.

Suggested pick per burst

Score each frame Tack / OK / Soft and Eyes open / closed, and CullKit surfaces the highest sharpness × eyes-open score in the burst as the suggested pick — the phone's exact formula, with your eye supplying the readings.

Big-thumb star rating

One tap for 1–5 stars, a Reject button for the misses, Skip when you can't decide, and a burst strip you can jump around in. The next frame comes up automatically.

Keepers list and ratings CSV

Copy every keeper at your star threshold as a comma-separated filename list to paste into a Lightroom filter, or download a CSV with the stars, rejects, capture times and pick scores.

Build a shoot from the card

Give it a filename prefix, first frame number, frame count and how fast you were shooting — or paste a list of filenames — and CullKit lays out the frame list with capture timestamps.

Cull pace and time saved

Running totals of frames culled, starred and rejected, a star distribution, culls per shoot, and minutes saved against the three-second desktop baseline.

Settings

Suggested picks, the focus and eyes controls, burst gap, keeper threshold, backup, sample data and erase.

Try it with sample data: Loads three shoots — a wedding reception, a lakeside engagement and a studio headshot session — with 88 frames laid out in bursts, focus and eyes judged on every frame, and 66 of them already starred or rejected. You can start fresh at any time.

Your data

Lives in this browser. Nowhere else.

• Saved with your browser's local storage — never uploaded.
• Clearing site data, cookies, or history erases it permanently.
• Private windows forget it when closed.
• Another browser or device starts empty — nothing syncs.
• Export a JSON backup from the in-app menu any time; import it later.

What a phone app would add

• The browser cannot read your Photos library, so CullKit here works from a frame list you build (prefix, first number, count and shooting rhythm, or pasted filenames) rather than your actual photos — there are no thumbnails, just the frame card.
• There is no on-device Vision analysis: blur and eyes-closed are your call on the Tack / OK / Soft and Eyes open / closed controls, and the suggested pick is computed from those readings with the phone's own sharpness × eyes-open formula.
• Ratings cannot be written back into the Photos library. You export them as a keepers list to paste into a Lightroom filter, or as a CSV.
• The frame list of a shoot is fixed once it is built so your stars never point at the wrong file — edit the title, date, camera and notes, but add a new shoot for a new card.
• Everything is stored in this browser only; clearing site data erases the shoots, and it does not sync to your phone.

No. Open CullKit and start using it right away. Sign in with Google only if you want to upvote an app, save it to your list, or leave a comment.

Where is my data stored?+

Only in this browser's local storage. Nothing you enter is sent to our servers, so we can't see it, back it up, or restore it. Clearing site data, a private window, or another device starts empty. Export a backup from the in-app menu to keep it.

Is there a CullKit app for iPhone or Android?+

Not yet. CullKit is a community proposal: the browser version is complete, and we build the iPhone and Android app once 100 people upvote it. Upvoters get one email when it ships.
