Cully - Photo Cleaner
Description
Tidy up your photo library. Day by day. Over 20,000 photos and no idea where to start? Duplicates, blurry shots, screenshots from 2019? Cully turns that into something you can actually do. The idea is simple: choose a random date and browse your photos from that day — from all years at once. A different slice of your life, every session. Keep the best, delete the rest. Five minutes a day, and your library feels lighter. HOW IT WORKS • Tap Random and Cully picks a date. You instantly see all photos from that day, across all years. • Scroll through your grid. Tap to select, pinch to zoom for a closer look. • iOS confirms every deletion. Photos go to Recently Deleted and can be restored for 30 days. FEATURES • Privacy first: No account, no cloud, no tracking. Your photos never leave your device. • Smart random: Prefers days you haven't sorted yet. • Share originals: Long-press any photo to share with full quality. • Live Photos & videos: Play them right in the grid. • Date picker: Pick a specific day — sorted days are marked. • Your stats: See how many photos you've deleted and how much storage you've freed up. • Gentle reminders: Optional notifications to help you stay on track. • Lock screen widget: Your deletion stats at a glance. • iCloud sync: Stats and settings across all your devices. • iPhone and iPad: Optimized layouts for every screen size. • Quick actions: Launch directly from your home screen. • Pinch to zoom: Zoom into any photo for a better decision. WHY CULLY? In photography, "to cull" means going through your shots and keeping only the best. We built Cully because we had the same problem: a photo library that kept growing, with no good way to clean it up. No account. No cloud. No AI. No analytics. No subscription. Just open it and get started. Made in Berlin.
What's New
New: Share any photo straight from Cully. Long-press in the grid, tap Share, and the original image — with date, location and all metadata intact — goes to Messages, Mail, AirDrop or any other app. Works for photos, videos and Live Photos. Improved: "Random day" now truly prefers unsorted days without locking you in. When your library is mostly sorted, Cully gently mixes in older days again — so you never get stuck bouncing between the same two dates.

User Reviews
Im really thankful for any app that doesn’t force a subscription. For that alone, 5/5 stars. However this app is also just fun! Instead of scrolling, I find myself going through my photos. I’ve deleted around 500 in just a few days. It makes going through 20,000 photos way less daunting. My only annoyance is that when I click for a random date, It frequently takes me to a date that I had just gone through. Overall I’m really impressed and will definitely be recommending to others!!
Cully is great. Really simple idea: go pull up a handful of photos from a certain date, check them out, delete a selection or al or none of them. It takes minutes, and if you do it regularly, you’ll have made a sizable dent in your eleventeen million photos. I had no idea how much old junk was in there. Once a job gets to big, it seems useless to try. Cully turns it into tiny manageable chunks. Bonus: seeing patterns over the years
Makes the daunting task of culling out many thousands of photos actually fun.
Nice easy bites, much less overwhelming this way and a nice way to look back over the years
Super App, Fotos aussortieren macht damit richtig Spaß.
Finally a photo cleaning app that doesn’t feel like “work”.
