Cullstack is a fast, specialized photo and video culling tool designed to streamline the creative workflow for photographers and design professionals. Built by a photographer, Cullstack solves one of the most tedious parts of media management by allowing users to rate, pick, and reject files at full speed without the friction of traditional catalog importing.
What sets Cullstack apart is its ability to read your files directly wherever they already live. Whether your media is stored on local drives, Network-Attached Storage (NAS), SFTP, cloud platforms like Dropbox, OneDrive, and iCloud, or directly on your phone, Cullstack handles it seamlessly. Furthermore, the application features on-device AI that never uploads your files, ensuring absolute privacy for your personal or professional photography library. Compatible across Mac, Windows, and Linux, Cullstack provides a flexible, platform-agnostic solution for modern digital asset organization.
