Cullora
What it is
Cullora is a desktop app for reviewing photo shoots and sorting selected files into folders. It is a culling tool, 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 files. Burst sequences can appear as one grid tile, then open for frame-by-frame review. Pro's on-device Assist flags closed eyes, soft focus, misfires, and exposure for review, and groups bursts; it does not choose, move, or delete photos. Culling runs locally and offline, and Cullora says photos are never uploaded. The free tier allows 50 photos filed monthly anonymously or 200 with an account, while viewing and rating remain unlimited. Pro is €€49 once. The download page offers a Windows beta; the macOS build is still in progress. A free account is required to download the app, though the installed app works offline without signing in.

The verdict
Cullora focuses on local photo review and sorting, with RAW previews and offline use. Its free filing cap and Windows beta status are important considerations; Pro adds unlimited filing and other tools for a one-time €€49.
Who it suits
Cullora suits photographers who want to review and file shoots locally, including offline, and work with RAW previews. Its current download is for Windows; macOS users should note that the build is not released.
