Pixcull is a local-first, on-device AI application designed for professional photographers. It automates the tedious process of photo culling using a sophisticated 6-axis rubric for scoring images based on quality, composition, and relevance. The tool exports metadata in XMP and IPTC formats and is compatible with Lightroom and Capture One workflows. As an open-source Python package, it emphasizes privacy by running entirely locally without sending images to the cloud.
