A fast and lightweight photo culling application for Canon DSLR files, designed to help photographers quickly sort through their photos and decide which files to keep, delete, or process further.
Most existing photo management solutions feel overcomplicated for the simple task of culling photos after a shoot.

- Skip the import process - Work directly with your files without catalog overhead
- Make decisions quickly - Simple keyboard shortcuts and immediate visual feedback
- Stay focused - No distracting features, just the essentials for photo culling
