Cull

Cull: pull the photos and videos from one shoot out of your library (by time range, from a shooting log or shooting plan, or straight from the reminder card when you have just finished shooting) and go through them one at a time: swipe up to mark for deletion, swipe down to keep, swipe sideways to move between photos. You can undo, change any decision in the overview, and pick up where you left off next time. When you finish, everything is handled at once: the photos marked for deletion go to the system trash after one confirmation (on Android 10, which has no trash, it tells you plainly that deletion is permanent), and the keepers can be saved into an album named after the shoot, sent through the system share sheet, or taken to a new post (up to 9 photos). Works with Live Photos / motion photos (long-press to play) and videos. Everything happens on the device; photos are never uploaded. Free.
