Security & Privacy

RawCull prioritizes your privacy and security with the following measures:

  • Digitally Signed & Notarized: The application is signed and notarized by Apple, protecting against tampering and ensuring authenticity
  • Sandboxed Application: Runs in a secure sandbox environment, limiting access to only the files and folders you explicitly grant
  • Local-Only Processing: All photo processing happens entirely on your Mac—no cloud synchronization or data collection
  • No Telemetry: RawCull does not collect, transmit, or store any usage data or personal information
  • File System Security: Uses macOS security features to ensure safe access to your photo library with explicit user permissions
  • Default rsync: Uses the default /usr/bin/rsync for file copying and supports --dry-run (simulate) mode
  • Non-destructive: RawCull only copies files; it does not delete or overwrite

Your photos and culling decisions remain completely private and under your control at all times.
