For your shoot

One culling app. Five workflows.

ShotSelect is built around the rhythm of a real shoot. Pick the page that matches what you photograph — each one shows how the workflow adapts to the frames, file sizes, deadlines, and handoffs you actually deal with.

Keyboard-first · 50+ shortcuts 40+ RAW formats · CR3 · ARW · NEF · RAF On-device · free tier never uploads Lightroom-ready · XMP sidecars

Wedding · 8 hr shoot · 3,000 frames

Wedding photographers.

Card-in by midnight, sneak peeks before the honeymoon. First-dance bursts, ring details, candids — culled and tagged so the gallery practically builds itself.

~90 min 3k frames → 387 gallery

Sports · Deadline · 15k+ frames

Sports & event stringers.

15,000 frames, one deadline. ShotSelect runs natively on Apple Silicon, indexes embedded JPEGs in milliseconds, and lets you remap the keyboard to whatever muscle memory you already have.

~50 ms key → next frame

Wildlife · Burst-heavy · 10k+ frames

Wildlife & nature.

Birds-in-flight bursts at 30fps mean 90% of your card is near-duplicates. Burst grouping collapses sequences to one keeper; compare mode lets you check feather sharpness side-by-side.

~12k frames per session

Commercial · Same-day · 2k frames

Commercial & brand.

Day of shoot, selects by dinner. Color labels split your card into Hero / Selects / Client review / Outtake. Your retoucher gets a clean Selects folder; the client never sees the dailies.

Enthusiast · Personal archive

Enthusiasts & weekend shooters.

You don't have a deadline — you have a backlog. ShotSelect makes the backlog catch-up actually finishable: open a folder, keep-or-skip with the arrow keys, search by natural language when you can't remember which trip a photo was from.
