In their own words

ApolloOne

ApolloOne is a photo and video viewer for Mac that lets photographers browse and cull images without placing camera RAW files in a proprietary database. Its EXIF tools manage keywords and metadata, which users can search alongside files, with optional regular-expression support. For image inspection, it can show camera autofocus points over a photo at 100% magnification. Interactive Apple and Google Maps support GPS location editing by dragging and dropping. Slideshows can play music from iTunes playlists, and the app can work with an external image editor. Pro Edition adds batch resizing and format conversion, batch export including RAW-to-JPEG conversion, and memory-card import with Auto Resume. ApolloOne supports RAW images, side-by-side comparison, contact sheets, color management, and metadata viewing. It runs only on macOS, and the App Store listing requires macOS 12.0 or later. A free version is available indefinitely, with a purchase reminder after 14 days; a 14-day trial is also listed. Paid options include subscriptions and perpetual licenses.
