FastRawViewer
FastRawViewer opens RAW files extremely quickly and renders them on-the-fly, instead of just displaying embedded JPEGs. It allows a photographer to see the RAW exactly as a converter will "see" it, without any delays or waiting time, guaranteeing the possibility to sort and cull RAW images lightning fast and based on the quality of the RAW itself, not JPEG previews. FastRawViewer's RAW-based tools (unique ones such as RAW histogram, RAW statistics, Shadow Boost, Highlight Inspection, Focus Peaking, per-channel view, as well as familiar ones like Exposure Compensation, White Balance, Contrast Curves) allow one to estimate what converter will be able to squeeze from the RAW image data and make preliminary adjustments to the RAW file, which will be read and applied by Adobe converters.

Culla
Culla is a photo culling app for Mac, iPhone and iPad that helps photographers review large shoots before editing. It opens memory cards, external disks, folders and Photos library albums directly, without importing images into a catalog. Users can keep, reject or tag photos with keyboard shortcuts or touch controls; rejected files are moved aside rather than deleted. Smart Cull runs on-device to identify blurred or poorly exposed images, group near-duplicates and help reduce a shoot to a chosen number of photos. Tags can be written as XMP star ratings or color labels for use in Lightroom, Capture One, Photo Mechanic and darktable. Culla supports common camera RAW formats as well as JPEG and HEIC, and works offline without an account or subscription. One App Store purchase covers Mac, iPhone and iPad.
