Good article on Nitro and ApolloOne on PetaPixl. The shared development of Sharebridge begs the question as to whether or not the two apps might take it one (or a few) step further and fusion into one.
Thanks for mentioning the article. Good one! I’ve been using ApolloOne for several years and Nitro from day one.
Here is the link for people who want to read it. Petapixel Article on RawBridge
No, I don’t see the apps combining. Apps can’t fuse like that – a few parts (that are easily extracted) can be shared, but that’s about it. RawBridge was a large effort and it’s a relatively small part of both apps.
Great article! It’s about time these apps start getting some notice in the photography press!
I have Nitro open on one desktop in macOS Spaces. When I finish editing a raw photo and export a JPEG to a subfolder, I swipe right to the next desktop in macOS Spaces and view the JPEG in ApolloOne. I often target multiple subfolders and ApolloOne lets me view them all to compare different approaches I may have used on each raw file.
Good article, prompted me to install Apolloone. Not seeing it as very useful with nothing not already in Nitro…unless I am just not seeing the “big picture”. For starters, it is not seeing keywords that are created in Nitro and visible in other apps. It supposedly has “Keyword Management”, but if it doesn’t see existing keywords (tried RAF with xmp sidecars and iPhone DNG files), it is a non starter for me. Glad it was free to try.
I am open to “standing corrected” if anyone thinks I’ve simply missed the key to using Apolloone, or eventually I will remove it. I simply do not see it being anywhere near in the same class as Nitro……gary
ApolloOne is for a very different audience than Nitro. In my experience, ApolloOne is a very fast and effective viewer with decent file management and (more recently) a very basic quick edit functionality. My wife uses it solely to view my images in a shared folder on our shared Mac. It does not compare well with Nitro largely because it does not play on the same field so to speak, with none of the advanced raw editing functionality and no interface with Apple Photos. If someone already has Nitro (or Raw Power), I see little value in having ApolloOne as well but for what it does do, it does well.

I use ApolloOne to import and rename my raw files from my camera memory card to my internal SSD.
I use ApolloOne to view the JPEGs I’ve created from Nitro Photo (or DxO PhotoLab and other raw decoders that I might be testing). As good as any raw decoder’s previews are, the success of my raw edits is not proven to me until I make a JPEG, view it, and compare it with alternate treatments. ApolloOne, with its flexibility, is great for this.
I use CameraRawX (by ApolloOne’s developer) to enable Finder thumbnails and Quick Look for the compressed files from my FUJIFILM X-T5 and X-T4 cameras.
