Thermal Viewer opens and analyzes radiometric thermal images right on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No Windows PC, no camera accessory, and no account. Searching for "FLIR Tools for Mac" or a SmartView alternative? This is the native app you have been missing. FLIR discontinued its Mac software and Fluke's mobile viewer is no longer maintained. Thermal Viewer fills that gap, fully offline. WORKS WITH • FLIR radiometric JPEG: E-series, T-series, Cx, FLIR ONE, CAT phones • Fluke IS2 files • Radiometric TIFF (ResearchIR, Vue / Duo Pro R) • InfiRay / P2 Pro thermal JPEG • DJI thermal JPEG (image and capture parameters) • Plain thermal JPEGs EVERY PIXEL IS A TEMPERATURE Tap anywhere to read the exact temperature. Add spot, box, ellipse and line measurements with min / avg / max, and Delta-T between any two of them. PROFESSIONAL ANALYSIS • 8 color palettes plus your camera's own palette • Level/span with histogram, isotherms, automatic hot and cold markers • Live re-analysis: change emissivity, reflected temperature and distance, and temperatures recompute instantly • Visible-light blend, picture-in-picture, and MSX-style edge overlay • °C / °F / K • Full camera, lens, GPS and parameter inspector EXPORT & BATCH • Export the full temperature matrix to CSV • Export rendered images (PNG) and reproducible analysis settings (JSON) • Hotspot Triage: scan a whole folder and flag every image above your threshold • Batch export PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device.

RadSim Controller
Read full descriptionHide full description
RadSim Controller configures and monitors Argon Electronics Rad Source training simulators over Bluetooth. IMPORTANT: This app requires Argon Electronics Rad Source hardware. It has no function without a Rad Source to connect to. Argon Electronics has manufactured simulation equipment for CBRNe and HazMat training since 1987, allowing radiological survey training to be carried out realistically and safely, with no radioactive material involved. FEATURES Connect to a Rad Source in three ways: scan for nearby units over Bluetooth, scan the QR code on the unit, or enter the address printed on its label. Set and read simulated readings for each level: dose rate, activity and neutron count, at a configured distance. Choose the measurement units you work in - dose rate, activity and distance are configured independently and are converted, not merely relabelled. Reconnect quickly to units you have used before, from a saved list. REQUIREMENTS An Argon Electronics Rad Source simulator, and Bluetooth enabled on your device. For information about Argon Electronics simulation equipment, visit www.argonelectronics.com or contact argon@argonelectronics.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RadSim Controller at none against Thermal Viewer's 3. Thermal Viewer's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
