The previous version of Panorama was cross-platform for more than two decades, but the developer has announced that it won’t be developed further. (They weren’t making enough money from Windows users.) You can still buy it for Windows though, but it’s a lot more clunky.

This new version is all-in Cocoa and looks pretty good—I’ll probably pick it up for a project I’m working on.

One thing that I like is that it’s not really a subscription model, it’s more of a metered model (you literally don’t pay if you don’t use), which actually seems perfect for specialized software like this that you might only use occasionally.
