Maybe you could run this Windows software on OSX using Wine for OSX?

I already tried it with WineSkin and WineBottler, unfortunately to no avail. I'm not really good at making ports this way, but sometimes it worked.
However thank you for the idea anyway.

I wrote an email to the developer of Kuadro, asking if an OS X version is planned
An OSX version is definitely planned. I have it mostly working locally, but I'm having a tough time packaging it all and getting it to run properly on a second machine. The dependencies are getting jumbled with local dependencies.

It's definitely coming though, stay tuned.

Thanks Sven! I've been using Irfanview but this looks very interesting!

I wrote some emails with the developer and helped a bit testing the beta and now kuadro is available for mac too, if anyone is interested.

I've been using this tool for many months now and it is fantastic! So simple and efficient and I'm still discovering new handy tools and shortcuts.
One of them is that you set the opacity of your reference images. So you can still see the icons on the desktop of your reference monitor. :D :D
