MCG lets you analyse your application profile data natively on macOS.
With call tracing, function summaries, graphs and treemaps, you’ll easily be able to detect and correct any parts of your application that are taking longer or using more memory than they should.
MCG requires callgrind profiling data for your application, which can be generated in many languages such as PHP, Ruby and Python, or can be baked in for compiled languages like C/C++.
FEATURES:
• Super fast parsing of most callgrind files, regardless of language.
• Structural analysis graphs including call depth, class methods call count and cost, and function type.
• Supports compressed callgrind and multi–profile files (supported by Xdebug 2.3+), and 10 ns (supported by Xdebug 3+).
• Various treemap visualizations for MCG’s Outline and Flat data modes, including heat map gradients (please read app help for why treemaps aren’t accurate in profiling tools)
• Outline call tree view for PHP Xdebug shows exact execution path/tree.
• Click navigable to follow calls, treemap nodes and graph points.
• Text search filter.
• Generic cost support, including Seconds, Milliseconds and Microseconds for time costs, and MB/KB/b for memory.
• Supports dark mode, macOS 13 Ventura, macOS 14 Sonoma, macOS 15 Sequoia, both Intel and Apple Silicon.
• Did we mention that it's super fast?
• The original native profiler for Mac.
* Note that some technical knowledge of stack trace/call trees and code performance tuning is required to make use of MCG’s analysis and displays.

Disappointed
Nevelis
If this tool were as functional as kcachegrind, or if it wasn’t worth THIRTY DOLLARS ($5 seems more reasonable) I would be happy. I tried to get a refund but I cannot. I bought this in the hopes that it would save me 2-3 hours waiting for port to compile kcachegrind but I’m absolutely disappointed. What a waste of money.
Developer Response
We're sorry that you weren't happy with MCG. We have a lot of users of MCG and negative feedback is extremely rare. You're right that MCG isn't a copy of kcachegrind, and our feature sets are different. This is pretty clear from the details shown on our Mac App Store description. If our product information was deceptive and lead you to believe that MCG could do something that it doesn't, then please let us know so we can change it immediately. And absolutely we want you to get a refund if we somehow lead you to believe it had features that it doesn't. If you have any specific features that you'd like, then please contact us and let us know!
Crashes on launch

Expensive, and crashes immediately on launch.
Developer Response
We're sorry that you had a problem running MCG. Version 3.2.2 did have an issue where it would crash if you tried to open a random binary file that wasn't profile data. Please contact support if you have any problems with our products and we would have been more than happy to help you. We knew of this issue at the time of your post, and we've since fixed it in 3.2.3.
• Various tweaks and improvements to graph, treemap and list displays.
• Fixed a bug in automatic detection of instruments on open, which selected the wrong instrument and removed the ability to select the correct one (Time, Memory etc.). This was triggered when users tried to parse incorrectly formatted profiles, thinking they were correct. We’ve now restored the ability to manually select instruments after parsing, so these incorrect files can still be opened.
• Requires macOS 13 Ventura or above.
• Built for macOS 15 Sequoia.
